An apartment is not ready for cleaning the moment the door opens. Does water run from the taps, is the electricity switched on, is the lift usable? When planning a clean at an address in Zerdalilik, part of Muratpaşa, the answers to these three questions often shape the scope more than the furniture does. At CGS Temizlik the scope is discussed according to the address and access conditions; our base is Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd. No:109/D Kepez/Antalya, phone 0537 4450191.
Who holds the key: two scenarios
In the first, the owner or tenant is present at the appointment. The door is open, water and power have been tested, and any room left out of scope is shown on site. In the second, the key is left with someone else: a neighbour, the building manager, an estate agent or the caretaker. This second case needs more to be settled in advance. Who hands the key over and who receives it afterwards, whether balcony, storage or loft need separate keys, and any entrance code or car park access should be agreed clearly. If the handover chain is vague, the team may reach the building but not the flat.
Our main services at a glance
Home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office cleaning covers workspaces, shared areas and toilets, with no intervention on electronics or documents. Post-construction work separates coarse debris from fine cleaning. Empty flat cleaning focuses on cupboard interiors, bathroom, kitchen and floors. Apartment and estate cleaning covers stairs, landings and entrances; villa cleaning covers floors, rooms, stairs and glass, pool care excluded. Upholstery washing starts with the label. Glass cleaning is limited to reachable windows.
Flooring decides moisture and equipment
Equipment is chosen from the manufacturer's care instructions, not from the name of the floor. Laminate, solid parquet, lacquered surfaces, ceramic, natural stone and epoxy tolerate moisture differently; where instructions are unknown, a low-moisture, controlled method is preferred over generous water. So share whatever you have before the appointment: a box label, a warranty document, a note from the installer. If the water is cut off or the meter is closed, machine-based methods are limited, which changes the scope. Older marks, dull patches or scratch-like lines are looked at on site; deciding whether a mark is coating wear, a surface stain or a scratch requires expert assessment, and no treatment is applied on guesswork. In post-construction cleaning, dust is removed in stages and paint or mortar residue is handled together with surface sensitivity.
Reviewing the result together
Confirming the scope on site works better than messages sent afterwards. If possible, be present at the end yourself or send someone authorised; otherwise arrange a video walkthrough. The places worth checking are predictable: cupboard interiors, bathroom grout and around taps, under the kitchen worktop, the balcony door track, behind doors and the skirting line. Where floors remain damp, agree on a walking route; moving furniture before drying harms both the floor and the work. In upholstery washing, ventilation time is part of this review, and full stain removal is not promised.
Short checklist
- Who hands over the key, and who receives it back?
- Are water, power and lighting working?
- What is the floor covering and its care instruction, if known?
- Which rooms, cupboards or items are out of scope?
- Where should waste and packaging be left?
- Who will join the final walkthrough?
Can I leave the key with a neighbour?
Yes. What matters is agreeing in advance on the name, phone number and time window of the person handing it over and taking it back.
What if I cannot find my floor's care instructions?
A lower-moisture, more cautious method is chosen; anything potentially risky is left out, and this is stated plainly when the appointment is arranged.
