When arranging cleaning in Bayındır Mahallesi, Elmalı, Antalya, two properties with the same floor area can require very different work. One may be an occupied flat with clear access, while another may be empty before a move and include cabinet interiors and accumulated detail work. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D, Kepez/Antalya. Scope is discussed according to the address and access conditions. Phone: 0537 445 0191.
Home, office and workplace, post-construction, empty-flat, apartment/site, villa, upholstery and window cleaning address different needs. Home cleaning covers living areas; post-construction cleaning separates bulky debris from fine dust; and window cleaning considers accessible glass and frames. Villas also require attention to floors and stairs, shared-building work to safe passage in common areas, and offices to boundaries around electronics and documents.
Why floor area is not enough
Floor area indicates the size of the general space, but it does not alone define the workload or order of work. The number of rooms, bathrooms and kitchens; whether cabinet interiors are included; furniture density; stairs; accessible windows; long-unused areas; and the need to clear space before cleaning should all be discussed.
An empty flat may have fewer furniture obstacles, yet cabinet interiors, kitchen residue, or water and electricity access can change the scope. In an occupied home, clarify whether furniture should be moved or simply cleaned around. For upholstery, the fabric label, location of the stain and ventilation options matter. For windows, access, frame condition and working height can matter more than square metres.
How to describe special requests clearly
Instead of saying “deep cleaning,” name the area and the expected task. Useful notes include: “kitchen exteriors and cabinet interiors included,” “accessible interior windows only,” “the shower enclosure area is the priority,” or “clean around office desks, with no contact with computers or documents.” This makes the requested scope more concrete.
- List areas to be cleaned and areas to be excluded separately.
- State the boundaries for movable items, locked cabinets, documents, electronic devices and personal belongings.
- For post-construction work, say whether bulky debris has been removed and identify visible paint, mortar or silicone residue.
- For common areas, plan how people will pass through wet floors with the building management or users.
Identify bathroom materials before choosing a product
Bathroom surfaces may include ceramic, natural stone, glass, metal finishes, acrylic, composite materials and different grout types. Similar-looking surfaces can need different care. If manufacturer care instructions are available, sharing them is especially helpful for coated or specialised surfaces. When the material is unknown, identifying the surface before selecting a product is a sound starting point.
Dulling, discolouration, scratches, mineral deposits and residue cannot be diagnosed with certainty from appearance alone. Distinguishing a scratch, stain or coating issue may require professional assessment. Mention any suspected existing damage in advance rather than assuming a strong treatment is appropriate. It also helps to state expectations separately for shower glass, fittings, stone-look counters and grout.
A practical before-and-after checklist
- Confirm entry, water, electricity and access to the areas involved.
- Write down priority spaces, excluded belongings and special surfaces.
- Flag sensitive points such as windows, upholstery, electronics, documents, coatings and construction residue.
- Afterward, check rooms in order against the agreed scope: cabinet interiors, floor edges, bathroom surfaces and accessible windows.
- Share any concern by naming the specific area and what appears different or incomplete.
What should I mention about marks on a shower enclosure?
State whether the surface is glass, coated glass or another material, where the marks are, how widespread they are, and whether care instructions are known. Request an assessment without assuming a cause or outcome.
Are cabinet interiors automatically included in floor area?
Not necessarily. Naming cabinet interiors, shelves, drawers and any areas that need emptying helps define the workload more accurately.
