Tips For Cleaning Up After A Renovation

If you intend performing a DIY renovation to your home or office, you might be surprised at how much dust and debris you create. Below are a few tips for cleaning up after a renovation, as well as keeping your work area as clean as possible while you work.

Rent A Mini Bin:-

By renting a mini bin you can easily clean your work site as you go. The size and scale of your renovation will determine the size and type of mini bin you require. The type of waste you generate may also require more than one type of bin—such as one bin for soil, and another for concrete.

Seal Off The Surrounding Rooms:-

Minimize dirt and disruption in the rest of your home or office by sealing off the surrounding rooms. You can find large roles of plastic sheeting at any home improvement store. Just make sure that the tape you use to seal the area is safe for the walls they are taped to. Tape all four sides, including both walls, ceiling, and floor. To really minimize the transfer of dust, use 2 layers for rooms you will not need to access —and 3 layers for rooms you will be going in and out of; two that function as flaps on each side of the slit you use to access the space. Also cover any smoke and CO2 detectors in the room, or the volume of dust may render them obsolete.

Renovation Clean Up:-

Once your renovation is complete, comes the time-consuming job of cleaning up. Start at the top, and work your way down to the flooring. Rent or purchase an industrial vacuum to suction up the fine dust that remains after wiping down the ceilings and walls with a dust mop or microfiber cloths. Don’t forget to pay special attention to light fixtures, smoke and CO2 detectors, and vents. Last but not least, change your air filters directly before and after your renovation—and again in the next 2 weeks.

Renovations are an excellent way to maximize your space, beautify your home, and increase your property value. Call Core Mini Bins today to schedule a drop-off of your renovation mini bin.

Keeping Pests Out Of Your Garbage Disposal Bin

Insects, rodents, and pests are always searching for new food sources, and a convenient place to stay warm and dry—but you don’t want that place to be your garbage disposal bin. Not only are pests alarming, but they can be aggressive when startled—and they increase the risk of spreading infectious disease near your home or business. Turn to the tips below as a proactive approach to minimizing your risk of pests in your rubbish.

Keep The Lid On :-

As simple as this might sound, keeping the lid or flap on your trash bin is often more challenging than meets the eye. Rodents are sneaky and fast, and can hop in during even a few minutes of your lid being left open. Rodents are also crafty, and raccoons and possums seem to be experts at removing lids. If you have a large bin, the flaps on the bin are often large and easy for rats and other small rodents to squeeze in. Invest in lids that latch, keep flaps in place with a chain and pad lock, and really squish your trash down to ensure that the lid lays flat. If your trash is in excess, invest in a secondary bin—or set aside non-perishable waste, and wait to place it on top until the evening before pickup.

Keep Your Bin As Clean As Possible :-

Keep your garbage disposal bin as clean as possible, which can of course be challenging. Spray out both the interior and exterior, even when they don’t look or smell particularly dirty—but especially when they do. When throwing out food waste that is particularly heavy or smelly, consider double bagging your trash bags. Also consider investing in heavy duty trash bags, that will help to control odor and prevent leakage. 

Last but not least, thoughtful placement of all garbage disposal bins is key. When possible, place in clean and dry areas—and away from fences or areas that rats or rodents can easily climb to access. If your volume of waste will be higher than usual, it may be best to rent a mini bin from Core Mini Bins.
