DHS 163.14(11)(L)1.1. Verify that each windowsill in the work area has been adequately cleaned by wiping the windowsill with an unused wet disposable cleaning cloth that is damp to the touch and comparing the cleaning cloth to the cleaning verification card. DHS 163.14(11)(L)1.a.a. If the cleaning cloth matches or is lighter than the cleaning verification card, the windowsill has been adequately cleaned. DHS 163.14(11)(L)1.b.b. If the cleaning cloth is darker than the cleaning verification card, the windowsill has not been adequately cleaned and re-cleaning following the procedures in par. (j) 3. is required. After re-cleaning, either use a new cleaning cloth or fold the used cloth in such a way that an unused surface is exposed and wipe the surface again. If the cleaning cloth matches or is lighter than the cleaning verification card, the windowsill has been adequately cleaned. DHS 163.14(11)(L)1.c.c. If the cleaning cloth is still darker than the cleaning verification card, wait one hour or until the surface has dried completely, whichever is longer. DHS 163.14(11)(L)1.d.d. After waiting for the windowsill to dry, wipe the sill with a dry disposable cleaning cloth. After this wipe, the windowsill has been adequately cleaned. DHS 163.14(11)(L)2.2. Verify that uncarpeted floors and countertops within the work area have been adequately cleaned by wiping the floors and countertops with an unused wet disposable cleaning cloth. Floors shall be wiped using a long-handled mop designed with a head attachment for wet disposable cleaning cloths. The cleaning cloth shall remain damp at all times while it is being used to wipe the surface for post-activity cleaning verification. If the surface within the work area is larger than 40 square feet, the surface within the work area shall be divided into roughly equal sections that are each less than 40 square feet. Wipe each section separately with a new wet disposable cleaning cloth. DHS 163.14(11)(L)2.a.a. If the cloth used to wipe that section within the work area matches the cleaning verification card, that section has been adequately cleaned. DHS 163.14(11)(L)2.b.b. If the cleaning cloth used to wipe a particular section is darker than the cleaning verification card, that section has not been adequately cleaned and re-cleaning following the procedures in par. (j) 3. is required. After re-cleaning, use a new cleaning cloth and wipe that section again. If the cleaning cloth matches or is lighter than the cleaning verification card, that section of the surface has been adequately cleaned. DHS 163.14(11)(L)2.c.c. If the cleaning cloth used to wipe a particular surface section is still darker than the cleaning verification card after the surface has been re-cleaned, wait for one hour or until the entire section surface has dried completely, whichever is longer. DHS 163.14(11)(L)2.d.d. After waiting for the entire section surface to dry, wipe the surface with a dry disposable cleaning cloth. After this wipe, that section of the surface has been adequately cleaned. DHS 163.14(11)(L)3.3. When the work area passes the post-renovation cleaning verification, warning signs may be removed. DHS 163.14(11)(m)1.1. Cleaning verification under par.

DHS 163.14 (5) (c) 8. DHS 163.14(11)(n)(n) Activities conducted after successful cleaning verification or clearance testing. Activities that do not disturb paint, such as re-painting walls that have been properly prepared, are not regulated under this subchapter if they are conducted after cleaning verification has been performed or clearance testing results show dust lead levels below the clearances standards in s. DHS 163.14 (5) (c) 8. DHS 163.14(11)(o)1.1. Emergency renovations are exempt from the warning sign, containment, waste handling, training and certification requirements of this chapter to the extent necessary to respond to the emergency.
