Before moving into an empty flat in Büyükkum, Demre, you may want kitchen cabinet interiors, bathrooms, floors and windows addressed before boxes arrive. The order of work can change depending on whether the property is empty or furnished, whether water and electricity are available, whether renovation residue is present, and which areas matter most to you. Defining those details early helps create a clearer cleaning scope.
Why the work order matters before moving in
In an empty flat, cleaning is often planned from higher surfaces downward, moving from dry dust removal to wet cleaning. Cabinet interiors, shelves, door tops and accessible surfaces may be addressed before the kitchen, bathroom, floors and accessible windows. If there is paint or renovation residue, mention it from the outset, as it may require a different preparation from regular home cleaning.
List the areas you want completed before belongings arrive: for example, cabinet interiors only, the shower area, the area around the toilet, skirting boards or a balcony-door frame. Rather than assuming the cause of a scratch, stain or coating issue, share the surface type and any known care information. Where manufacturer care instructions are unavailable, the method should be assessed according to the surface condition.
An empty property and a furnished one involve different work
In an empty flat, cabinet interiors, floor edges and room transitions may be more open. In a furnished home, the limits around furniture, delicate belongings, personal items and the areas to be cleaned need to be discussed separately. In offices and workplaces, boundaries for electronics and documents should also be set; document organisation, destruction and electronic repair are not cleaning tasks.
Depending on the need, empty-flat cleaning, home cleaning and post-construction cleaning have different scopes. Office and workplace cleaning, apartment and site cleaning, villa cleaning, upholstery cleaning and window cleaning are also assessed separately based on use, access and surface conditions. For villas, floors, stairs and windows matter; for common areas, stairs, landings and entrances; for upholstery, fabric labels; and for windows, safe access.
Make special requests easy to understand
Instead of saying “deep cleaning,” describe the work by area and surface. A useful list might read: “Kitchen upper-cabinet interiors, extractor surroundings and worktop; bathroom shower enclosure, grout and under-sink area; living room floor and skirting boards.” Add any products that should not be used, sensitive stone or wood finishes, and any areas that should be left untouched.
For windows, state which panes are accessible, whether frames are included and what exterior access is available. Risky exterior façade work or work at height should not be assumed as part of standard window cleaning. For upholstery cleaning, provide fabric-label information, existing stains and ventilation conditions. Results for stains can vary with the fabric and surface condition.
Practical preparation and final check list
- Check whether water and electricity can be used.
- Clarify key handover, entry time and access conditions in advance.
- Separate moving boxes, personal belongings and items outside the cleaning scope.
- State whether renovation waste, packaging or bulky debris is present; this differs from fine cleaning.
- At the end, review cabinet interiors, bathroom fittings, floor transitions, windows and agreed special areas together.
- Consider safe passage arrangements where common-area floors remain wet.
