For most new house owners, nothing feels better than being handed the house key, firm up interior design of their new home with the interior designers and watching the contractors getting to work, seeing as your dream home coming to reality piece by piece.
This surreal experience however, often turns into a nightmare as the finishing touches towards the construction is done. While this doesn’t apply to all, post renovation results in Malaysia have been nothing but a mixed bag of hits and miss as it is not uncommon that new landlords are met with a horrific sight of the mess that the contractors have left the home in.
Don’t get us wrong, most of our customers were generally satisfied with the construction but most were done without much care in regards to the cleanliness.
While most contractors are beginning to improve their services, many still suffer from their home being anything but a habitable home as the contractors have left behind a mess in their wake, ranging from layers of dust, paint saints, cement wastes, debris and many more. It shouldn’t be this way and we are here to solve this issue.
We know. We know. Some people may think, how bad can it be? We can just take matters into our hands. This is usually not a really good idea for a number of reasons.
Firstly, you may require specialized tools to clean certain areas, of which upon purchase, you may never use them again. This can range from long extendable sticks, industrial level vacuums, extremely tall ladders, specific types of detergents and acid and many more.
It is not entirely economical and may break the bank for you and there are some that may not even be available for purchase such as scaffolding.
Secondly, there are some type of stains that will require different types of chemicals and acid to tend to, and the strength of such chemicals to be used also varies based on the floor type that your house is fit with.
For example, a paint stain on a wooden floor needs to be treated differently than a paint stain on a marble floor. One mistake and your precious floor may be damaged, leaving an awkward mark, causing thousands in repairs to undo.
We at Kilat Kilat have dealt with numerous cases of different stains on different types of floors and are trained to know which to use under circumstances so you can be worry free.
Next, manpower and training. It becomes more and more unrealistic for you to handle the cleaning all by yourself or with a partner or two the bigger your house is.
While it sounds entirely plausible for you to clean a studio apartment, the idea makes a lot less sense if we are talking about a landed property, especially anything from the 1500 sq ft and above mark.
Your time is better vested in something of your priority as we not only have the manpower but also the training, to get the job done in the most efficient manner possible. This will save you a lot of time and also potential injuries if any.
It sounds all fine and dandy, doesn’t it? That we can solve all your woes if you are to meet with a disastrous case of post renovation in Malaysia but what does a post renovation cleaning in Malaysia really entails?
