The renters guide to end-of-lease cleaning

End Of Lease Cleaners

The last thing you want to think about when you’re moving house is the cleaning. But if you want your bond back you’re going to have to exert some elbow grease – or save your time and energy and get someone else to do the end of lease cleaning for you.

You’ll forgo your bond unless you leave your rental property spick and span for the next tenant. Bond money is normally equivalent to a full month’s rent so is worth cleaning for! It will no doubt come in handy at moving time due to the long list of moving expenses.

End of lease cleaning costs

Sometimes you need to spend a little in order to save and this is definitely the case when it comes to hiring professionals to do your end of lease cleaning.

End of lease cleaners on www.rightcarpetcleaning.com.au start from just $15 per hour, with the average hourly rate around the $30 mark. If you’re after an all inclusive package you can expect to pay a flat fee of $250.

What do you get for your money?

For $250 you’ll get an average sized two-bedroom place scrubbed from top to bottom – including that all-important toilet, oven and stove top.

In addition to the “basics,” this amount typically includes your doors, walls and windows spot cleaned, as well as carpet cleaning.

Quotes obviously vary according to the size of the house and the extent of the work needing to be done. For a larger three-bedroom house expect to pay around the $400 mark.

And don’t be frightened into thinking you’ll be forking out for a complete two days of work for an end of lease clean. While it may take you that long to get your place in order, a professional will power through it in a fraction of the time.
