Common Mistakes in Post-Construction Villa Cleaning in Sharjah – Complete Guide by T CLEANING
After completing final finishing work in new villas, many residents in Sharjah find that the villa is not ready to move in due to the accumulation of heavy dust, white cement residue, paint stains, silicone, and various construction materials. At this point, some people make major mistakes while trying to clean the villa themselves, which leads to floor damage, scratches, or stubborn stains that become difficult or impossible to remove.
In this article, we highlight the most common mistakes in post-construction villa cleaning in Sharjah, how to avoid them, and the correct cleaning approach to ensure your villa becomes truly move-in ready.

1. Using Sharp Tools to Remove White Cement
One of the most damaging mistakes for ceramic and porcelain tiles is using:
- Sharp knives
- Metal screwdrivers
- Heavy metal scrapers
These tools leave permanent scratches that cannot be repaired, even with polishing products, especially on glossy tiles.
The correct method: Use specialized chemical removers + a scrubber machine + soft brushes designed for this purpose.
2. Using Strong Acidic Cleaning Products
Many people use household products such as:
- Vinegar
- Lemon
- Concentrated bleach
- Strong acidic chemicals from hardware shops
These products can cause:
- Damage to the glossy layer of tiles
- Color fading
- Yellow stains that are hard to remove
The solution: Use only safe products specifically designed for post-construction cleaning.
3. Cleaning Glass Before Removing Dust
This is a very serious mistake. When glass is wiped while dust is still on it, the rough dust particles act like sandpaper and create visible scratches.
The correct method:
- Remove dust first with a soft duster
- Use water only in the beginning
- Apply glass cleaner after dust removal
- Dry using a rubber squeegee
4. Trying to Remove Silicone by Hand
Silicone is a strong adhesive, and many people try to remove it using:
- Fingernails
- Metal tools
- Unsuitable degreasers
The result is usually:
- Scratched glass
- Damaged sink edges
- Visible silicone residue
The correct method: Use dedicated silicone removal tools and safe dissolving products.
5. Cleaning Kitchens and Bathrooms Superficially
Most people don’t realize that construction residue accumulates inside:
- Cabinets
- Drawers
- Tile joints
- The back edges behind sinks
These residues cause bad odors within days of moving in. Every part must be cleaned carefully and in detail.
6. Leaving Dust on Ceilings and Upper Corners
A common mistake is leaving dust on:
- Door tops
- Wall corners
- Upper cornices
- Frames and ledges
Dust falls back onto the floors after cleaning, causing the villa to become messy again.
7. Using Excessive Water Indoors
This is a dangerous mistake because it leads to:
- Water leaking under tiles
- Strong damp smells developing later
- Mud-like layers forming on floors
The solution: Water should be used carefully and in controlled amounts, followed by proper drying.
8. Trying to Clean Without Professional Equipment
Post-construction cleaning is not regular cleaning. You cannot deal with cement, paint, or heavy dust without equipment such as:
- Industrial vacuum cleaners
- Scrubber machines
- Silicone removal tools
- Professional glass cleaning tools
Many people end up exhausted and still without real results.
