When a flat is being handed over in Gündoğdu Mahallesi, Manavgat, the cleaning conversation usually needs more than the number of rooms. Who holds the key, who can enter the property, whether water and electricity are available, and whether the home is empty or furnished all affect the work sequence and its limits. Fine dust left after renovation should also be treated differently from everyday household soil.
Separating services by the right scope
Home cleaning may cover kitchens, bathrooms and living areas, while empty-flat cleaning places more emphasis on cabinet interiors, floors and moving preparation. Post-construction cleaning separates bulky waste from fine dust. Offices and workplaces need clear limits around electronics and documents. Apartment and site work concerns shared areas, and villa work may be planned by floors and stairs. Upholstery cleaning considers fabric labels; window cleaning considers accessible glass and surface conditions.
For a handover or move-in preparation, empty flat cleaning may be more appropriate than regular home cleaning. Where there is paint residue, mortar residue or widespread fine dust, post-construction cleaning can be the more useful starting point.
Keys, access and handover responsibility
Agree in advance how the key will be handed over and returned. If the owner, tenant, estate representative or another authorised person will provide access, clarify that person’s name, availability and where the key will be collected. The building entrance, parking area or lift may require separate access, so these arrangements should be confirmed beforehand.
It also helps to identify who will inspect the flat after cleaning. If the receiving person cannot attend at the end, the areas to be checked and the method for returning the key can be shared in writing. Unavailable water or electricity may affect both the cleaning scope and the methods that can be used.
Do not treat renovation dust as everyday soil
Everyday soil may include use marks, kitchen grease, bathroom build-up or ordinary floor dust. After renovation, there may instead be fine dust spread across surfaces, paint splashes, mortar residue or packaging remnants. Removing bulky waste and carrying out detailed surface cleaning are not the same task.
The cause of a scratch, stain, coating loss or adhered residue cannot be confirmed from a distance. A specific method should not be treated as suitable for glass, paintwork, natural stone, laminate, wood or metal without knowing the manufacturer’s care instructions. For paint or mortar residue in particular, the possible effect on the surface and the limit of intervention should be discussed.
Protecting items in a furnished home
Before cleaning a furnished property, identify items that should not be moved, delicate finishes and areas that should not be handled. It is useful to set boundaries for electronic devices, personal items left in the open, collections, delicate fabrics and surfaces with manufacturer instructions. If sofas or other upholstered furniture need attention, upholstery cleaning should be considered separately with the fabric label and ventilation conditions in mind.
Practical preparation and check list
- List the areas to be cleaned, excluded rooms and any special scope such as cabinet interiors.
- State who is responsible for keys, building access, water, electricity and entry arrangements.
- Report renovation residue, everyday soil, the amount of furniture and sensitive surfaces in advance.
- Set an end-of-work check order for the kitchen, bathroom, floors, windows and key handover.
- Discuss scope according to the address and access conditions with CGS Temizlik: head office at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D Kepez/Antalya; telephone 0537 445 01 91.
What should be specified if nobody will be at the property for key handover?
Clearly share who will provide and receive the key, the access method, contact details, the inspection time and expectations for securing the property afterwards.
Is regular cleaning enough when an empty flat has fine dust?
Consider whether the dust comes from renovation work and whether bulky waste or residue adhered to surfaces is present. This distinction helps define the appropriate scope.
