Professional Cleaning After Renovations in Barcelona
The construction dust problem
A renovation transforms a space, but it also leaves it covered in dust, material remnants and dirt that a normal domestic clean simply cannot eliminate. Construction dust is fine, penetrating and settles on every surface, every corner and every crevice in the apartment. Paint stains on glass, plaster residue on floors and silicone in joints all require specific products and techniques.
A technical necessity, not a luxury
In Barcelona, where renovations of Eixample apartments, commercial premises in El Born and holiday rentals in Barceloneta are constant, post-renovation cleaning is an essential step before you can inhabit, furnish or rent out the space. Without professional cleaning, construction dust reappears for weeks, new floors get scratched from stepping on sand remnants, and sanitary fittings debut with cement stains.
A professional four-phase protocol
Casa Fresca specialises in end-of-build cleaning in Barcelona. Our team arrives with professional equipment (industrial vacuums, scrapers, steam cleaners and products specific to each material) and follows a four-phase protocol to leave the space ready to enjoy. Our office is in Eixample, at Carrer de Casanova 37, and we travel to any point in Barcelona and the surrounding area.

Estimated duration: 4-8 hours depending on the size of the apartment and the scale of the renovation. Full renovations of large apartments may require 2 sessions with a team of 2-3 people.
Types of Renovations We Cover
Full renovation
Fully renovated apartments: new floors, bathrooms, kitchen, partition walls and installations. The amount of dust and debris is at its maximum. Requires cleaning over two sessions with a team of 2-3 people.
Partial renovation
Renovation of a bathroom, kitchen or a single room. Less debris but the construction dust spreads throughout the entire apartment. A single session of 3-5 hours is usually sufficient.
Full repaint
Painting an entire apartment generates drips on floors, splashes on glass, stains on door frames and a fine layer of dust from prior sanding. Specific cleaning of 3-4 hours.
Floor installation
Parquet, laminate, tiles or micro-cement. Each material leaves different residue: sawdust, tile adhesive, grout or resin. We clean with products specific to each finish.
Commercial premises
Shops, offices and hospitality venues renovated before opening. Larger surfaces, shop fronts, ventilation systems and customer-facing areas.
Why Not Do It Yourself?
A technical job, not a household chore
Post-renovation cleaning is not an intensive domestic clean. It is a technical job that requires specific tools and expertise. A household vacuum cleaner does not have the power needed to eliminate the fine construction dust that settles in every crevice. A standard cleaning product will not dissolve dried plastic paint on a window without scratching it.
Scraping plaster off a parquet floor without the correct technique leaves permanent marks. That is why attempting it with domestic means often creates more problems than it solves.
Safety and professional equipment
Construction dust contains silica particles, cement and other materials that are harmful if inhaled in large quantities. Our team works with FFP2 masks, HEPA-filtered vacuums and controlled ventilation protocols. What would take one person an entire weekend, our team resolves in a single session with a guaranteed result.
The final investment before moving in
The cost of a professional post-renovation clean is marginal compared to the cost of the renovation itself. If you have invested thousands of euros in renovating an apartment, it makes no sense to risk damaging the new finishes to save on the final clean. It is the last investment before enjoying the result.

Frequently Asked Questions about Post-Renovation Cleaning in Barcelona
It depends on the scope of the renovation. A partial renovation (a bathroom or kitchen) can be done in 3-4 hours. A full renovation of an 80m2 apartment requires 6 to 8 hours, sometimes spread over two sessions. For large commercial spaces, we assess the area and provide a customised quote.
Immediately. We do not use products that require extended ventilation. Once the cleaning is finished, the apartment is ready for you to move in, furnish, or welcome the photographer if it is a holiday rental you plan to list.
We recommend starting once the work is fully completed, including dry paint. If there are minor touch-ups remaining, we can coordinate with your construction team to clean area by area. However, cleaning an apartment where work is still ongoing is not effective because it gets dirty again.
Before we begin, we assess the condition of the apartment and document any pre-existing damage (scratches on floors, permanent stains on surfaces). If during cleaning we find something that cannot be removed without risking damage to the material, we inform you before proceeding. Our civil liability insurance covers any incident during our work.
Yes. Brand-new apartments have the same residue: construction dust, material remnants, stains on glass and sanitary fixtures. In fact, many developers hire us for the handover cleaning of new-build apartments.
Ideally, post-renovation cleaning is done when all construction is complete, including painting and finishes. If paint is recent, we wait until it's completely dry (usually 24-48 hours). We can coordinate directly with your construction team.
Yes. We use specific products and professional tools to remove paint residue on frames and glass, silicone stains, cement and adhesive residue on floors, and plaster dust. If there's damage that can only be repaired (not cleaned), we'll let you know.
Ideally the space is empty or with furniture protected. If furniture is already present, we cover and protect it before starting. Results are better when we can access all surfaces without obstacles. For partial renovations with an inhabited area, we adapt.
