There is a dark mark on the armrest of the sofa that has been there for years; the fabric colour has shifted around it and the surface feels slightly stiff to the touch. In the same room there is a desk with invoice folders on top and cables underneath. These two spots are where cleaning requests usually get blurry over the phone. For an address in Aşağıkocayatak, Serik, the real issue when agreeing on scope is not how many square metres there are, but whether details like these have been named in advance.
Which jobs belong together
CGS Temizlik's services fall into three rough groups. For living spaces there is home cleaning, villa cleaning and empty flat cleaning; the first covers rooms in daily use, the second follows floors and staircases, the third focuses on cupboard interiors and bare surfaces before a move. For shared and commercial spaces there is office and workplace cleaning plus apartment building and residential complex cleaning. Surface-specific work includes upholstery washing, window cleaning and post-construction cleaning. Pool maintenance is not part of villa cleaning.
Realistic expectations for an old stain
Not every mark on fabric behaves the same way. Soil sitting on the surface is different from a stain that has soaked into the fibres, dried over time, or been treated earlier with another product. Stating with certainty what caused a stain, or whether the fabric has lost colour permanently, is not something that can be judged from a glance; it needs on-site assessment. The method also depends on the manufacturer's care label: if there is no label or it is unreadable, the choice of method becomes more cautious.
For this reason upholstery washing is not offered with a promise that the stain will disappear. A realistic expectation is this: general soiling is reduced, odour and surface texture change, while an old stain may fade or may stay as it is. Drying requires ventilation, so choosing a time when the sofa will not be in heavy use that day makes things easier.
Workload is more than floor area
Two spaces of the same size can require very different amounts of work. Concrete factors that increase the load include the thickness of grease or limescale build-up, the number of cupboards and shelves to be emptied, curtains to be taken down and rehung, a high density of small objects, floors without a lift, limited access to water or electricity, and several different flooring types in one place. In a post-construction area, removing dust in stages and softening paint or mortar residue without harming the surface is a separate item. Mentioning these in advance lets the scope and team arrangement be set correctly from the start.
Around documents and electronics
This is the clearest boundary in workplace cleaning. Stacks of paper, open files, signed documents and unlabelled boxes are not sorted, rearranged or discarded. Document destruction and paperwork organisation are not cleaning services. The same logic applies to computers, printers, server cabinets and cable runs: outer surfaces can be dusted dry, devices are not opened, and no electronic repair is carried out. The most practical solution is collecting sensitive paperwork in a closed drawer and marking the desks that should be left alone. The same approach applies to personal documents and jewellery in home cleaning.
Checkpoints before and after
- Find the sofa's care label; if there is none, say so beforehand.
- Mention any product already applied to the stain.
- Leave a note on desks, cupboards and shelves to be left untouched.
- Share water and electricity access, floor level and lift availability.
- Review the dried surfaces together in daylight when the work ends.

What if the old stain does not come out?
This possibility is discussed before washing; even when the overall look improves, a mark can remain. Whether a further attempt is worth the risk to the fabric is decided on site.
Can I ask for the papers on my desk to be cleared?
Organising paperwork is outside the service. The safest approach is to gather the papers yourself and place them somewhere closed, so the desk surface can be cleaned freely.
