Cabinet doors wiped, worktop gleaming, and yet inside the drawer there are still crumbs, spice dust and a sticky patch of sugar. That picture explains one of the most common misunderstandings about cleaning work: the inside of a cabinet and its outer surface are usually not treated as the same task. When you prepare a request in the Akçaalan mahallesi of Serik, describing your needs with this distinction in mind keeps both the scope and the time set aside realistic.
Inside the cabinet, or the outer surface?
Outer surface work means door fronts, handles, the edges under units and visible panels. Interior work means emptying the contents, checking any shelf lining, loosening residue and allowing shelves to dry. The difference can be put in one sentence: cabinet interiors create an emptying and putting-back job before any cleaning starts.
So instead of "clean the kitchen", a more workable description is: "three upper cabinets will be emptied, the lower drawers stay closed, and small appliances will already be off the worktop." Who empties the contents should also be agreed in advance. In homes that are empty before or after a move, interiors are often the main task, and the scope of empty flat cleaning gives a better frame for that. In occupied homes, cabinet interiors may fall outside home cleaning unless you name them separately.
Square metres do not tell the whole story
Two homes of the same size can carry double the workload of one another. The usual reasons are the number and type of surfaces, how densely the space is furnished, how reachable things are, and what kind of soiling is present. A pantry with ten shelves takes longer than a large but empty living room. Whether high units need a ladder, whether furniture will be moved, and whether water and power are available on site all affect the time directly.
Glass behaves the same way: panes of identical size differ greatly depending on sash count, frame condition and how reachable the inner side is. For glass cleaning, the number of panes and access details explain more than a floor area figure. If you notice a mark on glass or on a worktop, avoid diagnosing it yourself; a scratch, a permanent stain and a surface coating can look alike, and telling them apart calls for assessment on site. On coated surfaces and cabinet materials, no method is assumed suitable without knowing the manufacturer's care instructions.
The services in brief
Home cleaning covers living areas; office cleaning covers workspaces, shared areas and toilets, with no handling of electronics or documents. Post-construction cleaning separates coarse debris from fine work. Empty flat cleaning suits pre-move situations, while apartment and site cleaning focuses on stairs and common areas. Villa cleaning sets an order by floor and use, and pool maintenance is not included. Upholstery washing starts with the fabric label, with no stain-removal guarantee. Glass cleaning is limited to reachable surfaces.
Checkpoints before and after
- List which cabinets should be done inside; mark the rest as "outer surface only".
- Agree who empties the contents and where they will be placed.
- Set aside and point out fragile, antique or coated items.
- Mention water and power access and any point that needs a ladder.
- At the end, check that shelves are dry and look at the edges under units.
- Confirm that a separate area was left for items not being put back.

Should I empty the cabinets myself?
This is something to settle beforehand. It is often practical for the resident to remove fragile and personal items; how to handle the rest is clarified when the request is taken.
Which details help most when describing my request?
The number of rooms and wet areas, whether the property is occupied or empty, whether cabinet interiors are wanted, the number of window sashes, the floor and stair situation, and water and power access.
