When a flat handover is approaching in Selimiye, Döşemealtı, the cleaning plan is not only about which rooms will be cleaned. Who holds the keys, how the team can enter, whether kitchen cabinets are empty, and which surfaces must not be touched in a furnished home should be clarified in advance. CGS Temizlik is based 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 0191.
Choosing the service and defining its limits
Home cleaning may cover kitchens, bathrooms and living areas with methods suited to the surfaces involved. Empty-flat cleaning focuses on cabinet interiors, floors, kitchens and bathrooms before a move. Offices and workplaces need separate limits for electronics and documents. Post-construction work distinguishes bulky waste from fine dust. Apartment and site work addresses shared areas and movement around wet floors; villa work considers floors, rooms, stairs and accessible windows. Upholstery cleaning depends on fabric labels and ventilation, while window cleaning depends on access. For fuller descriptions, see home cleaning, empty-flat cleaning and window cleaning.
Keys and access: the essential handover record
For an empty-flat handover, it is useful to identify in writing who releases the key, who receives it back and when this will happen. Any permissions needed for the entrance, lift or security desk, as well as the availability of water and electricity, should be shared beforehand. If a key is to be left with a building attendant, neighbour or another person, that person’s authority and availability should be clear.
A brief record of the starting condition can also help: closed rooms, visible damage, parts that must not be removed, and belongings awaiting removal. At the end, the recipient, location and number of keys returned can be checked with the same care.
Cabinet interiors and exterior surfaces are different tasks
Cleaning inside cabinets requires a decision about emptying shelves and handling any remaining food or personal items. If the client wants cabinets handed over empty, removing those contents before cleaning is practical. Exterior cleaning should be described separately: doors, handles, visible side panels and, where accessible, top surfaces.
On matt, glossy, lacquered, wood-effect or coated finishes, no method should be assumed suitable without the manufacturer’s care instructions. The cause of a stain, scratch or coating change cannot be diagnosed with certainty from a distance; existing marks may require professional assessment. Access to cabinet tops, around built-in appliances and behind a refrigerator should also be discussed separately.
Protection choices in a furnished home
In a furnished property, separate the cleaning area from belongings that should not be handled. Fragile objects, artwork, sensitive electronics, exposed papers and personal possessions can be left untouched where no permission to move them has been given. If work on a sofa, rug or curtain is being considered, material information, care labels and ventilation conditions should be reviewed in advance.
A surface list is useful for natural stone, wood, plated metal, mirrored finishes and specially painted walls. Rather than relying on informal home tests to decide whether marks on glass are on one side or the other, record the condition and seek appropriate assessment where needed.
Practical preparation and handover checks
- List the rooms to be cleaned, closed areas and order of priority.
- Confirm keys, entry permission, and water and electricity access.
- State separately whether cabinet interiors will be emptied.
- Identify delicate surfaces, belongings and no-touch areas.
- At the end, check bathrooms, kitchen, cabinet interiors, floors and key return together.
What should be agreed if cabinet interiors are not empty?
Clarify whether the client will remove the contents, which shelves are included, and whether personal items may be handled. This keeps interior cabinet work distinct from exterior surface cleaning.
Who should receive the key on cleaning day?
The authorised person for releasing and receiving the key, their contact details and the handover method should be agreed clearly. A communication step for any entry or exit issue can also be shared in advance.
