When a flat handover is approaching in Göçerler Mahallesi, Korkuteli, saying only “the property needs cleaning” is often not enough. Who holds the key, whether water and electricity are available, whether site common areas are included, and whether renovation dust is different from everyday dirt all affect the scope. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd No109/D, Kepez/Antalya; scope can be discussed according to the address and access conditions by calling 0537 445 0191.
Match the cleaning type to its actual boundaries
Home, empty-flat, and villa cleaning can cover kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, cabinet interiors, floors, and accessible windows, but each item should be identified separately. Empty flat cleaning focuses on preparing cabinet interiors and living spaces before moving in, while the boundaries around furniture in an occupied home should be agreed in advance. In villas, floors, stairs, rooms, and windows affect the work order; pool maintenance is not included.
For offices and workplaces, workstations, shared-use areas, and toilets can be defined separately. Limits on handling computers, other electronics, and documents should be agreed beforehand. Upholstery washing requires consideration of the fabric label and ventilation conditions; stain removal should not be assumed. Window cleaning is limited by accessible glass, frames, and surface conditions; risky exterior or high-level work needs separate assessment.
Set common-area limits with site management
In an apartment or site setting, the area outside the flat door, corridor, stairs, landing, entrance, and lift surroundings should be distinguished. A route and work sequence may be discussed to avoid carrying dust from the flat into shared areas, but common-area cleaning is not automatically part of flat cleaning. Apartment and site cleaning is planned separately for stairs, landings, entrances, and other common spaces.
If access approval is needed from management or an authorized person, clarify door access, lift use, water points, and pedestrian arrangements on wet floors. Deciding which shared sections, if any, will be checked at completion also helps keep responsibility for the flat separate from responsibility for the building.
Clarify keys and access for a flat handover
For an empty-flat handover, identify who will provide the key, the handover time, whether a spare key exists, and who receives the key after the work. Whether locked rooms, storage areas, balconies, or cabinets are within scope also depends on access. If water or electricity is unavailable, the tasks affected should be considered in advance.
It is useful to note existing scratches, worn coatings, fixed marks, or sensitive surfaces before work begins. The difference between a scratch, a stain, and a coating issue may require professional assessment. Without the manufacturer’s care instructions, no particular method should be treated as suitable.
Do not treat renovation dust as routine dirt
For post-construction cleaning, bulky waste, fine dust, paint or mortar residue, and final wiping are considered separately. After renovation, dust may remain in layers on window tracks, cabinet interiors, skirting boards, and accessible surfaces. With everyday dirt, routine cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and frequently used areas is usually the main focus.
Surface sensitivity matters where paint or mortar residue is present. The method for removing hard residue should not be decided without knowing the surface material and manufacturer guidance. This distinction makes both the work sequence and the final inspection points more realistic.
Practical preparation and handover checks
- Separate the flat interior, balcony, and common areas in the requested scope.
- Share key details, entry arrangements, water, electricity, and the contact person.
- List renovation residue, everyday dirt, moving-related debris, and bulky waste separately.
- Flag special surfaces, fabric labels, and inaccessible windows before the visit.
- Complete separate final checks for the flat interior and any agreed common area.
Is the site corridor included in flat handover cleaning?
A corridor or landing is addressed only when it is clearly included in the scope. Its boundary and the access arrangement should be clarified with site management or an authorized person.
Are marks on glass after renovation handled like everyday stains?
No. Paint, mortar, scratches, coating issues, and ordinary use marks may need different assessment. A method should not be selected without knowing the glass and frame materials and their care instructions.
