01
Bond-back guarantee for end-of-lease
Always ask. Without a guarantee, if the agent flags the clean at inspection, you pay someone else to redo it before your bond is released.

Home Services
Residential cleaning in Australia falls into three buckets: regular maintenance (weekly/fortnightly), deep cleans (once-off or seasonal), and end-of-lease (vacate) cleans. Pricing is typically per property size and hours, with end-of-lease cleans priced per scope because failing bond requirements is expensive.
Bond-back guarantees are a big differentiator. A cleaner with a guarantee will return within 3–7 days to fix anything the agent flags. Without it, you're on your own if inspection fails.
What to look for
What separates a good interior cleaning job from a bad one
The differences between quotes usually come down to a few things. None are visible on day one, and all show up later.
02
Carpet steam is usually separate
Most end-of-lease quotes exclude carpet. Add $150–$300 for a 2-bedroom, $300–$500 for a 4-bedroom. Your lease usually requires a receipt.
03
What's typically NOT included
Mould, external windows above ground level, high-reach cleaning, garden clearance, external garage. Ask if unsure.
04
Timing with the move
Book end-of-lease AFTER you've moved out, cleaning around furniture doesn't pass inspection.
05
Insurance
Professional cleaners carry public liability insurance. Handy-person cleaning jobs often don't, you're on the hook if something breaks.

Quotes well below the entry tier usually skip prep work or use lower-grade product. Quotes above the premium tier are worth asking why. Use this as a fairness check, not a bargain hunt.

What affects your quote
What affects your quote
A few factors do most of the work. Use them to decode why two quotes for “the same job” can be hundreds apart.
Property size & bed count
Most cleaners price by beds + bathrooms. A 3x2 house roughly scales 2x a 1x1 unit.
Condition at start
Heavily soiled ovens, grout mould, and built-up grime add hours. Cleaners often upsell after a walk-through.
Add-ons
Carpet steam, external windows, wall washing, and oven deep-clean are usually quoted separately.
Bond-back guarantee
Cleaners with a guarantee charge 10–20% more but return to re-clean if your agent flags issues.
