When preparing a flat handover in Güzle Mahallesi, Korkuteli, cleaning decisions start with a practical issue: who holds the key and how will the team enter the property? A vacant flat, a relative meeting the team during a move, and an owner attending the final check each require a different access plan. CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D, Kepez/Antalya. Scope can be discussed according to the address and access arrangements at 0537 445 0191.
Make key handover and access responsibilities clear
Agree on when the key will be provided, who will open the property, and who will receive the key after the work. If a neighbour, estate office, or building attendant will hold it, share the person’s name and availability. Discuss any entry arrangements such as coded doors, parking access, lifts, or shared entrance doors as well.
Check whether water and electricity will be available if they are needed. If you cannot attend the handover, you can agree in advance whether the final review will take place through photographs, a video call, or a later key handover. This keeps the cleaning scope and the handover responsibility visible in the same plan.
Define window work beyond the word “cleaning”
For windows, specify more than the glass itself: can both sides be reached, and are the tracks and frames included? For example, the inside pane, outside pane, lower track, and frame of a balcony door may be separate items. If there is no safe access to the outside surface, it should not be assumed to be part of the work. The window cleaning page provides additional context on accessible surfaces and conditions.
- Do the windows open, or are they fixed?
- Can the exterior side be reached from indoors or from a safe position?
- Are there deposits in tracks, sensitive finishes on frames, or difficult residue?
- Do existing scratches, dullness, or marks need to be recorded separately?
Scratches, stains, and coating issues can look similar, and identifying the cause or suitable treatment requires professional assessment. Without the manufacturer’s care instructions, no particular method or product should be assumed suitable.
Set limits for fragile items and cabinet interiors
If the flat is not completely empty, decide whether glass ornaments, ceramics, framed items, collectibles, and small electronics will be moved, cleaned in place, or left outside the scope. Cabinet interiors should not be treated as automatically included either. If cabinets are empty, name the internal shelves, drawers, and door interiors; if they contain belongings, select the sections where access is permitted.
In kitchens and bathrooms, separating cabinet interiors from counters, sinks, taps, and floors makes handover checks easier. For moving-related work, water, electricity, and cabinet-interior arrangements can also be discussed under vacant flat cleaning.
Match the service to the actual task
Home cleaning covers living spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms, while vacant flat cleaning focuses on pre-move cabinets, floors, and access. Office and workplace cleaning sets limits around electronics and documents. Post-construction cleaning separates bulky waste from fine dust. Apartment and site cleaning concerns shared areas; villa cleaning can cover floors and stairs, but not pool maintenance. Upholstery cleaning considers fabric labels and ventilation. Window work concerns accessible glass, frames, and tracks.
Before-work and handover checklist
- List rooms to be cleaned, areas that stay closed, and the person responsible for the key.
- Set separate scope for the inside and outside of windows, tracks, and frames.
- Mark cabinet sections that will be emptied or remain inaccessible.
- Remove fragile belongings or state the limits for cleaning them in place.
- Confirm water, electricity, and entry access.
- At handover, compare windows, cabinet interiors, kitchen-bathroom surfaces, and floors with the agreed scope.
Should I provide the key before the appointment or on the day?
Either approach can be planned when the handover method, key holder, access time, and return process are clear. You may also state preferences such as not passing the key to additional people.
Are cabinet interiors and window tracks automatically included in vacant flat cleaning?
No. Naming cabinet interiors, both sides of the glass, tracks, and frames separately makes the handover standard clearer. Where cabinets contain belongings, the permitted sections should also be identified.
