When a vacant flat in Büyüksöğle, Elmalı is nearing handover, calling the need “general cleaning” can leave important details unresolved. Who holds the key, who can provide access, whether renovation work is actually finished, and whether a mark on glass is soil or a surface issue all affect the scope and sequence of work. 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 by calling 0537 445 01 91.
Match the cleaning type to the condition of the property
Home cleaning covers kitchens, bathrooms and living areas with methods appropriate to the surface. Vacant-flat cleaning may require separate attention to cupboard interiors, floors, kitchens and bathrooms before moving; water and electricity access matter. Post-construction cleaning distinguishes removal of bulky waste from detailed dust cleaning.
Office and workplace cleaning addresses workspaces, shared areas and toilets, while boundaries around electronics and documents should be set in advance. Apartment and site cleaning focuses on stairs, landings, entrances and common areas, including arrangements for passing on wet floors. Villa cleaning is planned around floors, rooms, stairs, windows and use of the property; pool maintenance is not included. Upholstery cleaning depends on the fabric label and a suitable method. Window cleaning depends on accessible glass, frames and surface conditions.
Make key and access responsibility explicit
If a key will be left for a flat handover, identify in writing who gives the key, who receives it, and when. Where there are multiple keys, remotes or entry cards, recording the quantities can prevent confusion. Access information for the building entrance and the flat should be available, and it can be decided in advance whether an owner, tenant, agent or authorised person will attend.
For a vacant property, clarify whether cupboards, storage spaces and locked rooms are included. Check the conditions for water and electricity access before the visit. The return of the key, a walk-through after cleaning, and notes on any areas left outside the agreed scope belong in the same handover plan.
Deciding on detailed cleaning before renovation is complete
If painting, silicone work, grouting, installation or another trade task will continue, dust can settle again after detailed cleaning. That does not necessarily mean the earlier cleaning was not done; ongoing work may have released dust into the air and onto finished surfaces. For a handover date, it helps to confirm with the relevant parties that final sanding, cutting, installation and paint touch-ups are complete.
Bulky debris, packaging and building residue should not be treated as identical to fine dust. For paint, mortar or adhesive residue, no method should be selected without knowing the surface material and the manufacturer’s care instructions. When discussing post-construction cleaning, list finished areas separately from areas where work is still pending.
Separate glass marks, returning dust and surface damage
Not every mark noticed after window cleaning is dirt. Fine construction dust, water marks, paint splashes, residue, scratches and coating issues can look similar. Their cause cannot be confirmed remotely or through a simple touch check. Distinguishing a scratch, stain or coating condition requires professional assessment.
Before cleaning, visible scratches, cracks, dullness or suspected coating issues can be noted. Frame, seal and access conditions should also be shared. Rather than assuming work on risky exterior elevations or at height, the scope for accessible areas can be considered under window cleaning. If a mark is noticed afterwards, note which pane it is on, whether it appears on the inside or outside, and whether it is visible in earlier photographs. Request an assessment without assigning a definite cause.
Practical preparation and check list
- Access: Are the key, card, remote and receiving person identified?
- Scope: Are cupboard interiors, balconies, windows, upholstery and locked areas included?
- Renovation: Have dust-producing, painting or finishing tasks been completed?
- Surfaces: Is there information about sensitive stone, wood, coated glass or fabric labels?
- Final check: Who will inspect the flat afterwards, with which key, and which areas will be checked?
What if dust appears again after detailed cleaning?
First check for ongoing renovation, installation work or dust entering from open areas. If the handover date has changed, a further final check or cleaning need can be considered separately.
How can I tell whether a glass mark is damage or a stain?
Appearance alone is not a reliable diagnosis. It is more appropriate to request a professional assessment that considers the glass type, coating, existing condition and the manufacturer’s care guidance.
