Dirty water running off a balcony railing lands on a living room floor that was mopped an hour earlier, and the work starts over. When planning cleaning for a flat or a residential block in Burmahancı, Serik, the decision that changes the outcome most is the order of tasks. Below is how balcony, interior glass and floor work can be sequenced without one undoing the other, and how that connects to the limits you agree with building management.
CGS Temizlik is based at Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd No109/D Kepez/Antalya. Scope is discussed by phone according to address, floor, access and the size of the job: 0537 4450191.
Which task comes first
The general principle is to move dirt from top to bottom and from outside to inside. A sequence that often works: overhead balcony surfaces, railing and balcony floor first; then interior glass and frames; interior floors last. That way the drips from glass work fall on a floor not yet cleaned.
This order does not suit every home. If dust comes in while the balcony door stays open, cleaning interior glass before the balcony is finished makes little sense. If the balcony is enclosed and ventilated separately, the two areas can progress independently. When textiles are washed, the damp pieces are handled before floor work and set aside to dry. On wood, laminate or natural stone, the method and the amount of moisture depend on the surface; if the manufacturer's care instructions are unknown, saying so in advance saves time.
Agreeing the common-area boundary
Work inside the flat and work in shared space often blur together. Who requests cleaning of the entrance glass, the lift car, the landing window, the stair railing, and with what scope? If that is not settled with management beforehand, the team waits at the door.
Concrete points worth raising: where water and electricity can be drawn, where waste is left, whether the lift may be used, and a clear statement if no task requiring facade or roof access is being requested. Stairs and entrance handled as a separate job fall under apartment and residential complex cleaning; glass and frames inside the flat fall under glass cleaning.
Matching the order to foot traffic
Wet stairs during the busiest hour are both unsafe and inefficient. Landings can be done in sections, leaving one side walkable while the other dries. Entrance glass and door handles are touched most during the day, so they often fit near the end. Management usually knows the quieter hours; sharing that shapes the plan directly.
Checkpoints before and after
- Are water and electricity working, and where are the tap and socket?
- Anything on the balcony that cannot be moved, such as planters or fragile items?
- Floor type and any known care instructions.
- Look together at scratches, dull marks or coating traces on glass, frames and screens before work starts; their cause and whether they can be removed needs expert assessment on site, not a home test.
- Afterwards: corners, under frames, balcony drain, and whether floors have dried.
Choosing the scope
In short: home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office cleaning covers work and shared areas, with no handling of electronics or documents. Post-construction work separates coarse debris from fine dust. Empty flat cleaning focuses on cupboard interiors and floors. Villa cleaning is ordered by floor and use, and pool maintenance is not included. For upholstery, the fabric label decides the method.
Can balcony and interior glass be done the same day?
Usually yes, but the balcony is finished first. On a windy or dusty day, glass cleaned with the balcony open can streak quickly.
What should I ask management for shared-area work?
Water and power points, where waste may be left, lift permission, and the hours when the stairs are least used.
