Most people booking a clean know the floor area of the place. What the crew usually asks first, though, is whether the water and power are on and who will open the door. For a flat, an office or a newly handed-over unit in Orta mahallesi, Serik, these three points decide whether the job runs the way it was planned.
Settling water, power and entry before the day
In a home that is lived in, none of this is usually an issue. It changes with an empty flat whose utilities have been closed, a workplace shut for a long time, or a unit where construction has just finished. No water at the tap, a tripped or disconnected fuse box, or a key still held by an agent can push part of the work outside the agreed scope. When you give the address, it helps to state separately: are water and electricity on, who holds the key, does the building entrance have time restrictions, is the lift usable.
With no power, hand methods replace machine-based ones and the scope is set accordingly. With no water, work that can be done using carried water is separated from work that cannot. Discuss this while defining scope, not on the morning itself. For empty flat cleaning, these two items often define the scope itself.
Square metres alone do not describe the workload
Two places of the same size may need different time and a different order of work. The factors that usually make the difference:
- Furnished or empty; whether the insides of cupboards are included
- How many wet areas; whether hob, extractor hood and oven are wanted
- Number of floors and stairs; a villa is sequenced differently from a single level
- Dust condition: ordinary household dust, or a case needing the coarse-debris and fine-cleaning split of post-construction cleaning
- Number of windows, frame condition, and whether the glass can be reached safely
Describing these in advance shapes a realistic scope far more than the area figure does.
What to expect from old stains in upholstery
Whether a long-standing stain will lift cannot be promised in advance. What the stain is, the fabric type, any product applied earlier, and whether colour has already lightened are all assessed on site. No method is assumed suitable without reading the manufacturer's care label; if the label has been removed, say so early. Upholstery cleaning carries no stain-removal guarantee. The aim is the best achievable improvement with a method suited to the fabric, plus ventilation planned so drying goes properly.
The same caution applies to hard surfaces. Whether a mark on glass is a scratch, mineral residue or a change in a coating is not something to judge by eye or by running a fingernail over it; that distinction needs an expert look in place.
The services in brief
Home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas; office cleaning covers work and shared areas and toilets, with no handling of documents or electronics. Post-construction, empty flat, apartment and site common areas, and villa cleaning each need a different order of work; pool care is not included in villa work. Upholstery and window cleaning depend on surface condition, and risky external facade work is not undertaken.
Checkpoints before and after
- Confirm water and power by testing a tap and the fuse box.
- Decide who provides the key or entry permission.
- Set aside breakables, paperwork and electronics as outside the scope.
- Empty any cupboards that are to be included.
- At the end, agree how to move around wet floors and drying fabrics.
Can the work go ahead if the water is off?
Part of it can. Tasks possible with carried water are separated out and the rest waits until supply is restored. Mention the situation by phone so this can be decided beforehand.
How soon can a sofa be used after washing?
It depends on the fabric, ventilation and humidity; no fixed time is given. Being able to open windows and leaving no covers on the sofa helps it dry.
