Using one cloth for the kitchen counter, a wooden cabinet door and a bathroom tap becomes a habit in many homes. The trouble usually starts not at the end of the job but in how it was described: if nobody agrees which tool touches which surface, both the result and the scope are left to guesswork. When arranging cleaning at an address in Yeşilvadi (Serik), settling these distinctions in advance makes the working time and the excluded items far clearer.
A short frame of the services
CGS Temizlik's scopes can be summarised briefly: home cleaning covers kitchen, bathroom and living areas, while office cleaning covers workspaces and shared areas. Post-construction cleaning separates coarse debris from fine cleaning; empty flat cleaning addresses cabinet interiors, floors and water-electricity access. Apartment and site cleaning focuses on common areas, villa cleaning on floor and staircase order. Upholstery washing and glass cleaning need their own preparation.
Matching tools to surfaces
Separating cloths and attachments exists to stop one kind of soil travelling to another area. A cloth used in the bathroom should not move to the kitchen, and keeping floor mops apart from counter cloths is easier with a colour or box system. Hard floors, carpet, wood, painted surfaces, stainless steel and glass may not tolerate the same method. Whether a product suits a surface cannot be stated with certainty without the manufacturer's care instructions, so mention any labels, coating types or flooring documents you hold. Upholstery follows the same logic: the fabric label is examined before a method is chosen, and stain removal is not promised.
Protection decisions in an occupied home
In furnished homes much of the work is deciding what to protect before anything is cleaned. Some homes have breakable objects on open shelves, others have polished wood or coated furniture; this is not true of every home, so tell us if it applies to yours. Clearing small decorative items, avoiding wet work around electronics, and limiting delicate surfaces to a damp cloth are decisions taken before starting. The cause of a mark, dullness or colour difference cannot be guessed without looking at it in place; scratches, stains and worn coatings can look alike, so telling them apart requires expert assessment. If an area looks doubtful, leaving it untouched and discussing it is safer than testing on it.
Glass scope: both faces, tracks and frames
The most commonly skipped point is what "glass cleaning" actually includes. The inner face, outer face, frame and track are separate items of work. Whether the outer face can be reached safely depends on how the window opens and where it sits; risky façade or height work is not in scope. Dust and sand in tracks often need to be lifted dry first, since wetting them directly can turn them to mud that settles into the joints. If there are insect screens, blinds or shutters, whether they will be removed must be agreed separately.
Check points before and after
- Before: a list of delicate furniture and coatings, any care instructions you hold, water and power access.
- Before: which glass faces, frames and tracks are wanted; the state of insect screens.
- Before: areas not to be touched, breakables to be cleared, arrangements for pets.
- After: review track and frame corners, cabinet tops and bathroom joints.
- After: ventilate surfaces left damp and check floors for slipping risk.
Can the outer face of the glass always be cleaned?
No. The opening type of the window and safe access decide it; where access is not safe, that face is left out of scope.
My furniture surface looks dull, will cleaning fix it?
The reason cannot be stated without seeing it in place. Cleaning does not cover restoring a worn coating or a scratched surface.
