Post-Construction Cleaning Science
The physics of construction dust removal — why standard cleaning fails and what works instead.
Drywall dust can turn into a sticky film when damp. Steam helps loosen it.
Hard silica dust (Mohs 7) can micro-scratch softer surfaces like marble and hardwood. Lift-and-remove avoids push-and-pull damage.
Post-construction homes near I-5 can see more traffic dust. Brake dust can add to the silica abrasion problem.
