In an apartment entrance, one thing is almost always underestimated: people keep walking through while the floor is still wet. Someone reaches for the mailbox, someone climbs the stairs with grocery bags, someone pushes a stroller — all within the same hour. When you are arranging a clean for a building in Narenciye, part of Kumluca, it is often more useful to discuss how that passage will be managed before discussing the scope itself.
You can reach CGS Temizlik at 0537 4450191. Main address: Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd No109/D Kepez/Antalya. Whether the work can be carried out is agreed during the call, based on the address and access conditions.
Telling the jobs apart yourself
In short: home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office cleaning covers workspaces, shared areas and toilets. Post-construction cleaning separates coarse debris removal from fine cleaning. Empty flat cleaning focuses on cupboard interiors, bathroom, kitchen and floors. Apartment and site cleaning covers stairs, landings and the entrance. In villas the order of floors and stairs drives the work, and pool maintenance is not included. Upholstery washing starts with the fabric label; glass cleaning is limited to reachable panes.
Keeping the entrance and stairs passable
Wet floors are unavoidable in shared areas; the aim is to make them visible and predictable. A few decisions that help in practice:
- Working the staircase in sections rather than soaking it all at once, leaving one side of the steps dry.
- Placing mats and equipment so the doorway is not narrowed.
- If there is a lift, agreeing in advance when the cabin and the area in front of its doors will be done.
- Mentioning up front if an elderly neighbour, a wheelchair user or a flat with frequent deliveries is involved.
Building management can also reduce the risk by shifting the work into a quieter time slot. Residents know best which hours those are.
Is the renovation actually finished?
This single question shapes the result more than any other. If sanding, silicone, tile grouting or a final coat of paint is still to come, the cleaning should be scheduled afterwards. Otherwise the same surface is handled twice. Sort the situation like this:
- Work still ongoing: only debris removal and clearing a walkway make sense.
- Work finished, rubble still present: coarse clearing first, fine cleaning as a separate stage.
- Space empty and closed out: post-construction cleaning runs more efficiently in one go.
Why the dust comes back
Fine construction dust stays suspended in the air and settles over hours. That is why it is removed in stages: top to bottom, dry collection before wet wiping. If points such as behind radiators, above door frames, around sockets and on top of cupboards are skipped, dust reappears with the first airing. If a renovation is under way in the shared areas, home cleaning inside the flat will not hold until the source on the staircase is dealt with. With paint and mortar residue, the surface matters; for coated floors, natural stone or wood, no method can be chosen without knowing the manufacturer's care instructions.
Checklist for before and after
- Before: are water and electricity on, and who holds the key to the shared areas?
- Before: name fragile items and anything that must not be moved, one by one.
- Before: clarify whether sofas, curtains or rugs are inside or outside the scope.
- Before: if glass already has marks or scratches, look at them together beforehand.
- After: check cupboard interiors, skirting boards, window channels and door tops.
- After: look again once the floor has dried — only then does returning dust show.
When should I mention a special request?
During the call, before work starts. Requests such as moving a piece of furniture, leaving one room out, or assessing a sofa according to its fabric label change the scope and timing, and are hard to add mid-job.
Will a mark on the glass come off?
Not all marks are the same. Limescale residue, a coating mark and a physical scratch are different cases, and telling them apart requires an on-site assessment. No advance promise of removal can be made; the glass is examined together before the work.
