CANBERRA · LOCAL SCOPE

What an exit clean involves in Canberra

Canberra's climate does more to an exit clean than its housing stock does. Genuinely cold winters plus well-sealed homes drive condensation, and that shows up as mould on window reveals, in wardrobes, along silicone lines and behind furniture that has sat against an external wall all winter. It is the flag we see most often here and it is rarely on the tenant's radar until the inspection. Ducted gas heating is close to standard across the ACT, so vents and return-air grilles collect dust that agents check. Townhouses and apartments through Belconnen, Gungahlin and the Inner North are a large share of the rental market and bring shared-complex rules and small courtyards, while the older inner suburbs have free-standing brick homes with larger gardens. Wood heaters still appear in some established suburbs and need to be declared at booking. Summer brings the opposite problem, with dry dust and pollen loading flyscreens and window tracks.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few things
you might be wondering.

Ask us anything
01Does this guarantee my bond will be returned?
No. Our promise covers eligible re-cleaning of the agreed scope, with issues reported within 48 hours after the clean. Your bond can also depend on rent, damage and other tenancy matters outside cleaning. Read the Care & Cover terms for the conditions.
02Can I book this before moving into a home?
Yes, this service also suits an empty home before you move in. Arrange the clean before furniture arrives and confirm access, water and electricity.
03Is carpet steam cleaning included?
Vacuuming is included. Carpet steam cleaning is an optional extra, priced separately where offered in booking. Check your lease or agent’s requirements and confirm what you need before choosing extras.

End of Lease Clean FAQs — Canberra

Do you guarantee my bond back in Canberra?

We guarantee the clean. Anything in our scope that your agent flags within 48 hours of the clean, we return and re-clean at no charge. The bond itself is not something a cleaner can guarantee, since claims can also cover rent, damage or garden maintenance.

Can you remove winter mould before my final inspection?

Yes, and in Canberra this is the most common thing we are called for. Surface mould on window reveals, sills, silicone, tiles and inside wardrobes is treated as part of the exit clean. Where mould has come from a building fault such as failed seals or no extraction fan, that is a repair issue for the lessor and we will tell you rather than scrub something that returns in a fortnight.

How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Canberra?

The full price is shown online before booking, based on property size and condition, with no in-home quote. Pricing is national, so a Canberra exit clean is priced the same as the equivalent job in Sydney.

Do you clean heating vents and ducts?

We clean accessible vent covers and return-air grilles as part of the exit clean, which covers what agents inspect in a ducted-gas home. Full internal duct cleaning is specialist work with its own equipment and is not part of a bond clean, so we will not charge you for it as if it were.

How early should I book around end of a posting or semester?

Earlier than you would in most cities. Canberra lease turnover clusters heavily around public service posting cycles and university semester ends, so late January and late June get tight quickly. As soon as you know your vacate date, book the clean for after the removalists finish.
