A window can look spotless from inside and still show streaks from the garden side. Or both faces may be done while the sand in the bottom track and the build-up along the frame edge keep drawing the eye. In Büğüş, a neighbourhood of the Serik district in Antalya, most people asking about glass cleaning are really describing three separate jobs: the inner face, the outer face and the joinery itself. This guide separates them so you can define the work in your own words.
Two faces, tracks and frames are not one job
Naming three items separately makes the scope clear. The inner face is usually reachable from inside at normal height. The outer face depends on the opening type, on access from a balcony or the ground, and on whether the sash turns inward; if it does not, the outer face may not be possible during the same visit. Tracks and frames are a separate item: the grit collected in sliding channels does not come out with the same method used on glass, and needs dry removal first, then suitable damp work.
If you see a mark, haze or line on the glass, it is more accurate to say "this pane has a mark that stays" rather than "there is a scratch". Scratches, mineral deposits, applied film and factory coatings can look alike, and telling them apart calls for an on-site expert assessment. On coated or special glazing, no method is assumed suitable without knowing the manufacturer's care instructions, so questionable surfaces are seen first and decided afterwards. Scope detail sits on the glass cleaning page.
Why floors and large panes are planned separately
In a multi-storey or wide-fronted building, it helps to talk section by section instead of treating the property as one block. This is not a rule for every home here; it only applies when the layout actually calls for it. In such a case, decide in advance which floors are included, whether stairs and landings are covered, and whether the large fixed panes on the living-room front count as a separate item. No commitment is given upfront for sections at height or on the outer facade; access is judged on site. Villa cleaning does not include pool maintenance.
Water, power and entry on the day
These are the usual sticking points, especially in emptied flats. With the meter off, wet cleaning and rinsing cannot be done; without power, vacuuming and machine work are limited. Keys, site entry permission, lift use and a parking spot should also be settled beforehand. For pre-move scope, see empty flat cleaning.
Short checklist
- Number of windows, and how many need the outer face
- Opening type of each sash; any fixed panes
- Whether tracks and frames are included
- Any coated, filmed or already marked glass
- Water and power on, and who holds the key
- A final check in daylight, from more than one angle
The eight services in brief
Home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office work covers desks, shared areas and toilets, with no handling of electronics or documents. Post-construction separates coarse debris from fine dust work. Empty flats include cupboard interiors, bathroom, kitchen and floors. Apartment and site work covers stairs, landings and entrances. Villa work sets a floor-by-floor order. Upholstery washing starts with the fabric label; stain removal is not guaranteed. Glass cleaning covers reachable surfaces.
Can the outer face always be cleaned?
No. The sash type, safe access from a balcony or ground level, and the surface condition decide it; no promise is made for risky heights.
Are tracks included with the glass?
Tracks and frames count as a separate item. State it when the address and access are discussed: 0537 4450191.
