Do workers ever clean up or hose down subway station walls?

I ask this because, at the 96th/Broadway station, the ongoing renovation has been moving at a snail's pace on the platforms. The new white tiles (why can't they just put up pre-made "blocks" of wall like in those late '90's IND renovations?), which have been placed directly over the old '50's-'60's extension tiles, have been up for well over a year now, but they've yet to add the finishing touches to it. Most notably, the tiles are already dirty as hell as if they've been up for 5-10 years, and they haven't even finished on the platform!

I'm just wondering if workers bother to clean that up, when the renovation's done or something. Reminds me of recent renovations (IND Columbus Circle, PABT stations) where the new tiling started failing quick. I'm anxious to see what the IRT Columbus Circle renovation's going to look like when its done. That one's taken ages too, but it looks REALLY nice so far.
