Construction and renovation projects often leave behind a significant amount of dust, debris, and waste. While cleaning is a necessary final step, it doesn’t have to come at the cost of the environment. At Kejani Cleaning Services LImited, we specialize in eco-friendly post-construction cleaning methods that are not only effective but also sustainable and safe for occupants.

In this post, we’ll explore what eco-friendly cleaning entails, why it matters, and how you can embrace green practices during post-construction cleanup in Kenya.

Why Eco-Friendly Cleaning Matters After Construction

Post-construction debris includes fine dust, paint residues, adhesives, chemical solvents, and various other pollutants. Traditional cleaning often relies on harsh chemicals that:

• Contaminate water systems

• Irritate the skin and respiratory system

• Leave behind toxic fumes

• Harm the surrounding flora and fauna

By using green cleaning products and sustainable methods, we protect both your health and the environment while still delivering exceptional results.

Benefits of Eco-Friendly Post-Construction Cleaning

✅ Improved Indoor Air Quality
Eco-friendly cleaners release fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing the risk of asthma and allergic reactions.

✅ Safe for Occupants & Pets
Non-toxic cleaning products are especially important in homes, schools, hospitals, and office spaces where people spend extended time.

✅ Environmentally Sustainable
Green cleaning reduces pollution, conserves water, and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with construction projects.

✅ Promotes a Positive Brand Image
For commercial spaces, using sustainable cleaning practices showcases your company’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

Top Eco-Friendly Post Construction Cleaning Methods

1. Use of Natural Cleaning Agents

Instead of chemical-based solutions, we use:

• Vinegar for dissolving cement or grout haze on tiles and windows

• Baking soda for deodorizing and scrubbing surfaces

• Lemon juice for cutting grease or removing sticky residue

• Castile soap (plant-based) for general surface cleaning

These are biodegradable, effective, and readily available in Kenya.

2. HEPA Filter Vacuums

Construction dust contains fine particles like silica and drywall powder. Standard vacuums often recirculate this dust into the air. We use HEPA-filter vacuums that trap 99.97% of airborne particles, ensuring thorough and safe cleaning.

3. Reusable Microfiber Cloths and Mops

Rather than using disposable paper towels or cheap mop heads, we utilize high-quality microfiber cloths that:

• Trap dust better

• Require less water

• Last longer (reducing waste)

• Clean effectively without chemicals

4. Low-Water Cleaning Techniques

Water is a precious resource. Our cleaning team uses:

• Damp dusting (instead of spraying)

• Steam cleaning where possible

• Buckets with measuring marks to prevent water overuse

• Flat mops to reduce rinse water waste

5. Eco-Friendly Paint and Adhesive Removal

For cleaning up paint drips or adhesives:

• We use citrus-based solvents or bio-solvents

• We avoid turpentine or petroleum-based removers

• In cases of stubborn stains, manual scraping with plastic tools ensures no damage and no chemical runoff

6. Proper Waste Segregation and Disposal

Post-construction cleanup often involves waste management. Our green approach includes:

• Separating recyclable materials like glass, cardboard, and metal

• Safe disposal of non-recyclables like insulation or treated wood

• Donating unused materials to local projects or NGOs when possible

7. Green Certified Cleaning Products

We prioritize using cleaning agents that are:

• Non-toxic

• Biodegradable

• Free from phosphates, chlorine, and artificial fragrances

• Certified by eco-labels such as EcoLogo or Green Seal
