Fine construction dust settled on every surface after renovation work — Barcelona, Catalonia
After drywall finishing, tile cutting, or concrete grinding, an ultra-fine dust permeates the entire home — coating shelves, infiltrating HVAC ducts, and settling inside cabinets that were closed during the work. Normal vacuuming just re-suspends the particles. A professional post-construction cleaning crew uses HEPA-filtered vacuums, damp-wipe techniques, and air scrubbers to capture particles down to 0.3 microns. They systematically work top-to-bottom, clean inside ductwork registers, wipe down every surface including light fixtures and blinds, and leave the home move-in ready.
