Experienced house cleaners. What's the best way to clean sheet rock dust off newly painted walls?

I have a 1200 sq. ft. house to clean - new carpet and sheet rock dust everywhere. I plan on charging $600 to clean the house and I am wondering if that is a fair bid. 3 workers, 3 days of cleaning on a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, living room and dining room house on a lake. Work is hard to come by in West Tennessee and even though my 2 friends and I are hard workers, we don't have any experience at bidding a cleaning job like this one. It's a complete remodeling cleanup job. Any suggestions from experienced cleaners will be appreciated.Experienced house cleaners. What's the best way to clean sheet rock dust off newly painted walls?
The price is fine to me. I am from Texas and my brother builds and I have cleaned his houses before. Try using the Swiffer duster. It really gets the dust and dirt but is gentle to the paint. If you rub on it you may scratch up the paint job! Best wishes!Experienced house cleaners. What's the best way to clean sheet rock dust off newly painted walls?
You could try all-purpose cleaner like Mr. Clean.


Dish soap would work.





$600 sounds reasonable to me, but I have no experience or anything.
Hard to imagine why there would be sheet rock dust everywhere, but if there is a lot you can vacuum up excessive amounts and clean up the rest with a damp (not wet) sponge. Sheet rock dust is water soluble. Plain water will work just fine on this, you do not need to add any soap.
Strong vaccum followed by damp rag.
invest in a lambswool duster%26amp; endust.vacum, the first day %26amp; dust everything--the most important thing to know is not to get all the dust the first day-you will have to dust wall.etc everyday, because it will continue to get in the air %26amp; settle-so don`t put a lot of effort in it each day.after 2 days clean it well.use the duster misted with endust,over walls,clean your duster with warm water at night,shake %26amp; let dry, same goes for windows, lightly clean everything, the dust is the hardest in windows, wash with water 1st 2 days on 3rd shine it up. trust me on this,i learned from my mistake on the windows. i cleaned it with window cleaner, for about an hour- went back to see it just streaked because of all the dust,acouple of days later.also, get some goo gone for the window stickers.get some microstatic cloths-they are great!on the 1st 2 days concentrate on the trash %26amp; stuff stickers. make it shine on the last- it won`t be that hard if you`ve followed this.yeah sounds fair to me! it`s not gonna be that hard.
