FAQs
What is the difference between end of lease cleaning and regular cleaning?
Regular scheduled cleaning is about maintaining a hygienic and comfortable day-to-day environment. However, end of lease cleaning focuses on restoring the property and preparing it for a new start — which is why it’s a much more intensive and thorough cleaning process.
As an example, regular cleaning may involve mopping the floors and wiping down tables. End of lease cleaning, however, might include cleaning in and around cabinets, steam cleaning carpets and curtains, washing hard-to-reach windows and so on.
Is end of lease cleaning strictly required?
According to the government of South Australia, you must clean and tidy the rental property that you are vacating before handover. It is generally accepted that tenants should at least restore the property to the same condition it was in when they moved in. Tenants that leave the property in poor condition risk having their bond forfeited to pay for cleanup and restoration.
Can I do end of lease cleaning myself?
You certainly can clean and tidy a rental property yourself, especially if you haven’t been in residence for long or if it’s a small space. However, if extensive cleaning is required or if the property is very large, restoring it to its prior condition can be much more complicated without specialised equipment and dedicated teams. This is when it can be helpful to engage experienced professional bond cleaning services in Adelaide.
What does end of lease cleaning usually involve?
End of lease cleaning can encompass many different types of services. Since the primary aim is to restore your rented property to its original condition, the services that may be required to do so may vary depending on what amenities are available and what changes you made. Our most-requested services include general cleanup, specialised cleaning for carpets, floors, windows and surfaces, bathroom and kitchen sanitisation, waste removal and more.
How long does end of lease cleaning take?
This is also highly variable, but for comparison purposes, we typically take 8-9 hours for a standard commercial property. However, do speak to our end of lease cleaning teams to get a more accurate quote with estimated timelines and costs. We can also work around your schedule to ensure minimal disruption to your operations while cleaning is ongoing.
Can you do same-day end of lease cleaning?
We can certainly respond to a request for a quote on the same day and even dispatch a team, but completion depends on the size of the job and the level of cleaning needed — for instance, the time taken for a residential home cleaning may be much shorter than a multi-level commercial building. Consult our end of lease cleaning professionals in Adelaide for more details.
Do you offer fixed cleaning packages or is there room for flexibility?
We know the scope for end of lease cleaning can vary widely, so we pride ourselves on offering a fully customisable vacate cleaning checklist. You can tell us exactly what you want cleaned and how many rooms, and we can tailor a quote for you. We charge by hour and a minimum of four hours booked is required.
I don’t know what types of cleaning services I need. Can you help me?
Certainly! Our Adelaide bond cleaning team can visit your site and do an inspection to assess the situation. We can then advise you on what services you might need to achieve satisfactory results and secure your deposit. Alternatively, some real estate agents may also provide a checklist that you can use as a reference to customise your vacate cleaning checklist with us.
