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.

You have a good contractor... mine don't care at all.

Somethings he is good, some he is not. But we bring everything up to discuss and I am not the very fussy type. I "F" him, he "F" me.

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.

i wonder if you do spray waters inside the house against the wall, floor and every where?  i found that to absolutely clean the floor, must spray it with water and some detergent...else there is no way to totally remove the dust by just mopping..

Floor is ok, but not wall and wooden door. What happen if water slip into plugs? go into wood and expand?
