DHS 163.14 NoteNote: For documented methodologies for cleaning, refer to the current edition of the HUD “Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing,” available at https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/healthy_homes/lbp/hudguidelines.

DHS 163.14(11)(k)1.1. A visual inspection of the work area or areas shall be conducted by a certified lead-safe renovator or certified lead abatement worker or supervisor who meets the training requirements under s. DHS 163.11 (2) (c) after renovation activities and cleaning have been completed.

DHS 163.14(11)(k)2.2. For interior renovation activities, a visual inspection shall be performed to determine whether dust, debris or residue is still present in or around the work areas. If dust, debris or residue is present, these conditions shall be removed by re-cleaning and another visual inspection shall be performed.

DHS 163.14(11)(k)3.3. For exterior renovation activities, a visual inspection shall be performed to determine whether dust, debris or residue is still present on surfaces in and below the work area, including windowsills and the ground. If dust, debris or residue is present, these conditions shall be eliminated and another visual inspection shall be performed. After the work area or areas pass visual inspection, the activity is considered complete and warning signs may be removed.

DHS 163.14(11)(L)(L) Post renovation cleaning verification for interior work areas. Except as allowed under par. (m), after a successful visual inspection, a certified lead-safe renovator or certified lead abatement worker or supervisor who meets the training requirements under s. DHS 163.11 (2) (c) shall verify cleaning of all interior work areas by using all of the following procedures:

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.
