Owners Love To Hate Contractors by Lew Sichelman, Realty Times, TX
There also was a recurring pet peeve that workers failed to clean up after themselves. Mess and dust were everywhere, people complained, suggesting overwhelmingly that workers should wear gloves, shoe mitts and disposable overalls, and provide their own clean-up products.
Now most contractors use drop clothes, but the folks taking part in this survey said it would be good if workers also provided pre-moistened hand wipes and disposable towels that remove dirt, dust and paint.
Trying to turn a big, burly construction worker into a clean freak may be stretching it a bit. But then again, the survey was done on behalf of Kimberly-Clark's SCOTT Rags in a Box, so that's probably why respondents were even asked if they spend all their time cleaning up after the workers leave for the day.
