AT A GLANCE
End of lease cleaning at a glance
A detailed clean of an empty home before you hand back the keys, to a checklist that covers inside the oven, cupboards and wardrobes, interior windows and walls wiped down.
Price
From $423. A 2 bed, 1 bath home is $455, the same price in every city we clean.
See your priceTime
We book 4h 50m of cleaner time for a 2 bed, 1 bath home. A team of two shares it, so they’re on site for about half as long.
Your bond
No cleaner can guarantee your bond back: a claim can also cover rent and damage. What we stand behind is the checklist. Tell us within 48 hours if anything on it was missed, and an eligible re-clean is free under our Care & Cover terms.
Not included
Carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows and mould removal. If your lease asks for a carpet clean, book a carpet cleaner and keep the receipt.

REMOVALISTS, KEYS AND THE INSPECTION
When to book your end of lease clean
Book it for after the removalists have finished and, where you can, a few days before the final inspection. That leaves time to walk through, tell us within 48 hours if anything on the checklist was missed, and have it fixed before the agent arrives.
An empty home
The clean is planned for an empty property, so cupboards, wardrobes and the space behind appliances can be reached. Furniture or boxes left behind limit what can be cleaned.
Power and water on
Keep the electricity and water connected until the clean is done. Without them the clean can’t go ahead, and a fee may apply.
Keys and access
We don’t hold keys. Leave a lockbox code or meet the cleaner, and book any lift, loading dock or visitor access in advance.
Parking
Arrange a visitor space or add parking instructions; where there’s nowhere to park, the clean may need to be rescheduled.
Your agent’s checklist
If your property manager gave you an exit checklist, add it to your booking notes so the cleaner can see what will be inspected.

GOOD TO KNOW BEFOREHAND
Outside the usual scope
Mould removal, hazardous waste, heavy lifting, high-reach areas and chandeliers aren’t part of these domestic cleans. Repairs, pest control and gardening need separate arrangements.
Carpet steam cleaning isn’t part of the clean itself; vacuuming is included. You can add carpet steam cleaning in booking or book it on its own. If your lease asks for a professional carpet clean, keep the receipt.
Regrouting, sealing, exterior windows and other specialist work aren’t part of our cleans. A balcony, patio or garage can be added as an extra; ask the team about anything else before booking.

WHO WE WELCOME INTO YOUR HOME
Experienced cleaners. Thoughtful checks.
We look for people who already know how to clean professionally and are committed to quality service. Our application process checks who they are, how they work and whether they are ready for the services they offer.
Identity verification
Cleaners complete an identity check before they can be approved to take bookings.
Professional cleaning checks
New applicants tell us about their professional cleaning experience, skills and equipment for the services they offer. Answers that need a closer look are flagged for review.
Mandatory safety checks
Every cleaner completes practical safety questions covering cleaning products, surface care and keeping bathroom and kitchen cloths separate. Safety answers that need attention must be resolved before they can take new jobs.
Phone screening
We screen every applicant over the phone before approval.
Online orientation
Our signup flow includes three short cleaning videos with quizzes covering kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.
Quality & ratings checks
Our checks continue after approval. Customers can rate every clean. We closely monitor each cleaner’s ratings and feedback, and follow up when a clean falls short.
A personal quality promise
Each cleaner personally accepts our quality agreement for the services they offer during signup and skills setup. They commit to doing their best to deliver a premium clean and returning at no extra charge if you report a cleaning concern or leave a low rating within 48 hours of your clean ending. The 48 hours is for reporting a concern; the return visit is arranged afterwards.
Team members complete their own checks and make their own quality promise. A team leader’s experience does not replace each cleaner’s personal skills, safety checks or identity verification.
Care & Cover
If something's missed, we come back.
Every clean comes with Care & Cover: our Happiness Guarantee, published insurance cover and a team to turn to.
- 01The Happiness GuaranteeIf something on the booked list isn't right, tell us within 48 hours. We arrange a complimentary re-clean of those areas within seven business days, and if you're still unhappy we review it and offer a fair credit or refund.
- 02Up to $10 million public liability insuranceOur service terms describe up to $10 million in public liability insurance through Chubb Insurance Australia. If something is damaged, send a photo and a reasonable estimate, and it goes through the separate damage and insurance process.
- 03A team to turn toCall 1300 009 363, Monday to Saturday, 9 to 5, or get help online. You pay after your clean, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.
Care & Cover isn't an insurance policy, and conditions apply: a re-clean doesn't apply when a clean couldn't go ahead as booked, such as no access, water or power. Care & Cover, in full · Service terms

About these figures
These figures describe recorded completed end of lease cleans across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and 4 more cities, including historical bookings. Repeat visits count separately, so this counts cleans rather than homes. Your own address and date are checked when you book. Older bookings are grouped by the service they most closely match. Booking amounts for completed end of lease cleans in the last 24 months are taken from the 46 visits that carry an amount; payments have not been reconciled for this summary. Figures are rounded down to the nearest $10 and combine home sizes and frequencies. This is a record of past bookings, not a price list. Home sizes use the 1,716 records that carry a bedroom count; hourly bookings carry none. City percentages use all visits in these records.

