In an apartment building, the phrase "let's get it cleaned" often blends two separate jobs: cleaning inside a flat, and cleaning shared parts such as the entrance, landings and stairs. If nobody agrees in advance who orders the work, who approves it, and where it starts and stops, the discussion about scope begins only after the team arrives. For an address in Cumhuriyet Mahallesi in Muratpaşa, this is the first point to settle.
Who draws the line around shared areas
Shared-area work is usually defined by the building or site management, or by an authorised person, rather than by a single resident. Three things are worth putting in writing: which floors and sections are included (only the entrance and first two floors, or all the way up), whether the lift car, basement, car park and rubbish room are included, and the clear rule that flat doors are not entered. The same conversation should cover where water and electricity will be taken from and where waste will be carried. Scope is discussed according to the address and access conditions.
A short map of the eight services
Home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office cleaning covers work areas, shared spaces and toilets. Post-construction work separates coarse debris from fine cleaning. Empty-flat cleaning focuses on cupboard interiors, bathroom, kitchen and floors before a move. Apartment and site cleaning covers stairs, landings and the entrance. Villa cleaning follows floor and usage order; pool maintenance is not included. Upholstery washing and glass cleaning are separate scopes.
What to expect from old stains on sofa fabric
With stains that have been there a long time, the outcome depends on the fabric type, what caused the mark, and which products were tried before. For this reason no stain-removal guarantee is given. The label or the manufacturer's care instruction is checked first; if it is unknown, the method stays cautious. The cause of a mark cannot be diagnosed with certainty by eye, and telling colour loss, fabric wear and removable residue apart needs an on-site assessment. After washing, the fabric needs ventilation to dry, so plan seating around that.
Safe passage at the entrance and on the stairs
On wet stairs the real risk is not the cleaning itself but how people pass. Concrete decisions help: clean in sections rather than all floors at once, keep one side of the step dry, place warning signs, put a "wet floor" note at the entrance door, and avoid the busiest coming-and-going hours. If residents use wheelchairs, prams or carry loads, sharing that in advance shapes the plan. A short notice from management to residents is the single step that smooths the work most.
Check points before and after
- Scope list: included and excluded sections written down.
- Access: keys, door code, water and power points, parking situation.
- Sensitive items: polished handrails, natural stone steps, painted walls, fabric with no known label.
- Personal belongings and papers removed from shared areas beforehand.
- Afterwards, walk through together to check dryness, corners and waste removal.

Can one resident order shared-area cleaning?
They can pass on the request, but scope and payment responsibility need confirming with management or an authorised person; otherwise it stays unclear which floors are covered.
What if the stain is still visible after upholstery washing?
Colour changes that have settled into the fabric structure may not reverse. This possibility is discussed beforehand, and the method is chosen so the fabric is not damaged.
