I am close to finishing a new build myself. You are spot on! As the owner I have been sweeping my new build every weekend and every step of the way. Its insane the amount of dust and debris I have removed. People wonder why their homes are forever dusty. Its because its never done in the first place. Notice this woman says a 3 step process. I wish you were near me, because I could use your expertise and care for sure! In short, unless you have a professional like this woman, you best do it yourself. Because no one! will do it like you do it.
Thank you. Such a kind comment. The dust is crazy. If you change your vent filters every 30 to 60 days for the first year, it helps so much. Congratulations on ur new home. I hope u celebrate along the way. That's such a major accomplishment 🙌🏽 Have a wonderful week.
Hola. Best of luck with ur cleaning in the AM. I like to turn on a good podcast or my favorite music with big jobs. I get lost in the process which makes it easier to do. Thank u for watching. 😊
It looks great, Kym! You did the right thing getting out of that job. I’ve had that happen to me before. It’s awful. I’m glad you realized so quickly what was happening and did the best thing for you.
Thanks for the reminder to take care of my mental health. We just recently moved to a new state and I will be starting my own new journey with Post Construction Cleaning and am so excited to get started. Thank you for all the wonderful tips, I so appreciate them.
Wow you were so detailed with it! Not afraid to get in there at all. That’s exactly how I clean & when clients ask for a quick clean. I’m like ma’am there’s no such thing! Great video!
So good for your clients to have you! Your work is very thorough and the result is a sparkling clean house 👏🏽 You’re right! Mental health is so much more important than job and money! Glad your little one had a great birthday dinner 👏🏽cake cutting reminded me of the time when we had our kids living with us. Great memories
I loved that you were smart and used the vacuum to get the bulk of the dirt. It's actually soothing to watch. You did an amazing job. I definitely get the mentally abuse. I am glad you set yourself free. I am proud of you. Happy Birthday again sweetie!
You did an amazing cleaning job! The occupants are going to love it and be so grateful! You don’t deserve any kind of abuse. Glad you made the best choice for you. Kariah is growing into a beautiful young lady. Happy Birthday to her. Liv has that shirt she is wearing. So cute!! Great video!
Hi Kym, i’m a housekeeper and run my own business for the past two years and I have a post construction cleanup to do this evening and just thought I would look through some videos on TH-cam. Maybe I can find a new technique or just get a refresher on what to do to clean an empty house in this condition. I came across your video, and just hearing your story and the positive affirmations throughout your video actually help me get through this day. I just left a 16 year relationship which I was mentally and verbally abused about two months ago and I’ve been struggling to get back on my feet ever cents. I’ve slept in my car, I’ve made a negative impact on the relationship with my two teenage boys because I left home. Everything has fallen apart and it’s been a struggle getting things back together but I just wanted to thank you for your video.
Hello. Thank u for sharing ur story. Keep saying those affirmations. Get to a point where u believe it and feel it in ur bones. Everything is going to work out and u will be able to mend that relationship. I appreciate u watching. Have a great week
Alisha 💔😭 how are you now? My 13 year marriage is grinding to a halt. It's devastating, I think for my husband too, but he wanted this. I'm in a safe, good place, all to myself, never had to sleep in my car, never had to spend a night away in an unsafe, cold, wet place. I go to bed with a full belly, unless my anxious stress makes me unable to eat...I have access to food is my point. How are your boys? How are you? Sending love from the Central Oregon Coast💙🙏💙
Hello Kym, I haven’t had a new construction but I have had renovations and I can definitely appreciate the awesome job you did. Yes, please tell all. Happy birthday baby girl! Tfs!
Hola. There are 3 cleans involved with post construction. Each time, I dust and wipe with a dry cloth. The paint they used is flat paint. If the paint was upgraded, I would do a detailed clean with water after dusting several times. The big thing is getting off all the dust before u use anything wet to clean with. For bigger houses, the Bona mop would work. This unit was 1200 square feet. Thank u for watching.
Thank you for showing this. I used to help my family clean up after new builds sometimes, but as my husband and I are moving out of an old apartment into a brand new one, we're realizing that a lot of the initial cleaning there is probably going to fall on us. Whoever gets that place after your work is very blessed! It was helpful to be reminded of what all I need to plan to do in our new place. I noticed that there are heaps of drywall dust in the water heater and HVAC closet. ...I know my husband really wants to keep costs down because we're already planning on buying a new dryer and vacuum and a few other big ticket items... But I am not sure how I'm going to tackle those dust dunes. If we get a nice vacuum for our regular home use, I'm pretty sure that dust will destroy it. I don't know if it's worth it to buy a shop vac just for this one clean? I've even considered buying a crummy little Dirt Devil and just expecting to have to junk it at the end although I don't love that idea both for the lack of a good filter in there, and because it seems wasteful. I guess my final option is a dust pan and hand brush. (I will be wearing a good mask, regardless, because I have frustratingly fragile lungs.) Do you have thoughts or suggestions about whether to get a specific vacuum for tackling this construction dust, and if so, what kind? I appreciate you providing a place to try to figure this out; it's been swirling through my brain all day and driving me crazy! Thanks again for this encouraging video! 🎉
Hola, happy Saturday. Thank u so much for ur comment. I'm very appreciative of ur presence. I would only use a shopvac for the dust. U will want to start with the walls and work ur way down. The thing is, u will more than likely use it more than 1 time. We do 3 different cleans to rid dust, and with the last walk thru, we sometimes find drywall dust particles. Home Depot and Lowes have great deals on shopvacs. Definitely purchase extra filters and dump the contents often. There are a few brands that should work just fine if u do it that way. Craftsman and Bauer seem to be the least expensive. When u do decide to purchase, pay special attention to the power level of the shopvacs. Google the power level u will need specifically for drywall dust. Keeping it clean will make it last for years. That's the secret. I hope u have an amazing weekend.
@@KymAtHome Thank you so much for your thoughtful and educated response. This is just what I needed to hear! I started watching your Cleaning with Chronic Fatigue video last night, too (but fell asleep before I finished it.) I am disabled with chronic illnesses and autoimmune issues, and I struggle with exhaustion and pain, so I related to your content (overdoing it on a good day, especially 😅). Thank you for saving me time and energy with your tips, and I pray that the Lord will bless you with many very good days. 💖
It so crazy how there are so many people who suffer in silence. I'm going to add u to my prayer list. Thank you for ur kind comments. I really do appreciate it more than you could ever know.
@@KymAtHome That is so sweet; thank you, and I'll put you on my special small prayer list on my fridge, too. Hebrews 12:1-3 is my favorite passage and I use it as a frequent pep talk to remind myself why I can press on and endure with joy. Praying for strength for you to press on today, too! ☀️
Hey Kym, thanks for your sharing. So detailed and motivating. Can't wait for the next video.😊And if you need a cordless vac to help you with cleaning, welcome to know Prettycare🥰
Hi Kym! So relaxing watching. You cleaned that place well 😊 im 👃 so I would like to know about that job situation lol also Happy belated birthday to your daughter!!!! 🎉

