Post-construction and renovation cleaning in Delhi.

In much of Delhi, the "new" home is a rebuilt one. Old kothis in Rohini, Pitampura, Punjabi Bagh and South Delhi come down and go up again as stilt-plus-four builder floors, sold one floor at a time, and the buyer of each floor inherits whatever the site team left behind: cement splashes on vitrified tiles, paint drops on the glass, putty dust in every window channel, stickers on every fitting. Older flats and kothis get partial renovations: a new modular kitchen, re-done bathrooms, or marble floors ground and re-polished, which leaves a grey slurry in the corners and along the skirting.

The order matters. Fine dust is vacuumed first, before anything is wiped, or it turns to a muddy film on the tiles. Then the marks: flat blades held level on glass and glazed tiles, solvent for paint, and on marble and Kota stone a neutral cleaner only, because acids etch it. Then the full clean, ceiling to floor, with the floors machine-scrubbed last.

Book it once the last painter and carpenter have left and the debris is gone (removing rubble is the contractor's job). In a builder floor, tell us whether the building's lift is working and whether the staircase is still being finished; we plan the equipment around it.
