Rough clean
This phase follows major work and focuses on agreed loose debris, sweep or vacuum work, and preparing areas for continued finish activity.
Final clean
Detailed cleaning addresses fine dust, glass, fixtures, cabinets, ledges, finished surfaces, floors, and the turnover checklist after trades substantially complete.
Touch-up clean
A shorter pass corrects new dust, fingerprints, footprints, and presentation issues created after the final clean.
Confirm project readiness
Each phase depends on trade completion, access, power and water availability, surface protection, debris responsibility, and inspection date.
Practical checklist
Information to gather
