Moving out? Here's exactly what to do before your bond cleaner arrives — and how to guarantee you get your full bond back.
Moving out of a rental in Perth is stressful enough without worrying about whether you'll get your bond back. The good news: with the right preparation, you can almost guarantee a full bond refund. Here's exactly what to do.
Give yourself enough time. Book your end of lease clean for the day after you've moved all your furniture out — not before. Empty rooms are much easier to clean thoroughly, especially under furniture and in wardrobes.
Do a walk-through first. Before the cleaners arrive, walk through every room with the original condition report (if you have one). Note anything that was already damaged — these don't need to be fixed, but should be documented.
Attend to minor repairs yourself. Fill small nail holes with putty (available at Bunnings). Replace any blown light globes. This avoids deductions for minor items that are easy to fix before the property manager inspection.
Arrange carpet steam cleaning. If your lease requires it, book carpet cleaning at the same time as your bond clean. CleanMate can do both on the same day, and we offer a combined discount.
Be present (or have someone there). After the clean, do a walk-through with the cleaner before they leave. If anything was missed, it can be addressed immediately rather than requiring a re-clean.
Book as early as possible. End of month is the busiest time for bond cleaning in Perth — everyone's leases end on the 30th. Book at least a week in advance to secure your preferred date.
Use our free re-clean guarantee. If your property manager raises any cleaning issues within 72 hours of your inspection, CleanMate will return and re-clean at no extra cost. Over 99% of our end of lease clients receive their full bond.