Before your end of lease clean: the moving-day list
A smoother handover
starts here.
A few practical things to organise while we take care of the cleaning list.
Read the moving checklist- Book around your move
Choose a date after the removalists and before the inspection. Leave time for any cleaning follow-up before you hand back the keys.
- Empty the property
Remove belongings, rubbish and furniture. Empty cupboards and wardrobes, and prepare any appliances included in the clean.
- Arrange access and utilities
Keep water and electricity connected. Add entry instructions and parking details, and share any agent checklist with the team.
- Check the agreed scope
Confirm carpet steam cleaning or specialist work separately. Tell us about areas needing extra attention before the visit.
End of lease or deep clean?
If the home is empty and you’re handing it back, book end of lease. It adds interior window glass, inside wardrobes and built-ins, and walls wiped down to everything in a deep clean. If you’re staying put, a deep clean is the right reset.
| Task | Deep | End of lease |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen benches, stovetop, sink and splashback | Included | Included |
| Bathrooms, toilets, showers and mirrors | Included | Included |
| Vacuuming and mopping | Included | Included |
| Inside oven | Included | Included |
| Inside fridge | Extra, $46 | Included |
| Inside kitchen cupboards and drawers | Extra, $62 | Included |
| Inside dishwasher and filter | Included | Included |
| Rangehood and filters | Included | Included |
| Tile grout scrubbed | Included | Included |
| Skirting boards and door frames | Included | Included |
| Ceiling fans and light fittings | Included | Included |
| Window sills and tracks | Included | Included |
| Interior window glass | Extra, $93 | Included |
| Inside wardrobes and built-in cupboards | Not included | Included |
| Walls wiped down for marks | Extra, $93 per room | Included |
| Blinds | Extra, $23 per blind | Extra, $23 per blind |
| Balcony or patio | Extra, $70 | Extra, $70 |
| Carpet steam cleaning | Optional extra | Optional extra |
| How often you can book | One-off or every month | One-off |
| Time booked, 2 bed, 1 bath | 3h 43m for one cleaner | 4h 50m for one cleaner |
| One-off price, 2 bed, 1 bath | $361 | $455 |
Inclusions come from the checklist our cleaners work through on every visit of that service, and the extras offered in booking. Prices are AUD per visit from our booking calculator, including GST and the Care & Cover fee, for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras or discount code. Prices are the same in every city we serve. Time booked is for one cleaner; a team of two shares it, so they are on site for about half as long. Regrouting, sealing, mould removal and exterior windows are not part of any clean.
IF SOMETHING IS MISSED
How our re-clean works, step by step
Tell us within 48 hours of the clean finishing. That is the reporting window, not when we come back: an eligible re-clean is then arranged at no charge and, under our terms, completed within seven business days of the original clean.
1. Report it within 48 hours
Send your booking details and the areas that need attention. Photos and your agent’s notes help, and we may ask for them.
2. We check it against your booking
The team compares what you raise with the checklist you booked.
3. We come back to fix it
For an eligible issue, we re-clean those areas at no extra cost, within seven business days of the original clean.
4. Still not right?
We review it again and provide a fair credit or refund, as the terms set out.
What it doesn’t cover
Work outside the checklist you booked, or a clean that couldn’t be finished because there was no access, power or water. And no cleaner can promise your bond back: a claim can also cover rent, damage and other matters, decided against your condition report.
What your lease and state rules ask for
Across Australia, renters are generally expected to leave a rental reasonably clean and in about the same condition as when they moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Your ingoing condition report is the benchmark, so have it handy when you book.
On carpets: in NSW and South Australia a landlord generally can’t require a professional carpet clean unless they agreed to a pet living inside. In Queensland a property manager can’t make you use a particular carpet cleaner or pay a set fee, and carpets go back to the standard they were in at the start. Our city pages summarise each state’s rules and link to the regulator.
Faded paint, worn carpet in a hallway and other fair wear and tear aren’t something cleaning needs to fix. Stains, grease and damage are different.

How long does an end of lease clean take?
We book 4h 50m of cleaner time for a 2 bed, 1 bath home. A team of two shares that time, so they’re on site for about half as long. A heavily used oven, extras and a larger home take longer, and the booking allows for them.
| Home size | One cleaner | A team of two, on site |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bed, 1 bath | 4h 30m | about 2h 15m |
| 2 bed, 1 bath | 4h 50m | about 2h 25m |
| 2 bed, 2 bath | 5h 10m | about 2h 35m |
| 3 bed, 1 bath | 5h 10m | about 2h 35m |
| 3 bed, 2 bath | 5h 30m | about 2h 45m |
| 4 bed, 2 bath | 5h 50m | about 2h 55m |
| 5 bed, 3 bath | 6h 30m | about 3h 15m |
Booked time for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras. A home that needs more attention, and extras, add time. The total labour is the same whether one cleaner or a team does it, and so is the price; a team simply finishes sooner. We do not yet have enough measured visits of this service to publish a measured time.
