Post-painting cleaning in Bratislava

Post-painting cleaning in Bratislava from €1.50 per m². Sanding dust, paint spatter on floors, windows, handles and switches, and the adhesive left by masking tape — the work that painters do not do and that a normal clean is not equipped for.

Why sanding dust behaves differently

Dust from sanded filler is fine and electrostatic: it clings to vertical surfaces as readily as horizontal ones, and a household vacuum clogs its filter within minutes and blows most of it back into the room. So it is not swept. You work top to bottom with an industrial vacuum and a fine-dust filter, and only then wash.

Order matters more than product. Ceiling edges, light fittings and the tops of wardrobes first, then vertical surfaces and door frames, then sills and radiators, and floors last — twice, because the first pass only spreads the dust around. Start with the floor and the whole job is done twice.

Paint on glass and floors

Fresh emulsion comes off glass with warm water and detergent; dried paint is scraped with a blade at a shallow angle on wet glass — dry scraping scratches it. On uPVC frames use a plastic scraper, never metal and never solvent, which leaves the plastic permanently dull.

On laminate and vinyl, spatter lifts with a damp cloth immediately and carefully with a plastic card once dry. On varnished parquet the usual rule inverts: the less water and the less pressure, the better — a scratched lacquer is a worse problem than a paint mark. On porous surfaces such as untreated wood, raw concrete or matt stone we tell you in advance what is realistically achievable.

Walls after painting

Usually nothing at all. Fresh emulsion needs several weeks to cure fully, and wiping it with a damp cloth in that window leaves shiny patches that cannot be evened out afterwards. Dust comes off walls dry — microfibre or a vacuum with a soft brush.

Washable and latex paints and the tiling in kitchens and bathrooms are the exception and take damp wiping normally. If you do not know which paint is on the wall, ask the painters — it is the one thing worth asking them at handover.

Masking tape residue

Tape on window frames and skirting leaves adhesive that bakes on in sunlight within days and will not shift with detergent. It comes off with heat and a plastic scraper, not with an aggressive solvent that would damage matt plastic. The sooner the tape is removed after painting, the less work this is.

When to book

A day or two after the painters leave. Fine dust keeps settling for several days, so cleaning immediately after they finish means doing it again. If the last stage was sanding filler, wait the full two days.

How the price is calculated

By area, from €1.50 per m². Window cleaning after painting is a separate item at €15 because the glass has to be scraped rather than wiped — it is different work from ordinary window cleaning.

Painting or full renovation

If only painting was done, this is the right page. If anything was cut, demolished or tiled, mineral dust, adhesive and mortar are added to the picture and the job is post-renovation cleaning — a different procedure and different equipment.
