If a dark mark on a sofa arm has been there for months, the useful question is not "will it come out" but "how long has it been in the fabric and what was already applied to it?" When an appointment is discussed for an address in Sülekler mahallesi, part of Korkuteli, the conversation usually stalls right here: two stains that look alike can behave very differently depending on age and history.
CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D Kepez/Antalya. Whether service can be arranged for a given address, and under what access and working conditions, is agreed by phone on 0537 4450191.
Telling the jobs apart
Scopes divide roughly like this: home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; empty-flat cleaning covers cupboard interiors and floors; post-construction work separates coarse debris from fine dust. In apartment and site work the scope is stairs, landings and entrances; in villas the order of floors, rooms and stairs is agreed, and pool maintenance is not included. Office work sets a limit on touching electronics and documents. Upholstery cleaning and glass cleaning are separate, surface-dependent jobs.
Realistic expectations on old stains
With aged stains in fabric, no result can be promised in advance. What matters: whether the mark sits in the fibre or only in surface soiling; whether a household product was already used on it; whether heat has set the difference between the stain and the fabric colour. A years-old oil mark on light upholstery is not the same job as a fresh drink spill. Some marks lift clearly, some fade but remain, and some involve a change in the fabric's own colour that cleaning cannot reverse. Naming the exact cause of a stain or judging fabric damage by eye is not reliable; that needs assessment on site by someone qualified. Without reading the manufacturer's care label, no method is assumed suitable for that fabric; where no label exists, the approach is chosen more cautiously and no stain-removal guarantee is given.
The floor underneath changes the moisture decision
Upholstery or carpet work cannot be planned apart from the floor beneath it. On laminate, water seeping into edge joints is unwanted, so more controlled moisture and stronger extraction are preferred, and the sofa is moved off the floor or protected underneath where possible. Ceramic and natural stone tolerate water better, but a wet surface brings slip risk. On carpet, drying takes longer, and in a closed room with little air movement it can take longer still, so ventilation is planned from the start. Telling us the floor type before the appointment directly affects which equipment is brought.
Sequencing in an office that stays open
If work happens while the business operates, areas are closed and reopened in turn rather than all at once. A workable order: a meeting room or low-traffic section first, then corridors and shared areas, busy desks last. Access to a still-damp section is blocked while the dried section returns to use. Papers and cables on desks need clearing beforehand; filing, document destruction and repairing electronic devices are not part of cleaning. Details are on the office and workplace cleaning page.
Checks before and after
- Before: find the care label and mention any product already applied.
- Before: state the floor covering and water and power access.
- Before: point out existing issues such as broken zips, open seams or faded areas.
- After: do not sit on the piece before it dries; keep ventilating.
- After: judge any remaining mark in daylight once fully dry.
What happens if the stain does not fully come out?
The result is reviewed together after drying; a further attempt may be discussed as far as the fabric allows, but no outcome is promised.
How soon can the room be used after upholstery cleaning?
It depends on the fabric, the moisture used and ventilation; rather than a fixed time, use it once it checks dry by hand.
