Embarking on a home remodel can be a big undertaking. Even if you aren’t the person that is doing all the work, you can bet that there will be a great deal of mess that is involved in the process.

However, there are some things that you can do to prepare for it. Mickey’s Carting is here to share some tips to help you prepare for the mess that is about to overtake your home during your home remodeling project.
How Do You Keep Your House Clean when Remodeling?
Whether you are at the point when you’re getting ready to demo the house for a remodel or are getting to the end and working on drywall, there is a mess at every turn. There are several things that a homeowner can do to help limit the mess that is involved when remodeling though.
– Create Dust Barriers: You will want to do what you can to keep the dirt, dust and debris limited to the place you are working in. This can be done by putting up barriers to keep the dust as contained as possible. You can do this with plastic sheeting that can stretch between walls. You can also close off doors and entry ways with sheeting that is taped off and removed to come in and out of the workspace. You might also want to consider covering the flooring if you are planning on keeping the flooring that is there. This will help protect it throughout the process.
– Cover Registers: When you’re working on a portion of your house, it can end up making it was into your ductwork and circulated throughout the house with the AC system. Coving your registers and vents will help eliminate this problem.
– Direct Dust: Another thing that you can do to keep dust from taking over your house is to aim a fan at the window and direct it to the outdoors. This can be helpful in lessening the dust that piles up but will not eliminate it completely.
– Protect Windows: To protect your windows from the hazards of construction, you can also cover them with plastic sheeting that will put a barrier there to keep them intact.
– Rent a Dumpster: When you’re in any stage of a remodel, you will find that a dumpster is absolutely necessary. It can help you to remove debris during demo as well as getting rid of trash as the process gets underway.
