To remove new construction dust, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter on all surfaces, including furniture and carpet. Follow that up with a damp mop to pick up lingering dust on hard surfaces. Take some time cleaning appliances and ceiling fans. Finally, clean all of the air filters and properly ventilate the home. Stay away from sweeping, as this will spread the dust around.

Whether you tip before or after a carpet cleaning depends on when you’re available. If you’re home when they finish up, you can give them their tip after. However, if you need to leave before they’re done or if you won’t be home at all, you can prepare the tip beforehand and leave it for them in an envelope.

Professional window cleaners typically use either a white vinegar solution or a commercial hard water stain remover to clean hard water stains on windows. A common vinegar solution for this purpose consists of one cup of white vinegar mixed with a gallon of distilled or bottled water. The pro will spray the mixture and lightly scrub the window with a scrubby pad before cleaning with a standard cleaning solution. Alternatively, they may use a commercially available hard water stain remover and a scrubby pad, followed by a complete cleaning.
