Those who have spent time living in Turkey will know that hiring a cleaner to visit your home is a fairly common practice. While it might not be feasible to do so in many countries, foreigners in Turkey often find it fairly priced and appreciate that it provides a direct line of employment to individuals who benefit from the work. In a fast-paced city like Istanbul, it can often be of much needed assistance to have one additional thing crossed off your list.
However, hiring a reliable cleaner is also often a complicated process, largely relying on word of mouth and local networks often inaccessible to foreigners, and with no meaningful mechanisms in place to learn more about the person entering your home. Trusting someone to be left alone in one’s place of residence can be difficult for some, and there’s certainly a fair share of experiences shared online that indicate this doesn’t always go well.
We recently tried out the services of Diaspolis Cleaning, a new project launched by the recently repatriated Istanbullu and entrepreneur İrem Eryılmaz. Her vision is the realization of a project she’s long had in mind, bringing professional care with a local touch to the home cleaning landscape of Istanbul under the guiding philosophy of, “You take care of yourself while we take care of your house.”
The multilingual administrative team works with clients in English, French, and Turkish to ensure they receive a cleaning package meeting their needs, with several options to choose from including standard, detailed, and post-construction options. The standard option provides window cleaning and other glass surfaces like shower cabins, mirrors, etc., as well as all surfaces, floors, and doors with both dry and wet cleaning. Other fine touches like the outside of kitchen and bathroom cabinets are also included.
More comprehensive packages offer a more detail-oriented cleaning, and can be particularly useful when moving in and out of apartments, as well as for professional spaces like offices. Services like cleaning lap joints, sofas, curtains, carpets, and more are also available as add-ons.
Each cleaning team is properly vetted to ensure they are trustworthy and professional, and sent out alongside a supervisor who monitors the entire process and makes sure everything goes smoothly from start to finish. All the equipment and cleaning materials necessary for the day’s work are brought by the team, so the host can feel comfortable leaving the team to their work and go about their day as usual.
For those living in Istanbul and interested in learning more about their options or getting a free price quote for their home or office, you can fill out our form below. Be sure to include any relevant details. Someone from their administrative team will be in touch shortly after.
