What agents actually check

Bonds don’t get withheld over dust. They get withheld over four things.

Agents in NSW inspect against your entry condition report, not against how clean the place looks. That’s a specific standard, and it’s why a house that looks spotless can still fail.

In practice, the same four areas account for most withheld bonds — and they’re the four that get skipped by a general clean or a rushed weekend effort.

The oven

The single most common failure. Baked-on carbon on the door glass, the racks and the base needs proper degreasing and time to work, not a wipe on the day.

Rangehood filters

Almost nobody thinks to remove them. Agents lift them out and check. Perished or clogged filters get replaced rather than scrubbed, because scrubbing won’t save them.

Window tracks and blinds

Tracks collect grit that a vacuum won’t lift and blinds have to be done slat by slat. Both get checked, and both are obvious when they’ve been missed.

Skirtings, frames and switches

The horizontal surfaces at knee height and the marks around light switches. Nobody looks at them daily, and every agent looks at them at inspection.

Room by room

What gets cleaned in a bond clean

The full scope, so you can check it against whatever your agent has sent you.

Kitchen

Oven, grill, racks, rangehood, filters, cooktop, splashback, benchtops, sink and tapware, all cupboards and drawers inside and out.

Bathrooms

Shower screens descaled, grout, tiles, bath, vanity, mirrors, tapware, toilet inside and behind, exhaust fan covers.

Bedrooms

Wardrobes and shelves inside and out, mirrored doors, tracks, skirtings, light fittings and switches.

Living areas

Floors, skirtings, door frames, power points, light switches, ceiling fans and air vents.

Windows & blinds

Interior glass, sills, tracks vacuumed and wiped out, blinds cleaned slat by slat.

Laundry

Tub, tapware, cupboards, behind and under the machines, dryer lint filters, floor.

Floors

Hard floors vacuumed and mopped, carpets vacuumed. Steam cleaning available where the lease requires it.

Balcony & garage

Swept and wiped down, cobwebs removed, floors cleared of marks where they’ll lift.

The advantage of one company

A bond clean only works on an empty house

The most common reason an exit clean goes badly has nothing to do with the cleaning. It’s that the cleaners arrived while the house was still half full — a bed frame in the second bedroom, a pile of things nobody decided about, boxes in the garage.

Cleaners can’t clean under furniture that’s still there, and they generally won’t move it. So those areas get skipped, the agent finds them, and the bond gets clipped for exactly the parts that weren’t accessible.

Because we do the move and the rubbish removal too, we can run the three jobs in the right order on the right days: furniture out, then anything that isn’t coming with you cleared, then the clean into a genuinely empty property. One coordinator books all three, so no one is waiting on anyone else.

If you’re moving with someone else and cleaning with us, that’s completely fine — just tell us when the last item leaves and we’ll schedule around it.

Pricing

End of lease cleaning Sydney prices

Bond cleans are quoted as a fixed price based on bedrooms, bathrooms and condition — not hourly. You know the number before anyone starts, and it doesn’t climb if the oven takes longer than expected.

Size

Bedrooms and bathrooms. Bathrooms take longer per room than anything else.

Condition

A well-kept two-year tenancy is a different job from a neglected one.

Carpet

Steam cleaning is usually a lease requirement, especially if pets were kept.

Oven and appliances

Heavy build-up needs longer soaking, not harder scrubbing.

Extras

Exterior windows, garage, balcony, wall washing or a full property clear-out.

Timing

End of month is the busiest window in the calendar for exit cleans.

Why the cheapest bond clean usually isn’t

An end of lease clean priced well under everyone else is priced for a general clean. The oven gets wiped rather than degreased, the filters stay in the rangehood, the tracks don’t get touched. Then the agent inspects, the bond gets clipped, and you’re paying twice for one job.

The number that matters is what you get back, not what you paid. A withheld bond in Sydney routinely runs into four figures, which is several times the difference between the cheapest quote and a proper one. Ask any cleaner two questions: is the oven included, and do you come back free if the agent flags something.

Add-ons

Carpet steam cleaning and the extras leases ask for

Most Sydney leases require professional carpet cleaning at the end of a tenancy, and a lot of agents want to see the receipt. It’s the add-on people most often forget until the inspection — check your lease before booking, because it’s cheaper to include it now than to be sent back for it later.

Carpet steam cleaning

Hot water extraction with a receipt for your agent. Required by most leases, and always where pets were kept.

Pest treatment

Many leases require flea treatment after pets. Arranged alongside the clean where your lease calls for it.

Exterior windows

Ground-floor exterior glass, and higher where it can be reached safely.

Wall washing

Beyond spot-cleaning, for tenancies where the marks are more than a few scuffs.

How it works

How an exit clean runs

  1. Tell us the property

    Bedrooms, bathrooms, carpet and your inspection date. Fixed quote back within two hours.

  2. Book after the last item leaves

    We schedule the clean for an empty property, and we can run the move and clear-out beforehand if you want.

  3. Cleaned to the checklist

    Room by room against the standard your agent inspects to, with the oven, filters and tracks done properly.

