Are you vacating your rental property soon? If yes, then you might have already heard from your real estate agent asking for professional end of lease cleaning to get your bond refund in full.

Now, there are 2 options for Canberra residents:

1. Hire a professional Bond Cleaners in Canberra

2. Do the cleaning yourself as per the End Of Lease Cleaning checklist

Things to keep in mind when hiring vacate cleaners

If you are hiring a professional cleaning service, it is better for your peace of mind that you check if they provide 100% Bond Back Guarantee on their cleaning. So, if your landlord or property manager reports any cleaning related issues, they should revisit and re-clean for free.

Also, make sure that cleaning quote includes GST and that there are no hidden charges. Also, the cleaners should give you the tax invoice to provide to your real estate as evidence of move out cleaning.

Another recommendation is to check what are their accepted payment method. As some companies only accept Cash, while others might insist for Card payments.
