Bathroom post-construction cleaning in Tokyo
Cleaning of new and renovated bathrooms before handover, from the tub and tiles to mirrors and fittings.
Why a new bathroom is not clean
Installers cut, drill and seal inside a space that is only a few square metres, so everything lands on the same surfaces. Plastic wrap protects the tub and the panels, but dust gets under the edges, and the finishing touches, such as silicone along the tub and around the door frame, leave smears on the glass and the tile. A short wipe does not solve this. A bathroom needs a proper sequence from the ceiling to the drain.
Unit bath or tiled bathroom
Many Tokyo homes use a prefabricated unit bath, where the walls, floor and tub are factory panels with a smooth surface. Others have a tiled bathroom with grout lines, which holds fine dust. We adjust the method: for panels, a soft cloth and a gentle product that will not dull the finish; for tile, a brush on the grout lines and a rinse. Tell us which type you have, and a photo of the room helps us plan.
Protective film, tape and stickers
New tubs, mirrors, panels and metal fittings often ship with protective film or tape, and some carry model stickers. We remove the film, curing tape and labels that you want removed, bag them, and clean the surface underneath. On a mirror or a glossy panel we take care with the adhesive, and if a label cannot be removed without risk to the finish, we tell you rather than force it.
Fresh sealant and light paint marks
Silicone smudges that are still soft, or light paint splatter on glass, tile and fixtures, can often be wiped with a surface-safe method. Sealant that has already cured is part of the joint and we do not cut or scrape it. We do not remove cured paint or adhesive damage, and we do not promise to restore a surface that was marked during the build. If we find such a mark we photograph it and add it to the report for the installer.
Mirror, taps, shower and fittings
The mirror and any glass screen are cleaned to a streak-free finish, the taps, shower head, hose, holder and towel rail are wiped and dried, and shelves and soap holders are cleaned inside and out. Fittings are often handled with dusty gloves during installation, so fingerprints are common. We check the shower head and the spout for debris and run the water briefly where the site allows, so that loose particles do not appear at the first shower.
Drain, door and ventilation
We clear loose debris from the floor drain and its cover by hand, clean the door frame, the door and its seals, and wipe the visible ventilation cover or grille on the surface. We do not clean inside ducts, and we do not open drainage pipework. If the drain is blocked by building material, that is a matter for the plumber, and we say so in the photo report.
Washroom and changing area
In most Tokyo homes the bathroom adjoins a washroom with a basin and a washing-machine space. When you want them cleaned in the same visit, we add the basin, mirror cabinet, the floor of the changing area and the wall around them to the quote, so that the whole wet area is handed over in one condition. Toilets are quoted on their own page or together with the project.
What we do not offer
We do not remove limescale that has bonded to the surface over the years, because a newly built bathroom does not have it. We do not repair chips, scratches or cracks, re-seal joints, or apply coatings. If something like that is wrong, we tell you plainly, and the bathroom contractor is the right person to fix it.
Condensation, odour and the first use
A freshly built bathroom is often closed for a while, so the air inside is stale. We open the door and any window, run the ventilation fan where it is connected, and leave the room dry rather than wet, because standing water on a new surface invites marks. If the bathroom will not be used for some time after our visit, we suggest leaving the door ajar. These are simple steps, but they keep the clean looking right when the buyer arrives.
Price and planning
Bathroom post-construction cleaning is quoted per project at a fixed price, from plans, floor area, photos or a site look, before the work. Send photos of the room, the type of bathroom and tell us if other rooms are included. The price is confirmed by message before the visit. A single bathroom is usually handled by one cleaner with a supervisor, and a block of bathrooms in a residential building or hotel by a team sized to the project.
After the visit and where we work
The photo report shows the tub, walls, mirror, fittings and drain. If something was missed and reported within 24 hours with a photo, we clean it again at no extra cost. Standard visits are between 9:00 and 17:00, out-of-hours by agreement. We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, with travel cost stated before booking outside the 23 wards. We bring all products and equipment.
