Two empty flats of the same size can turn into two very different jobs. In one, furniture has just moved out, cupboards are empty and only dust and marks remain; in the other, the place has been shut up for a long time, limescale has built up in the bathroom and sticky residue has formed inside kitchen cabinets. If you are planning a pre-move clean in Yeleme, a neighbourhood of Korkuteli, the first useful step is to note with your own eyes which of these two descriptions your flat is closer to. That note defines the scope.
A sensible order of work before moving in
In an empty flat, the order follows one logic: dirt travels from top to bottom and from inside outwards. Cupboard and drawer interiors are emptied and wiped first, then wet areas such as the bathroom and kitchen, and floors last. Break that order and you will end up mopping twice.
Windows usually come before floors, because dust from frames and sills falls downwards. In a flat that has just been painted or still holds construction residue, the sequence changes: moving to fine cleaning before coarse debris is removed is not efficient. Confirming in advance whether water and electricity are on also affects the plan directly; without hot water, degreasing a kitchen takes longer.
For details see the empty flat cleaning page and, for glass scope, window cleaning.
Our main services in brief
Home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office and workplace cleaning covers work and shared areas, with no intervention on electronics or documents. Post-construction cleaning separates coarse debris from fine work. Empty flat cleaning focuses on cupboard interiors, wet areas and floors. Apartment and residential complex cleaning covers stairs, landings and entrances; villa cleaning covers floors, rooms, stairs and glass, pool maintenance excluded. Sofa washing and window cleaning are separate scopes.
What to expect from old stains on sofa fabric
If sofas are to be washed before the move, one thing should be agreed at the outset: whether a stain will come out cannot be promised in advance. Stains that have sat for a long time, or been set by heat or by a product applied earlier, may leave a lightened patch or a visible mark. Assuming a method is suitable without knowing the fabric label and the manufacturer's care instructions is not sound; finding the label is the most practical preparation you can make.
Naming the cause of a stain by sight alone is also not possible; two marks that look alike can behave differently. So it is more realistic to frame the expectation as "it may visibly lighten with a suitable method, and a permanent mark may remain" rather than "it will disappear". See the sofa washing page for more.
Checkpoints before and after the job
- Before: Are water and electricity on, and are the entrance and lift usable?
- Before: Are cupboards fully empty, and if items remain, which are outside the scope?
- Before: Are sofa labels readable, and can windows be opened for ventilation?
- Before: Have you noted together any pre-existing scratches or marks on glass, frames or floors?
- After: Have cupboard interiors, bathroom grout, under the kitchen counter and floor corners been reviewed?
- After: Has remaining dampness in washed sofas and when they can be used again been discussed?
Walking the space together at handover
Walking room by room together at handover is far clearer than trying to explain something by phone afterwards. If anything catches your eye while the team is still there, point it out on the spot; what can be improved by cleaning and what stems from the condition of the surface itself is best assessed in place. Telling a scratch from dulling or a coating issue is hard to judge by eye, and no conclusion is offered without looking at it directly.

Should the flat be completely emptied before cleaning?
Where possible, yes. Empty cupboards and drawers make the scope clear; if items remain, say in advance which should be moved and which should not be touched.
What should I do after the sofas are washed?
Ventilate the room and keep covers or objects off the fabric until it is fully dry. Using it while damp increases the risk of marks and odour.
