Decide which furniture stays in place and which surfaces must remain untouched before requesting cleaning. For a furnished home in Alacami, Alanya, Antalya, these decisions matter alongside room count. If balcony, interior glass and floor cleaning are required together, agree on the sequence, temporary furniture placement and access route. Where shared spaces are involved, discuss their use with building management rather than assuming they belong to the household cleaning scope.
Describe tasks around belongings, not just rooms
Home cleaning can cover kitchens, bathrooms and living areas, but cupboard interiors, spaces behind furniture and special surfaces need advance agreement. “Wipe the cleared coffee table; exclude bookshelf interiors; leave the heavy cabinet in place” is more useful than “clean the lounge.” Moving furniture should not be assumed.
If you have wood, natural stone, lacquered or coated surfaces, share their care instructions. Products and methods should suit the material, with a small inconspicuous test where appropriate. Note existing cracks, swelling or marks together beforehand. Store fragile objects, jewellery and personal documents safely; treat disconnecting electronics or cables as a separate decision.
Removing surface dust from seating is different from upholstery cleaning. For washing, discuss the fabric label, existing stains, suitable method and ventilation. Complete stain removal should not be assumed. Plan reuse around checking that the upholstery is dry.
Connect balcony, glass and floor work
If balcony cleaning could carry dirt indoors, plan protection for the threshold and access route. Do not assume generous water use is suitable when drainage is uncertain. Choose where balcony furniture will wait: placing it on a freshly cleaned indoor floor can undo finished work.
- Remove loose dust and debris in a controlled way, working from higher surfaces downwards.
- Complete dirty balcony work while minimising travel through clean indoor areas.
- Clean accessible interior glass and frames, protecting nearby belongings and floors from drips.
- After removing glass-cleaning moisture and residue, finish the indoor floors and manage passage until dry.
Adjust this sequence to actual access. For window cleaning, specify interior panes, frames and reachable sections separately. Do not assume hazardous exterior access or work at height is included.
Separate shared spaces and other cleaning needs
If the property is in a managed building, landings, entrances and stairs require a separate apartment-building or residential-complex cleaning scope. Agree with management on equipment storage, waste removal and passage around wet floors. Keep exits clear.
Empty-apartment cleaning can specify cupboard interiors, kitchen, bathroom and floors before moving in; check water and electricity access. Post-construction cleaning instead requires a distinction between bulk debris removal and detailed cleaning. Remove dust in stages, and assess surface sensitivity before scraping paint or mortar residues.
For villa cleaning, floors, rooms, stairs, glazing and occupancy determine the sequence; pool maintenance is not included. Office and workplace cleaning covers work areas, shared-use spaces and toilets, with explicit limits on handling electronics and documents.
Preparation and handover checks
- Before: Write down included and excluded areas, furniture that stays put, sensitive surfaces and access conditions.
- Prepare: Clear agreed work surfaces and check water, electricity and passageways.
- Afterwards: Review agreed areas together, checking frame edges, thresholds and remaining floor moisture. Replace belongings after surfaces dry.

Is cleaning behind heavy furniture automatic?
No. Agree beforehand whether moving it is appropriate and included. Areas behind furniture that stays in place can be explicitly excluded.
Can dirty balcony water enter the shared corridor?
Do not direct it into the corridor. Identify a suitable disposal point beforehand and discuss any necessary shared-area use with management.
