End of Lease Cleaning vs a Regular House Clean

Two different jobs with two different standards. Here's what each one covers, what it costs, and which one you actually need.

People book the wrong one all the time. A regular house clean at the end of a lease will fail an exit inspection, and a full bond clean every fortnight is money you don't need to spend. The difference is scope and standard.

When you need an end of lease clean

  • You're a tenant moving out and want your full bond back
  • You're a landlord preparing between tenants
  • You're selling and want the property to photograph and inspect well

When a regular clean is the right call

  • You're in the property and want it maintained weekly or fortnightly
  • You want a one-off catch-up clean before guests or an event
  • You have a recurring clean and only need a light reset

The middle option

If you're moving out of a house with a yard, the Property Reset bundles the full exit clean with mowing, edging and a garden tidy in one visit. One team, one date, one invoice, and it prices below booking the two separately.

Frequently asked

Can I upgrade a regular clean to a bond clean?

Yes, but it's priced as a bond clean because the scope is what drives the time. Tell us it's an exit clean when you book so the right amount of time is allocated.

Do you do recurring cleaning as well as bond cleans?

Yes. Weekly, fortnightly and monthly house cleaning with no lock-in contract, plus recurring lawn maintenance.
