When an empty flat in Yeni Mahallesi, Kepez is being prepared for handover, cleaning is easier to organise when the key holder, access hours and final key return are clear. The same level of detail matters in an occupied office, where desks and shared areas may need to return to use in sequence. The scope is discussed according to the address and access conditions.
Match the scope to the space
Home cleaning may cover the kitchen, bathroom and living areas, while empty flat cleaning can focus on cupboard interiors, floors and pre-move use. Office and workplace cleaning covers work areas, shared spaces and toilets, with limits around electronics and documents agreed in advance. Post-construction work separates bulky debris from fine dust. Apartment and site work can cover stairs, landings and entrances; villa work is planned by floors, rooms, stairs and accessible windows. Upholstery cleaning considers fabric labels, and window cleaning considers access and surface conditions.
Keys and access at flat handover
For an empty-flat handover, it helps to record whether the key is held by one person, a building representative or an authorised contact. Entry arrangements, water and electricity access, and areas such as enclosed balconies or storage spaces should be listed with the agreed scope. Existing cracks, scratches, fixed paint residue or sensitive finishes can also be noted before work starts. Their cause should not be diagnosed from a distance.
At the end, the locking arrangement, key-return time and receiving person should be clear so that access responsibility is not left open. Accessible glass, frames and surfaces may be discussed separately under window cleaning. Risky exterior façades or high-level access should not be assumed to be part of ordinary window cleaning.
Reopen an occupied office in stages
Rather than moving everyone at once, an office can be arranged area by area: an unused meeting space first, then common areas, followed by the space around workstations. Confirm which desks will be cleared, who will move personal items, and where the boundary lies around computers, printers, cables and paperwork. Cleaning does not include the inside of electronic devices, document filing or document destruction.
Floor material needs its own discussion. Carpet, wood-look flooring, natural stone and other finishes may require different moisture levels and equipment. Where manufacturer care instructions are known, they should guide the method; where they are not known, the surface type should be shared for an appropriate assessment. The sequence and walking routes can be considered when discussing office and workplace cleaning.
A short before-and-after checklist
- Identify the rooms included, excluded areas and any special items.
- Confirm keys, entry permission, water and electricity access.
- Share sensitive flooring, fabric labels, window access and visible surface conditions.
- Set the office reopening order and walking arrangements around wet floors.
- Check the agreed scope by area, key return and any remaining points at completion.

What should be agreed if keys are left for a flat handover clean?
Confirm the person handing over and receiving the keys, entry time, excluded areas and the locking arrangement after the work is finished.
Why should office flooring be assessed separately?
Not every finish is suitable for the same moisture level or equipment. Manufacturer care information, surface condition and the planned return to use should be considered together.
