In Çeşme Mahallesi, Kaş, a vacated flat may have keys held separately by an agent, owner and tenant. Before cleaning begins, the access arrangement should be clear. The same applies to an occupied office: rather than closing every area at once, desks, shared spaces and washrooms can be released for use in an agreed sequence. This guide helps define the work and review the space together when it is complete.
Choosing the right cleaning scope
Home cleaning covers kitchens, bathrooms and living areas with methods suited to the surface. Empty-flat cleaning can include cupboard interiors, floors, kitchens and bathrooms, subject to water and electricity access. Office and workplace cleaning covers work areas, shared spaces and washrooms, while setting clear limits around electronics and documents.
For post-construction cleaning, bulky waste removal and detailed cleaning are separate tasks; dust is removed in stages, and paint or mortar residue requires attention to surface sensitivity. Apartment and site cleaning may cover stairs, landings, entrances and shared areas. Villa cleaning may be planned around floors, rooms, stairs and accessible windows. Upholstery cleaning considers the fabric label and ventilation conditions. Window cleaning is limited to accessible glass, frames and surface conditions. See the pages for empty-flat cleaning, office cleaning and window cleaning for further detail.
Keys and access responsibility at flat handover
Even when a flat is empty, it is useful to agree who holds the key, who will unlock and secure the property, and during which time window the cleaning team can enter. The person receiving the key, the handover time and the return method can be noted in writing. Rather than relying on assumptions such as leaving a door open, asking a neighbour for a key or waiting inside when access is blocked, identify the responsible contact.
Water, electricity, hot water, lift access and permission to enter the building should also be stated beforehand. If any of these are unavailable, the parties can discuss which areas can still be handled and which tasks need to wait. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi, 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd.

Releasing an occupied office area by area
When an office remains in use, it may not be necessary to clear the entire premises at one time. For example, the entrance and washrooms may be handled first, followed by a meeting area, then the surroundings of workstations when available. For each section, agree when it will be vacant, where staff will place personal items and when traffic can resume over a cleaned floor.
Clearly identify computers, printers, cables, papers, archive boxes and open files that should not be handled. Electronic repair, document organisation and document destruction are not cleaning services. Before a section with a wet floor is returned to use, review the traffic arrangement with the responsible contact.
A joint review when cleaning is finished
A review is most useful while the space remains accessible and before the key is returned. Instead of inspecting randomly, check against the agreed scope: were cupboard interiors included, were balconies or windows discussed, and which areas remained outside the work because access was unavailable? If a scratch, stain or coating issue is noticed, its cause should not be confirmed through a simple test or distant assessment. Where manufacturer care instructions are unknown, selecting a method requires professional evaluation.
Practical preparation checklist
- Access: Name the person responsible for keys, opening and securing doors, and building entry.
- Scope: List included areas such as rooms, cupboard interiors, windows, stairs, shared areas or upholstery.
- Limits: Point out personal items, electronics, documents and delicate surfaces.
- Conditions: Confirm water, electricity and, where needed, ventilation.
- Review: Agree who will inspect the completed work and receive the key back.
Does one person need to be responsible for the key handover?
Several people may have access, but it should be clear who will open the property, receive the key back and approve the final review. This is particularly helpful when handing over an empty flat.
Can cleaning take place while part of an office is still being used?
A section-by-section plan can be considered when the sequence for vacant areas, the limits around electronics and papers, and the traffic arrangement are agreed in advance. The appropriate scope is discussed according to workplace access conditions.
