When a vacant flat in İnceğiz, Gazipaşa is nearing handover, the cleaning list matters just as much as deciding who holds the key. If an owner, tenant, property representative or building contact may have access at different times, agree in advance on entry, key collection and the final inspection. This is particularly useful when marks become visible on windows after cleaning and need to be considered separately from an existing surface issue.
Choosing a scope that matches the property
Home cleaning can cover kitchens, bathrooms and living areas, while vacant-flat cleaning may include cupboard interiors, floors and move-in preparation. Office and workplace cleaning needs clear limits around electronics and documents. Post-construction work separates bulky debris from fine dust and treats paint or mortar residue with surface sensitivity. Apartment or site cleaning concerns shared areas; villa cleaning can be ordered around floors, rooms, stairs and window use, but does not include pool maintenance. Upholstery cleaning considers fabric labels and ventilation, while window cleaning depends on accessible glass, frames and surface conditions.
Set out key and access responsibilities in writing
For a flat handover, “the key will be left there” may not be enough. Confirm how many keys exist, who will hand them over, who can open the property, whether the building entrance or shared areas need separate access, and who receives the keys back and when. A person who will not be present can send the agreed scope and access authority in writing. If water or electricity is needed, their availability should also be confirmed. Scope is discussed according to the address and access conditions. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd No109/D, Kepez/Antalya; its phone number is 0537 445 0191.
Do not rush to label a window mark as damage
Changes in light, or glass becoming fully dry, can make previously unnoticed marks more visible after cleaning. That alone does not establish where a mark came from or prove surface damage. If clear scratches, dull areas, coating concerns or heavy residue are visible beforehand, noting them with photographs can be helpful. Distinguishing scratches, stains and coating issues requires professional assessment; checking glass with a finger or fingernail is not reliable. Where manufacturer care instructions are unavailable, no specific method should be assumed suitable. Risky exterior glass or work at height needs separate consideration.
A short checklist for a joint handover review
- Before work: State the included areas, such as rooms, cupboard interiors, windows, balconies or shared spaces.
- For access: Record the key count, handover contact and return method.
- For glass and sensitive surfaces: Note any obvious pre-existing condition and share special product or care instructions.
- At completion: Review the kitchen, bathroom, floors, cupboard interiors and agreed windows together.
- Before leaving: Raise any area that appears unfinished in specific terms, before the keys are returned.
When should a window mark be discussed during handover?
Where possible, look at it together before keys are returned, without assuming it is either cleaning residue or a surface defect.
How can a final review work if nobody is at the flat?
The reviewing contact, access authority and key-return method should be agreed before work begins.
