The Istanbul Standard, Delivered to Your Doorstep
Founded in 2018 by a team of former hotel housekeeping managers, cleanhomy was born from a simple, overlooked observation: residential cleaning lacked the precision and care of premium hospitality. We bridged that gap.
Our namesake—a portmanteau of ‘clean’ and ‘homey’—is our core mission. We don’t just remove dirt; we leave your space feeling like a sanctuary, meticulously cared for and genuinely welcoming.
We serve the greater Istanbul area, with a deep, practical understanding of the city’s unique climate, dust, and architecture. Every cleaner is a full-time, vetted employee trained in our proprietary methods, ensuring the consistent quality and accountability a franchise model can never provide.
Our 'Istanbul Standard' is a 47-point checklist for every room.
Our Methodology: The 47-Point Sanctuary Protocol
This isn't a vague promise of 'clean'—it's a documented, repeatable system. Think of it as a technical manual for domestic hygiene, divided into four distinct phases to ensure nothing is missed and every surface is treated correctly.
1 Prep
- • Ventilation check & window opening for airflow.
- • Surface protection for delicate materials (wood, stone).
- • Survey of client-specific needs (pets, allergies, fragile items).
Constraint
No ammonia-based products on natural stone surfaces. We use a pH-neutral alternative.
2 Clean (Top-to-Bottom, Dry-to-Wet)
- • Ceiling fixtures, corners, and high dusting first.
- • Dusting before vacuuming to capture airborne particles.
- • Surfaces cleaned in a logical sequence to prevent re-soiling.
Micro-Scenario
For allergy-sensitive clients, we activate the HEPA vacuuming phase on all upholstery and carpets.
3 Detail & Disinfect
- • High-touch points: handles, switches, railings, remote controls.
- • Baseboards, crevices, and fixture polishing.
- • Targeted disinfection based on room usage (bathrooms, kitchens).
Pitfall Avoided
The 'swirl mark' on glass. Our technique uses a specific squeegee angle and distilled water rinse.
4 Final Refresh
- • Odor neutralization (non-chemical, botanical-based).
- • Linen refresh (vacuuming/upholstery fluffing).
- • Trash removal and replacement liner placement.
- • Equipment sanitization before leaving.
Equipment Protocol
Microfiber cloths are color-coded by room to prevent cross-contamination. All tools are sanitized between clients.
A Commitment to Your Home's Ecosystem
We believe a clean home shouldn't compromise the health of its occupants or the environment. Our 'clean with conscience' principle guides every product choice and procedure.
Decision Lens: How to Choose Your Clean
What It Optimizes For
Long-term indoor air quality, safety for children/pets, sustainable supply chain.
What It Requires
Slightly longer dwell time for disinfection (we adjust the schedule).
Key Consideration
Natural ingredients are highly effective but require the correct dwell time; this is communicated in our prep phase.
Terms We Use Differently
We partner with a local Turkish supplier for our citrus and olive oil-based cleaners.
The Trade-off We Embrace
- • Benefit: Plant-based disinfectants are safe for pets and children post-drying.
- • Cost: They require a longer contact time (5-7 minutes) than bleach.
- • Mitigation: Our protocol schedules cleaning in phases, allowing dwell time to work effectively without delaying your schedule.
The People Behind the Polish

Our Vetting Process
- • 3-stage process: Background check, practical test, cultural fit interview.
- • Focus on respect, discretion, and a strong work ethic.
- • We hire for potential and invest in full-time employment with benefits.
The Uniform
The simple dark blue apron is a symbol of professionalism and pride, not a corporate logo. It’s about the work, not the branding.
Our Community Footprint
We are a local business, woven into the fabric of Istanbul. Our responsibility extends beyond your front door.
We prioritize hiring from the neighborhoods we serve, reducing commute times and fostering local employment.
We donate 1% of every move-in/out cleaning to local beach cleanup efforts in the Marmara region.
Our team volunteers to clean public spaces like local parks or community centers.
We support local artisans and designers, sourcing our office and promotional materials from Istanbul-based businesses.
