People usually describe a home by its floor plan, but the same square metres mean two very different jobs depending on whether the rooms are full or empty. Someone looking for cleaning in Memurevleri, Muratpasa in Antalya often starts with "three rooms and a living room"; what actually shapes the scope is whether the bookshelf is loaded, whether the sofa still has its care label, and what the kitchen countertop is made of. This guide focuses on those distinctions so you can define the job yourself.
What each job covers
The work CGS Temizlik carries out breaks down like this: home cleaning covers living areas, kitchen and bathroom, while empty flat cleaning covers cupboard interiors, floors and wet areas before a move. Office and workplace cleaning covers desks, shared areas and toilets, with no handling of electronics or documents. Post-construction work separates coarse debris from fine dust. Building and residential complex cleaning covers stairs, landings and entrances; villa cleaning covers floors, rooms, stairs and glass, but not pool care. Upholstery washing and glass cleaning depend on access and surface condition.
Protecting surfaces in a furnished home
In a furnished home the real risk is not dirt but the wrong method on the wrong surface. A wood-look console may be solid timber or veneer; a polished finish and a matt lacquered one cannot take the same cloth at the same pressure. Acidic products on natural stone, or abrasive pads on a coated hob panel, can cause problems. So it helps to settle one question beforehand: for which items do you actually have the manufacturer's care instructions, and for which do you not. Where the instructions are unknown, no method can be assumed suitable in advance; such pieces can be left out of scope or handled only at the level of dusting.
The same caution applies to a mark on glass. Whether it is a scratch, a mineral deposit or a failing coating cannot be judged by eye, and it needs an on-site expert assessment. Home tests such as running a fingernail across the mark are unreliable and often make the mark worse.
Fabric and drying in upholstery washing
The first thing examined is the care label. If it is readable, the method follows it; if it has been removed or worn away, a more cautious approach is chosen and a test on a hidden section comes into play. Velvet, linen blends and dyed weaves do not tolerate water and friction equally, so the possibility of shrinkage or colour transfer is discussed in advance.
The second factor is drying. A sofa washed in a room with no airflow, with windows that do not open or with damp air, stays wet for a long time and can develop odour. Before the appointment, check that windows can be opened, that the sofa can be pulled away from the wall, and that a protective sheet can be laid underneath. No guarantee is given that stains will come out; old, heat-set or previously treated stains may be permanent.
Empty versus furnished workload
In an empty flat, floors, cupboard interiors and wet areas are worked through without interruption. In a furnished home the job is layered with moving, protecting and putting back: lifting rugs, clearing breakables, working carefully around cabled devices. The same area takes more time and more decisions when furnished. Empty flats also need water and electricity available; if they are cut off, the scope changes.
Checklist before and after
- Name delicate items and surfaces with unknown care instructions to be left out of scope.
- Find the sofa's care label, or say upfront that there isn't one.
- Check ventilation, water and power access.
- Clear breakables and personal items; papers and electronic devices are outside the scope.
- At the end, review together how damp the washed upholstery is and whether any marks remain on surfaces.

Can a sofa without a label be washed?
No method can be declared suitable in advance. The fabric is assessed on site, a hidden area may be tested, and if the result is poor only surface care may be advised.
Should I clear the furniture myself?
Removing breakable, personal and valuable items speeds up the work and lowers the risk. If remaining furniture needs moving, that is agreed together during the visit.
