Why do two flats of the same size take very different amounts of time to clean? An empty flat has nothing in front of its surfaces except floors and cupboard interiors; a lived-in home has something to move, protect or put back at every step. When you describe the job for an address in Deniz Mahallesi, in the Muratpaşa district of Antalya, treating square metres as only one factor among several makes both the scope and the day easier to plan.
What drives workload besides floor area
These items often matter more than the area itself: how much furniture has to be moved, the type of soiling (dust, grease, or construction residue), the mix of surface types, the number of wet rooms, the number of windows and how they are reached, floors and stairs, access to water and electricity, and how far waste has to be carried. A small flat with long-accumulated kitchen grease takes longer than expected; a large but empty flat moves quickly across floors and cupboards. Describing what you actually see makes the scope discussion on the phone far closer to reality.
Realistic expectations for old sofa stains
With old stains, the honest approach is not "it will come out" or "it won't", but separating what is known from what isn't. What the stain is, how long it has been there, and which product may have been applied before are usually unclear. If the manufacturer's care label is missing or unreadable, no method can simply be assumed suitable for that fabric. Colour lightening, ring marks or changes in the weave are different from removable soiling and need on-site assessment. For this reason, upholstery cleaning carries no stain-removal guarantee; what can be done is choosing a suitable method, testing it in a hidden area where appropriate, and providing enough ventilation for drying. Discuss your expectation at the sofa, before washing starts.
Asking for several services on one day
Home cleaning together with upholstery washing or window cleaning is possible, but order matters. A washed sofa leaves the room unusable while it dries, so other work in that area is usually finished first. Dust-producing tasks come before windows, otherwise the glass is soiled twice. Staged work such as post-construction cleaning loses the waiting time it needs when squeezed next to another service. For same-day requests, say in advance which rooms can be left empty and when, and whether water and electricity are on.
The eight services in brief
Home cleaning; office and workplace cleaning (electronics and documents are not handled); post-construction cleaning; pre-move empty flat cleaning; apartment and residential common areas; villa cleaning (pool maintenance not included); upholstery washing; and window cleaning on reachable glass. Scope for each is agreed according to the address and access.
Checklist before and after the work
- Before: clear away fragile and personal items, find fabric care labels if they exist, confirm water and electricity are on.
- Before: check building rules for entry, parking and lift use.
- Before: name each surface or item you do not want touched.
- After: look inside cupboards, at wet-room drains and skirting boards; let a washed sofa dry fully and avoid covering it.
How can I describe the scope more accurately by phone?
Instead of room counts, say: furnished or empty, how many wet rooms, what kind of soiling, how many windows and on which floor. You can reach CGS Temizlik on 0537 445 01 91 to discuss scope based on address and access. Head office: Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd No 109/D, Kepez/Antalya.
Is the mark on my sofa a stain or fabric damage?
That is hard to settle at home, and a product applied on guesswork can make it worse. The sound approach is to look at the sofa together before washing and base the method on the care label plus on-site observation.
