Price Guide

How we price your clean

No guesswork and no hidden fees. Your price comes from the type of home, its layout, and how much extra work it needs. Here is exactly how we work it out.

All prices include GST. Real estate agencies see the same prices shown as + GST.

1How we price

Every End of Lease quote is built the same way, in four steps.

  1. Step 1

    Your type of home

    Apartment, townhouse or house. Each group is priced its own way, because the work is different.

  2. Step 2

    Your layout

    The number of bedrooms and bathrooms sets the base price. Apartments get one all-in package price.

  3. Step 3

    How it was lived in

    Normal use is already in the price. Heavier build-up adds a fixed amount for each item. See the levels below.

  4. Step 4

    Extras you need

    Carpets, blinds, walls, the fridge and more. Each has its own clear price, listed in What can cost extra.

The three condition levels

We rate the oven, range hood, cooktop, cupboards and other items one by one.

Level 1: NormalEveryday use. Included in the package price.
Level 2: Built-upThick grease or heavy marks. Adds per item.
Level 3: Very heavyBurnt-on, saturated, or signs of pests. We look first, then quote.
Then we take money off where we can: off when you book or more days ahead, and off if you never used the oven. Not sure about something? We offer a free onsite inspection if needed.

2The three property groups

A unit, a townhouse and a house take very different amounts of work. So we sort every home into one of three groups, and each group has its own way of pricing.

Group 1

Apartments and units

Single-level apartments and units. Luxury apartments and penthouses are in Group 3.

One all-in package price, set by your layout.

The package includes:

  • Kitchen appliances: oven, range hood, cooktop and dishwasher (Level 1)
  • Kitchen surfaces, plus inside all cupboards and drawers
  • All general rooms, plus inside wardrobes and drawers
  • Windows and balcony doors, both sides, within 2.4 m
  • Bathrooms and the laundry tub

Furnished? Add for wiping around furniture. A 3 bed, 3 bath apartment is checked first: if it has luxury features (like a wine room, walk-in dressing room, butler's pantry or very high ceilings), it is priced as Group 3.

Group 2

Townhouses, terraces and duplexes

Homes with more than one level, sharing walls with neighbours.

General rooms + Kitchen area with appliances () + each level above ground

  • Each level above the ground floor:
  • A guest powder room (half bathroom):
  • An extra-large footprint or study:

Stairs, extra rooms and more floor space take more time, so they are priced on top of the package.

Group 3

Houses, villas, penthouses and luxury apartments

Freestanding houses and high-end homes, where every home is different.

Kitchen area with appliances (from ) + General rooms by layout + levels and special rooms

  • The kitchen starts at . Each Level 2 item adds .
  • General rooms are priced by layout (see the table).
  • Each level above ground: . A luxury powder room: .
  • A Level 3 kitchen in any home is priced this itemised way too.

Because houses vary so much, we often confirm the price after a free onsite inspection.

3The words we use

Cleaning words can mean different things to different people. These are exactly what we mean in your quote.

Full End of Lease Cleaning
Everything a vacated home can need, in 11 parts. Our package covers the first five; the other six are extras, because not every home needs them.
  • Kitchen appliances
  • Kitchen surfaces & inside
  • General rooms & inside
  • Bathrooms
  • Windows
  • Walls
  • Ceilings
  • Balcony pressure wash
  • Blinds
  • Carpet steam
  • Mould
End of Lease General Package
Our standard package for apartments and units: the first five parts above, for a home in normal (Level 1) condition.
General rooms
Bedrooms, living room, study, lounge and laundry. Not the kitchen, bathrooms or balcony, which need special work.
Surface Cleaning
Wiping what you can see: benches, sink, vanity, toilet, doors, switches, and floors. It does not cover greasy kitchens, inside cupboards, walls, ceilings or windows.
Surface & Inside Cleaning
Surface Cleaning, plus inside every drawer, cupboard, wardrobe and shelf.
Deep Cleaning
Surface & Inside Cleaning, plus windows. Walls, ceilings and the kitchen appliances are priced separately.
Kitchen area with appliances
The oven, range hood and cooktop, plus kitchen benches, splashback and cupboards inside and out. Greasy kitchens always need this, not just Surface Cleaning.
Bathroom Detailing
Shower screen, tiles and grout, vanity inside and out, mirror, toilet, and the laundry tub.
Windows
Glass that opens for air, including balcony and patio doors. Both sides, frames, sills and tracks, within 2.4 m. Shower screens and mirrors are not windows.
Std room (carpet)
10 m² of carpet. A normal bedroom is usually one Std room.
Whole-surface cleaning
We wash a wall or ceiling from corner to corner, not just the marks. Spot scrubbing leaves shiny patches on modern paint.

4The agent's checklist

Property managers check these things at the final inspection. Here is who takes care of each one, so nothing is missed and your bond comes back.

In the package we do itExtra we do it, at an extra priceYour job not a cleaning job

Start with your ingoing condition report. NSW law asks you to leave the home in the same condition as when you moved in, apart from fair wear and tear. Your report shows what "clean" meant at the start.

About carpets: in NSW, a lease term that makes you pay for professional carpet cleaning doesn't apply, unless it was a condition of permission to keep a pet (Residential Tenancies Act 2010, s 19(2)(a), s 19(3), s 73E(2)(b)). Carpets still need to be left reasonably clean.

5What can cost extra

Some jobs need more time, tools or chemicals than a normal clean. Here is how we price each one. Your quote lists every extra, so there are no surprises on the day.

Kitchen and appliances

Bathrooms

Walls, ceilings, mould and rooms

Popcorn ceilings are the hardest surface to clean, so they cost the most ( per m²). We usually suggest the owner has the surface redone instead.

Blinds

Priced per blind, by its size and style. Send us photos or a short video and we'll confirm.

Carpet and furniture

Outside and on the day

Money off

6Other services

Not moving out? We also clean single rooms, appliances, carpets and windows on their own.
