In Ayanlar, Döşemealtı, two homes described as “empty flats” can require very different cleaning preparation. One may have renovation dust and require a key handover, while another may only need everyday dirt addressed before a move. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi, 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D, Kepez/Antalya. The scope is discussed according to the address and access conditions. Contact: 0537 445 01 91.
Home, empty-flat, villa and upholstery cleaning are planned around how a living space is used. Office and workplace cleaning, as well as apartment and site cleaning, have different considerations for shared areas, documents and foot traffic. Post-construction cleaning separates bulky debris from fine dust, while window cleaning depends on accessible glass, frames and surface conditions.
Keys, access and responsibility at flat handover
Even when a flat is empty, decide who holds the key, how entry will be arranged and who will receive the key at the end of the work. If there is more than one key, clarify which one is to be used and whether separate access is needed for the building entrance, flat, storage area or balcony. Rather than leaving a key at the door, agree on the handover method and receiving person in advance.
Water and electricity availability can also affect the scope. For empty-flat cleaning, where cupboard interiors, bathrooms, kitchens and floors may be included, access times and the limits of accessible areas can be recorded beforehand. If scratches, coating loss or marks that may be permanent are noticed before handover, it is more useful to note their existing condition than to make a definite claim about their cause.
Separate renovation dust from everyday dirt
Fine dust left after renovation work can reappear around window edges, inside cupboards, along skirting boards, near radiators and at floor joints. Paint, mortar or silicone residue cannot be treated with one method on every surface. When manufacturer care instructions are unknown, choosing a method for coatings, natural stone, glossy finishes or delicate metal requires care. These details should be described separately within post-construction cleaning.
Everyday dirt may include use-related dust, kitchen grease, bathroom buildup and dirty floors. Stating that there is no renovation residue helps prevent the work from being assessed under the wrong scope. Whether bulky debris is present should also be mentioned, because debris removal and fine cleaning are not the same task.
Set protection boundaries in furnished homes
For a furnished home, the plan should cover not only which rooms are to be cleaned but also which items should not be handled. You can identify fragile objects, electronic devices, exposed documents, valuables and surfaces requiring special care. In offices, defining limits around electronics and documents is particularly important.
For upholstery, share fabric-label information, care instructions and details of existing marks. With upholstery cleaning, fabric suitability and ventilation conditions are considered; the result for a stain cannot be fixed in advance. Marks, scratches or possible coating issues on glass may also need professional assessment. Accessible glass can be discussed separately under window cleaning.
Practical checks before and after the work
- Before: Confirm the address, entry time, key handover, contact person, and water and electricity access.
- Scope: List rooms, cupboard interiors, balconies, windows, upholstery, shared areas and any bulky debris separately.
- Protection: Identify items, documents, electronics and delicate surfaces that should not be handled.
- After: Arrange the key return, check that doors and windows are closed, and review the agreed areas.
Does the owner need to be present for key handover?
There is no single arrangement for every situation. Who gives and receives the key, and who is responsible for access, should be agreed before the work begins.
Can marks on glass after renovation be cleaned?
Without assessing the surface, it is not possible to determine whether a mark is paint, mortar, a scratch or a coating issue. Access and surface conditions should be stated during the scope discussion.