This is what I call a thural cleaning!

Im so excited for this video. I'll be doing my first post construction clean next week
How exciting. It's a lot of work but so rewarding.
@KymAtHome I'll be cleaning 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, and the master room. Do you recommend I do it alone or find a second person
@angelicamcalpine it depends on everything u have to do & how big the unit is. I like working alone some people prefer a team of people.
@KymAtHome ive tried working with people. That didnt work out for me.
Nice family and great cleaning tips . Happy bday to your lovely daughter. with much love.😍
Thank u so much. I hope u have a great week.

Hi, how much do you charge to clean construction house?
I do contractual agreements based off size, number of rooms, and what needs done in the home. My contracts are commercial. I don't do residential.
What is a good price for residental new construction post cleaning
Hola. For me, my work is all contracted. So, it's not per unit. Sorry I couldn't help you
👍🏼
Are these new homes build cleans before delivery?
Hola. These are new homes. I am not sure what you mean by delivery?
@@KymAtHome what I mean by delivery is before the new home owner gets the keys to the house
Ohh ok. Yes, there are 3 different types of cleans handled prior to the homes being occupied. Thank u so much for watching. I hope u have an amazing weekend.
1:02 what is that attachment called?
There isn't an attachment. It's just the hose from the shop vac. It had blue tape on it. Thank u for watching
What is on your hose end?
Hola. Using a shock vac for all the dust.
kym how are you❤❤
👋🏼
