Two apartments can carry the same service name and still turn into completely different jobs. In one, the tap runs, the sockets work and the key is in hand. In the other, the meter is off, the lift is out of service and the key is with a neighbour. When planning cleaning in the Yelten neighbourhood of Korkuteli, clarifying these access conditions in advance usually matters more than discussing the cleaning itself.
Confirming water, power and entry beforehand
Water and electricity are easy to overlook. Rinsing floors, working on bathroom and kitchen surfaces and changing cloths and mops all need running water; machine work, lighting and drying need power. If the meter is closed or the plumbing is out of service after renovation work, the scope narrows accordingly, and that is a conversation to have before the appointment, not on the day.
Entry deserves the same clarity. Who holds the key, at what hour is the door open, is there an intercom or door code, and can equipment be carried in from the parking area or ground floor? These questions come up often in unoccupied flats; when vacant flat cleaning is arranged, whether water and power are connected is one of the first facts that shapes the scope.
Drawing the common-area line with building management
Stairs, landings, the entrance hall and any waste area are rarely one person's decision. When discussing building and complex cleaning, putting the following in writing prevents confusion: which floors are included, whether the basement and roof terrace are in scope, who is responsible for the mats outside flat doors, and whether the car park and garden are handled separately.
Wet floors are a scheduling matter too. Residents keep using the stairs while the work goes on, so agree in advance which section is cleaned first, which follows, and who places warning signs. Naming one contact person for the management side means questions that arise mid-job get answered quickly.
Renovation dust or everyday dirt?
This distinction changes the scope directly. Everyday dirt comes from regular use: kitchen grease, limescale in the bathroom, dust and footprints. Dust left after renovation is fine, it spreads and settles into surfaces, and it often comes with paint spatter, mortar or silicone residue. That needs staged work and a different order, which is why post-construction cleaning is treated as its own scope.
To judge it yourself, look for a grey film that returns on cupboard tops and skirting boards shortly after wiping, hardened residue on window frames, and fine dust gathering behind radiators. If you see scratching or dulling on a surface, describe what you see rather than guessing the cause; telling a scratch from a stain or a damaged coating requires assessment on site. Where the manufacturer's care instructions are unknown, the method is agreed beforehand as well.
The eight services in brief
Home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office cleaning covers work and shared areas, with no handling of electronics or documents. Post-construction cleaning targets fine dust, vacant flat cleaning cupboard interiors and floors before a move. Building and complex cleaning addresses common areas, villa cleaning floors, stairs and glass; pool maintenance is not included. Upholstery washing starts with the fabric label and carries no stain-removal guarantee. Glass cleaning is limited to reachable windows.
Checklist before and after the work
- Confirm water and electricity are on before the cleaning day.
- Settle key, door code or intercom arrangements through one person.
- Put away breakable items and personal paperwork.
- Agree with management which common areas are included.
- Report any renovation residue in advance.
- At the end, review cupboard interiors, window edges and skirting boards together.
Can cleaning go ahead if the water is off?
Some tasks can continue in a limited way, but anything needing rinsing stays unfinished. Narrowing the scope in advance is more practical than arranging a second visit.
The renovation is done and the floor was swept once. Which scope fits?
If coarse debris has been removed, what remains is the fine-dust stage. Still, mention any mortar or paint residue on surfaces, since the method and sequence are decided around it.