  4. Inspection, and a free re-clean

    If the agent flags something within 72 hours, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Why UNN

Four things most bond cleaners won’t give you

  1. Free 72-hour re-clean

    If your agent flags something we missed, we return and fix it at no charge.

  2. On-time guarantee

    A firm arrival time. When the inspection is booked for tomorrow, this matters more than anything.

  3. No cancellation fees

    Handover moved again? Reschedule at no charge, as often as you need to.

  4. One dedicated coordinator

    The same person across the move, the clear-out and the clean. Nobody waits on anyone.

Coverage

End of lease cleaning near you, anywhere in Sydney

Searching for end of lease cleaning near me usually means the inspection is close and the date is fixed. We cover every suburb in the Sydney metro from our Parramatta base, and end-of-month slots go first — so book as soon as you have a handover date, even a provisional one. Most of our exit cleans are apartments, which brings its own timing: Sydney bond cleaners working in a tower need the same lift and dock access as a removalist does. Tell us the building when you book and we’ll work around its rules rather than around them.

Questions

Bond cleaning questions, answered

How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Sydney?
It’s a fixed price based on bedrooms, bathrooms and the condition of the property, not an hourly rate. Bathrooms take longer per room than anything else, and a neglected tenancy takes considerably longer than a well-kept one. Carpet steam cleaning is quoted separately because not every lease requires it. Give us the bedroom and bathroom count and we’ll come back with a fixed number within two hours.
What is the difference between a bond clean and a regular clean?
Scope, mainly. A regular clean covers the surfaces you see every day. A bond clean is measured against your entry condition report, so it includes the things nobody cleans routinely — inside the oven, rangehood filters, window tracks, inside every cupboard, skirting boards, light switches and blinds. It’s the difference between a house that looks clean and one that passes an inspection.
Do you guarantee I’ll get my bond back?
No honest cleaner can, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Your bond depends on the condition of the property overall — damage, wear, unpaid rent and the state of the garden are all separate from cleaning. What we do guarantee is the clean itself: if your agent flags something we should have done, we come back and fix it free within 72 hours of the inspection.
What does the re-clean guarantee cover?
Anything on our checklist that the agent says wasn’t done to standard. Send us the agent’s inspection notes within 72 hours and we’ll return and re-do those areas at no cost. It doesn’t cover damage, wear and tear, or work outside the agreed scope — if the carpets weren’t booked for steam cleaning, for example, that isn’t something we missed.
Does the property need to be empty?
Yes, and this is the single biggest thing that goes wrong with exit cleans. Cleaners can’t clean under furniture that’s still there and generally won’t move it, so anything left behind becomes an area that doesn’t get done — and that’s exactly where agents look. Book the clean for after the last item leaves, or let us handle the move and clear-out so the sequence works.
Do you clean the oven?
Yes, included, and properly — racks out, degreaser given time to work, door glass done. The oven is the most common single reason a bond clean fails, and it’s also the thing budget quotes quietly leave out. If you’re comparing prices, ask each cleaner directly whether the oven is included.
Is carpet steam cleaning included?
It’s quoted separately, because not every property needs it. Most Sydney leases require professional carpet cleaning at the end of a tenancy and many agents ask for the receipt, so check your lease. Where pets have been kept it’s effectively always required, often along with a flea treatment.
Do you clean windows?
Interior glass, sills and tracks are included. Exterior windows are an add-on, and we do ground level plus anything higher that can be reached safely. We won’t work at heights that need equipment we don’t carry, and we’ll tell you that upfront rather than skipping it quietly.
How long does a bond clean take?
A one-bedroom apartment is usually half a day. A three-bedroom house with two bathrooms is typically a full day, and can run longer if the oven and bathrooms have heavy build-up. We book the time the property actually needs rather than fitting it around other jobs.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you have a handover date, even a provisional one. The last week of the month is by far the busiest period for exit cleans in Sydney and fills first. Rescheduling costs nothing, so booking early and moving it later is much safer than waiting for certainty.
Do I need to be there?
No. Most people have already moved out by then. We just need access — keys, a lockbox or a building code — and we’ll send photos when the job is finished so you can see the condition before the inspection.
Do you do end of tenancy cleaning for landlords and agents?
Yes. Landlords and property managers book us between tenancies for the same scope, often alongside a clear-out of anything a departing tenant left behind. If you manage multiple properties, ask about a standing arrangement rather than quoting each one separately.
Can you clean a commercial property at the end of a lease?
Yes. Make good cleaning after an office defit is part of our commercial relocation work, usually run straight after the furniture and rubbish are cleared. Commercial make good deadlines are typically only days after the move, so it’s worth scoping at the same time.
What if there’s damage rather than dirt?
We’ll clean it, but we won’t pretend it’s fixed. Holes in walls, broken fittings, burns and deep scratches are repairs, not cleaning, and an agent will treat them separately from the clean regardless of how the place looks. If we spot something during the quote we’ll mention it so you can decide whether to have it repaired first.
