Picture two calls about the same flat. In the first: "the living room windows are dirty and the kitchen is greasy." In the second: "the walls were painted two weeks ago and there is a fine layer of dust on top of the cupboards." Both are cleaning requests, yet the tools, the time and the working order are not the same. For an address in Karıncalı mahallesi in Serik, what defines the job is its content, not its label. If you can describe what dominates in your home before speaking with CGS Temizlik, the scope is set correctly from the start.
Renovation residue versus lived-in dirt
Everyday dirt comes from use: grease in the kitchen, limescale and soap marks in the bathroom, foot traffic on floors. It sits on surfaces and returns at regular intervals. Dust left after renovation behaves differently; it stays airborne, settles again and works its way into cupboards, socket edges, behind radiators and into window channels. Paint, plaster or grout residue is a separate matter from dust, since scraping hardened material carries surface risk and needs to be judged on site.
A practical threshold is the question: has there been demolition, sanding, painting or tiling in the last six months? If yes, discuss post-construction cleaning; if no, home cleaning is the frame. The two can also combine. If only the bathroom was renewed, that room may be treated as fine cleaning while the rest stays standard.
Describing a special request clearly
A special request is more than saying "please be careful." A useful description names the room, the surface, the type of mark and whatever you know about that surface. Is the floor parquet or laminate, is the counter natural stone, does the furniture have a veneer, is there film on the glass? If you have the manufacturer's care instructions, share them; without them, method choice is left to on-site assessment. Whether a mark on glass is a scratch, coating wear or a lasting stain cannot be settled by looking or touching. That distinction needs expert inspection, and the approach changes with the answer.
The same logic applies to upholstery. Before sofa cleaning, a readable care label, the nature of the stain and how long it has been there all shape the method, and a stain may not come out.
Work order in an empty flat
Cleaning before furniture arrives follows a different sequence from an occupied home. A sensible order usually runs top to bottom and inside out: cupboard interiors and shelves, then kitchen and bathroom fittings and tiles, then windows, floors last. Washing floors early only means repeating them as dust falls from above. When planning empty flat cleaning, confirm in advance whether water and electricity are on; if both are off, the scope narrows.
Other working areas
In offices and workplaces, desks, shared areas and toilets are covered, while electronics and documents stay outside the work. In apartment buildings and housing sites, stairs, landings, entrances and shared areas are included, with a passage plan for wet floors. In villas, the order across floors, rooms, stairs and glass follows how the house is used; pool maintenance is not included. Window cleaning covers reachable glass and frames.
Checklist before and after
- Before: note the floor, number of rooms, whether it is empty, and any renovation history.
- Before: check water, electricity, lift and parking access.
- Before: list delicate surfaces and items, with care instructions if you have them.
- After: look at cupboard interiors, window channels and behind radiators.
- After: point out anything you find missing while the team is still there.
Renovation touched only one room; does the whole flat need fine cleaning?
Possibly not. Work done behind a closed door usually spreads dust in a limited way. Scope can be defined room by room, so mention the shared corridor and the direction of air conditioning or ventilation.
Should furniture go into an empty flat first, or cleaning?
Cupboard interiors and floors are far easier to clean before furniture arrives, so cleaning first is sensible. To discuss details, call 0537 4450191; the main address is Sütçüler Mahallesi 15 Temmuz Şehitler Cd No109/D Kepez/Antalya, and scope is agreed according to the address and access.
