Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of lease cleaning cost?

Most end of lease cleans in Australia range from $100–$350 depending on property size, location, and whether carpet cleaning is included. A 1-bedroom apartment typically costs $100–$180, while a 4-bedroom house can reach $280–$350.

Do I need a professional cleaner for end of lease?

Yes, most landlords and property managers require a professional cleaning service with a certificate of completion. This protects your bond and ensures the property meets the required condition for the final inspection.

What's the difference between a regular clean and end of lease clean?

End of lease cleaning is more thorough than a regular domestic clean. It includes oven deep-cleans, rangehood filters, inside cupboards, grout restoration, wall spot-cleaning, and often carpet steam cleaning. It must meet the standard you agreed to when you moved in.

How long does end of lease cleaning take?

A standard 2-bedroom property typically takes 3–5 hours for a professional team. Larger properties or those requiring heavy stain removal can take 6–8 hours. Booking in advance ensures you get the time slot you need before handover.
