Quick answer

Estimate end-of-lease cleaning cost by property size, bathrooms, carpet, furnished rooms and quote inclusions.

What affects end-of-lease cleaning cost

Property size, bathrooms, kitchens, carpet, furnished rooms, balconies, appliances, wall marks and general condition can all change the quote. Urgent bookings and difficult access can also increase the price.

Use the calculator before comparing quotes

Enter bedrooms, bathrooms, carpet and furnishing details in the cleaning calculator to get a planning range. Then compare cleaner quotes against the same inclusions so you are not comparing a basic clean with a full bond clean.

Cleaning cost and bond deductions

If cleaning is claimed from your bond, ask for photos, an itemised invoice or quote, and a link between the claimed cleaning and the exit condition of the property.

What to keep

Keep booking confirmations, receipts, before-and-after photos, entry condition reports, exit reports and messages about access or re-clean requests.
