Home cleaning companies handle regular or one-off house cleaning with professional crews. In Istanbul hundreds of firms compete, but scope, crew quality and pricing vary widely. This guide gathers what you should know before booking.
What Do Home Cleaning Companies Offer?
Standard cleaning covers sweeping and mopping all rooms, dusting, detailed kitchen and bathroom cleaning, interior windows and rubbish removal. Add-ons typically include deep cleaning, move-in/move-out cleaning, post-construction cleaning, window and balcony cleaning, and villa/residence service. Always ask in writing what is included — "standard" differs by company.
What Determines the Price?
Size of the home, type of clean (standard vs deep), level of dirt, distance and frequency. Weekly contracts lower the unit cost significantly versus one-off cleans. Be cautious with firms quoting a fixed price by phone; serious companies survey first (in person or by video) and give an itemised written quote.
How to Spot a Reliable Company
Four criteria: insured staff; crew continuity (the same team every week); genuine reviews on Google Maps and elsewhere; and proper paperwork — contract and invoice. Avoid firms that cannot provide all four.
What Does Cleaning Day Look Like?
A professional crew arrives with its own equipment and (preferably eco-friendly) supplies and works 3-6 hours in an average flat. You may stay home or hand over a key — in which case insurance and references matter even more. A joint walkthrough at the end resolves any gaps immediately.
Regular or One-off?
For busy households, weekly or fortnightly service is the most efficient: the home never gets out of hand, unit prices drop, and the same crew learns your preferences. One-off deep cleans suit season changes, moves, renovations and pre-guest preparation.
