Builder’s Cleaning Supplies & Equipment – Illawarra, South Coast & Southern Highlands

A builder’s clean is much more demanding than regular cleaning. It often involves heavy dust, plaster, paint spots, silicone, stickers and cement residue. RapidClean Illawarra (Rapid Supplies online) supplies the tools, chemicals and equipment you need to complete post-construction and renovation cleans across the Illawarra, South Coast and Southern Highlands.

What is a builder’s clean?

A builder’s clean (or post-construction clean) prepares a new build or renovation for handover. It usually includes:

• Removing trade dust from floors, walls, ledges and fittings.
• Cleaning windows, frames and tracks.
• Removing labels, stickers and protective films.
• Detail cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms and joinery.
• Final floor cleaning – vacuuming, mopping or machine scrubbing.
