When arranging cleaning in Gündoğan Mahallesi, Elmalı, Antalya, saying “clean the kitchen” may leave important details unclear. Countertops, the area around the cooker and cabinet fronts may be included, while cabinet interiors need a separate decision because they involve emptying shelves, handling contents and defining what happens afterwards. Water, electricity and entry access should be ready on the cleaning day so the agreed scope can be carried out clearly.
The scope and address access can be discussed with CGS Temizlik. Its registered central address is Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D, Kepez/Antalya, and its telephone number is 0537 445 0191.
Match the cleaning type to a clear scope
For homes, vacant apartments and villas, identify the kitchen, bathroom, living spaces, floors, room count, levels and accessible windows separately. Home cleaning depends on how furnished areas are used, while vacant apartment cleaning can more clearly separate cabinet interiors, bathrooms, kitchens and floors before a move. In villas, stairs, levels and windows can affect the work sequence; pool maintenance is not included.
For offices and workplaces, specify work areas, shared spaces and toilets. Set boundaries for computers, other electronics and documents in advance. For apartment or site cleaning, define stairs, landings, entrances and other common areas, and arrange pedestrian access around wet floors. Post-construction work separates bulky debris from fine cleaning; paint or mortar residue requires attention to surface sensitivity.
For upholstery washing, the fabric label and ventilation conditions should be discussed, and stain results can vary by fabric and surface. For window cleaning, describe accessible glass, frames and surface conditions. Do not assume that risky exterior façades or work at height are included.
Turn special requests into specific instructions
It is more useful to describe a request by area, surface and boundary than to ask for “deep cleaning.” For example: “Clean cabinet fronts, handles and visible outer surfaces; cabinet interiors are excluded.” Or: “The upper shelves will be emptied; wipe the inside shelves, but do not put items back.” These distinctions make both preparation and final checking easier.
Do not assume a definite cause for scratches, dullness, persistent marks, coating issues or stains. A condition on glass, a countertop or furniture may require professional assessment to distinguish a surface issue from a coating issue or another cause. Without the manufacturer’s care instructions, a particular method or product should not be treated as suitable.
Why cabinet interiors and exteriors need separate decisions
Cabinet exteriors may include doors, handles, visible side panels and, where appropriate, outer edges. Interiors involve shelves, drawers, corners and the items stored inside. If interior cleaning is requested, clarify which cabinets will be empty, who will remove food or fragile items, and whether the expectation is basic wiping or more detailed shelf cleaning.
If moving or arranging stored items is expected, state this separately. Document filing, document destruction and electronic repair are not cleaning services. In an office, clearly identify which areas around documents may be handled.
Practical checklist for the cleaning day
- Entry: Confirm the door, key, building contact or on-site contact arrangement.
- Water and electricity: Check that usable water and electricity are available.
- Areas: Separate rooms, cabinets, windows or common spaces that are included from those that are excluded.
- Sensitive surfaces: Share manufacturer guidance, known sensitivities or coating details that need attention.
- Access around wet floors: Plan movement for residents, staff or visitors.
- Final check: Review the agreed areas using the same cabinet interior/exterior, bathroom, floor, window-frame and common-area distinctions.
Who should remove items before cabinet interiors are cleaned?
If interior cleaning is planned, decide in advance whether cabinets will be left empty. Clear boundaries for food, personal belongings, fragile items and documents help the work proceed in an orderly way.
What if a window has a scratch or a persistent mark?
Point it out before cleaning begins and request a surface assessment if needed. Scratches, stains and coating conditions cannot always be distinguished reliably from a simple test; share any available manufacturer care information.
