You can try a part time cleaner service I use. Good and honest. PM if you need the contact but it depends on where you are though. May not come to your place.

In fact when we're cleaning I have to wear mask to reduce the irritation to nose.I heard there are some pro specially handle this kind of cleaning. Very expensive? |

Try doing a search. Recall a least 2 guys offering their cleaning services in this forum.
If want cheaper alternative, get the Indo maids to clean. Anyway, after major renovation where hacking work was involved, it needs to be clean a few times before it can be considered habitable. |

I was lucky, ask my main contractor to clean first round which include remove most of the cement, and major scrapping. Than ask maid come in to clean the grills, toilets and floor.
After that, took us (my wife and me) 3 weekends to slowly clean all the toilets, scrap the small cement / grout out from the tiles, white plaster and also some other tiny stuff. After than run my US maid for few times a week to have the floor sweep clean. Is not 100%, but I would say 90% clean now. |

QUOTE(kelvyn @ Jan 4 2012, 08:43 AM) Why wipe the newly painted walls? You could stain them in the process. Just use a duster to get ride of the dust, if any I got wipe the walls cause too dirty. My contractor starts the painting before carpentary works and plaster ceiling, causing the dirty walls. So far no peelings. |

Can wipe, I wipe mine too. Dust still stick. Dust find all places to stick around. Even on the small edge.

If painted wall is light in colour, not noticeable. If wall is of darker colour and the cloth is not clean, the dust could stain the painted wall.
