When planning a cleaning day in Çataloluk, Kaş, it matters whether the cloth used on a kitchen worktop will be kept separate from bathroom tools. It also matters whether “windows” means the inside glass only, or both sides together with frames and tracks. If water, electricity or entry access is limited at the property, mention this clearly during the scope discussion. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi, 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D, Kepez/Antalya. Service scope can be discussed according to the address and access conditions by calling 0537 445 0191.
Matching the task to the right scope
Home cleaning may cover kitchens, bathrooms and living areas with methods suited to the surfaces involved. For an empty apartment, cupboard interiors, floors, bathrooms and kitchens should be specified separately. In a villa, floors, rooms, stairs and windows affect the work order; pool maintenance is not included.
Office and workplace cleaning can cover work areas, shared spaces and toilets, while limits around electronics and documents need to be defined. Apartment and site cleaning may include stairs, landings, entrances and other common areas, with a plan for passing over wet floors. Post-construction cleaning distinguishes bulky waste from detailed cleaning, removes dust in stages, and considers surface sensitivity around paint or mortar residue. Upholstery cleaning depends on fabric labels, an appropriate method and ventilation. Accessible windows also require a separate review of their condition. See home cleaning, post-construction cleaning and window cleaning for related scope details.
Keep tools and materials separate by surface
A useful brief is more specific than asking for a general clean. Discuss whether separate cloths or pads are needed for kitchen worktops, hob areas, sinks, toilets, shower areas, handles, floors and glass. Keeping bathroom tools away from kitchen surfaces, separating window cloths from dusting cloths, and changing floor equipment between areas can help limit the transfer of soil from one surface to another.
Identify marble, natural stone, wood, laminate, lacquered finishes, mirrors, coated furniture or delicate fabrics, and provide manufacturer care instructions when available. The cause of scratches, dullness, discolouration, residue or coating issues cannot be confirmed from a distance and needs professional assessment before treatment. Paint, silicone, mortar or adhesive residue may require an assessment of a method in an inconspicuous area before work proceeds.
Make the window-cleaning boundary visible
The phrase “clean the windows” may leave important details open. For each window, state whether the inside glass, outside glass, opening sections, frames, sills and tracks are included. Screens, shutters, blinds, balcony railings and difficult-to-reach sections should be named separately. If there is no safe access to the outside surface or the task involves work at height, raise this in advance; risky exterior work should not be assumed.
If there are existing scratches, marks, films, coatings or hard residues on glass, note their location and record them in photographs. Do not assume a definite cause or a certain removal method for a scratch or stain.
Practical checklist for cleaning day
- Water: Check that a usable water connection is available and clarify hot-water access where relevant.
- Electricity: Provide safe access to sockets and lighting, and mention any circuits that do not work.
- Entry: Arrange keys, building entry, a caretaker, parking or handover access beforehand.
- Belongings: Put away fragile items, valuables and personal papers; identify areas that should not be handled.
- Work order: Agree on an order such as dusty areas first, wet areas next, and floors with restricted foot traffic last.
- Final check: Set review points for both sides of glass, tracks, frames, cupboard interiors, corners, tap areas and keys to be handed over.
Are window tracks and frames automatically included?
No. Expectations are clearer when inside and outside glass, frames, sills and tracks are listed separately. Access conditions can also affect the scope.
What if water or electricity is not yet available?
Share this before the discussion. The workable parts of the task, possible methods and required preparation can then be clarified according to water, power and access conditions.
