Can professional cleaning really help you get your bond back?
Yes, professional end of lease cleaning dramatically increases your chances of receiving your full bond refund. Property managers and landlords have high expectations during final inspections, and even minor cleaning issues can lead to deductions. By hiring experienced vacate cleaners, you’re ensuring the property meets strict exit standards, something DIY often fails to deliver.
If you’re moving out and want your bond back, here’s why professional move out cleaning isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
When it comes to bond cleaning, it’s not just about wiping down surfaces. Property managers inspect everything including skirting boards, ceiling fans, oven interiors, window tracks, carpet stains, and more. It’s a thorough process, and missing even one area can be enough to cost you part (or all) of your bond. Tenants often assume a quick tidy-up is enough, but real estate agents follow detailed end of lease cleaning checklists that leave little room for error.
According to the Residential Tenancies Authority in QLD, landlords and agents are legally allowed to deduct cleaning costs from your bond if the property isn’t returned in the same clean condition it was handed over in. Read more about legal bond deductions here.
Let’s be clear: there’s a big difference between “cleaning your place” and preparing it for an official exit inspection. Doing the clean yourself might seem like a way to save money, but the risk is high. Many tenants underestimate how long it takes and what’s required to meet inspection standards. Even with effort, DIY often leads to failed inspections, repeat cleans, or deductions from your bond. It can even affect your rental history and negatively impact your reputation and ability to get future rentals.
