In Kuzyaka, Alanya, two homes with the same floor area can involve very different cleaning workloads. One may be empty with a key ready for access; another may be furnished, have restricted entry, or need detailed checks before handover. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd No109/D, Kepez/Antalya. Scope can be discussed according to the address and access conditions by calling 0537 445 0191.
What square metres do not show
Floor area is useful starting information, but it does not define the whole job. The number of rooms, whether cabinet interiors are included, build-up in kitchens and bathrooms, accessible windows, stairs, areas around furniture, and the availability of water and electricity all affect the sequence of work. After construction, bulky debris, fine dust, and paint or mortar residue need to be considered separately. On sensitive surfaces, forcing residue off may not be appropriate.
Describe the request by naming the included areas rather than simply asking for a general clean. For an empty home, that may mean cabinet interiors, kitchen, bathroom, and floors. In a furnished home, it may mean reachable surfaces, areas around items, and specifically identified rooms. The empty apartment cleaning page can help clarify a pre-move scope.
Separating services that can overlap
Home cleaning concerns kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas with methods appropriate to the surface. In offices and workplaces, limits around electronics and documents should be agreed in advance. Apartment and site cleaning covers stairs, landings, entrances, and shared areas; villa cleaning can be arranged around floors, rooms, stairs, windows, and how the property is being used. Pool maintenance is not part of villa cleaning.
For upholstery washing, the fabric label and suitable method matter; stain removal should not be assumed. Window cleaning is assessed around accessible glass, frames, and surface conditions. Rather than making assumptions about risky exterior work or work at height, share the actual conditions. When planning window cleaning, explain not only the number of windows but also how they open and whether access is safe.
Keys and access responsibility at handover
For an empty-apartment handover, cleaning is only one part of the arrangement. It also helps to establish who holds the key, when entry is possible, and who receives the key when work is complete. If the key is with a building attendant, owner, tenant, or another person, set out the collection and return point and the contact person clearly. Possible waiting time for a door, lift, shared entrance, or entry to the apartment can affect the work plan.
Check water and electricity beforehand as well. A disconnected supply, non-working socket, or lack of water may affect certain cleaning steps. Confirm whether cabinets have been emptied, which items will remain in the property, and which areas must not be touched.
A window mark or existing damage?
Not every mark noticed after window cleaning is caused by cleaning. Dried water spots, wiping residue, or dirt transferred from a frame are different from scratches, cracks, film issues, surface wear, or marks related to seals. Lines visible only at a certain angle of light are especially worth checking separately on the inside and outside of the glass.
Before work, note visible cracks, breaks, deep scratches, loose frames, or conditions that make access difficult. Afterwards, look at the glass from different angles and distinguish removable residue from a physical change in the surface. If damage is suspected, repeatedly working the same area is less useful than assessing the condition first.
Practical preparation and check list
- Areas: List rooms, cabinets, windows, or shared areas that are included and excluded.
- Access: Share key arrangements, entry time, contact person, and water and electricity status.
- Surfaces: Mention marble, wood, delicate finishes, fabric labels, and visible damage beforehand.
- Handover: Agree who will receive the key and carry out the final check.
- Window check: Review marks by inside/outside surface and light angle; separate existing scratches at the start.
What should be shared if an empty apartment key is with a neighbour?
Confirm the neighbour’s name and contact details, the time for collecting and returning the key, the information needed to enter the apartment, and who will be present for the final check.
How can I tell whether a line on glass is a cleaning mark?
If it changes or disappears in different light, or follows the wiping direction, it may be residue. If the line stays fixed on the surface, catches a fingernail, or looks like a crack, possible physical damage should be assessed separately.
