In a workplace in Tepe Mahallesi, Alanya, deciding how desks, files, computers and a shared corridor should be handled can matter more than the floor area alone. CGS Temizlik is headquartered at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D, Kepez/Antalya. Scope can be discussed according to the address and access conditions at 0537 445 01 91.
Matching the cleaning type to the need
Home cleaning covers kitchens, bathrooms and living areas, while vacant-apartment cleaning may focus on cabinet interiors, floors and accessible utilities before a move. Office and workplace cleaning addresses work areas, shared-use points and toilets. Post-construction work separates bulky waste from fine cleaning. Apartment and site cleaning concerns stairs, landings, entrances and shared spaces. Villa cleaning is planned around floors, rooms, stairs and accessible windows; pool maintenance is not included. Upholstery cleaning depends on fabric labels and ventilation, and window cleaning depends on access and surface conditions.
For a workplace-led need, compare the basic scope on the office and workplace cleaning page. For move preparation, see vacant apartment cleaning; for stairs and entrances, see apartment and site cleaning.
Set clear limits around records and electronics
If a desk contains open contracts, folders, personal notes or portable drives, the job needs boundaries before surface cleaning begins. Rather than saying “clean the desks,” specify which desks will be cleared, which cabinets remain closed, and which areas should only be cleaned around.
Document destruction, filing or organising records are not cleaning tasks. Neither is repairing computers, printers, phones or other electronics. The approach to screens, keyboards and device connections should be discussed separately, based on whether equipment is switched off, applicable manufacturer guidance and the customer’s stated touch limits. For cable bundles, areas near sockets and restricted-access spaces such as server areas, state whether only the visible surroundings may be cleaned or whether no intervention is wanted.
Describe workload beyond square metres
Two offices of the same size can require different preparation because of furnishings and use. An open workspace with a few desks is not the same as one with archive boxes, areas beneath chairs, kitchen equipment and frequently used meeting rooms. Instead of providing floor area alone, describe the number of rooms, toilets, kitchen, desk density, cabinet tops, accessible windows and floor types separately.
For example, paint or mortar residue in a post-construction space needs a different assessment from routine cleaning, and surface sensitivity should be considered in advance. With upholstered furniture, labels, fabric type and existing marks matter. With windows, opening method, frame condition and safe access matter. Risky exterior façades or work at height should not be assumed to be part of ordinary window cleaning.
Agree the shared-area boundary with site management
If the workplace is within an apartment building or site, clarify the line between the independent unit and shared areas from the outset. The space outside an office door, corridor, stairs, lift lobby, entrance and toilets may not all fall under the same management arrangement. Separating areas regularly cleaned by management from points the business wants addressed helps avoid overlapping work and expectations.
When wet-floor cleaning is considered, discuss traffic as well: when is entry busiest, which door will staff or visitors use, and which section needs a warning? It is also useful to agree touch limits with management for personal items in shared spaces, noticeboards, security equipment and closed technical areas.
Practical checks before and after the work
- Before: List rooms to be cleaned, excluded areas and access times.
- Records: Remove or clearly mark open papers, keys, cards, drives and personal belongings that must not be touched.
- Electronics: Identify permitted surfaces around equipment and the boundary for cables.
- Shared areas: Separate management responsibilities from areas requested by the business.
- After: Review the agreed rooms, toilets, kitchen, entrance and surfaces together; check the designated waste point.
Should files be removed from desks before cleaning?
Yes. Having the customer remove open records and personal items is the clearest approach. If files cannot be moved, specify in advance which part of the desk surface may be addressed.
Can a shared corridor be added to office cleaning?
First clarify with management whether the corridor is a shared area or part of the business’s use. Scope can then be discussed after access, usage times and wet-floor traffic are considered.
