How Much Does an End of Lease Clean Cost and What’s Included?

Moving out can be stressful, and one of the biggest tasks on the to-do list is ensuring your home is left spotless for inspection. Hiring professionals to handle your end-of-lease clean on the Gold Coast can save time, reduce stress, and ensure you meet the high standards expected by real estate agents and landlords.

At Scrub & Sort Co., our end-of-lease cleans start at $378, with prices varying depending on the size of the home, number of rooms, and level of cleaning required.

How Much Does An End-Of-Lease Clean Cost?

The cost of an end-of-lease clean can vary based on several factors. Every property is unique, and understanding what influences the price can help you plan your move-out more efficiently.

1. Size of the Property

The size of your home plays the biggest role in determining cost. A one-bedroom apartment will require far less time than a large family home. As a general guide:

• 1-bedroom unit: From around $378
  
  
• 2–3 bedrooms: $450–$600
  
  
• 4+ bedrooms: $650+ depending on condition and extras
  
  

Larger homes have more surfaces, windows, and bathrooms to clean, so the time and labour increase accordingly.

2. Number of Bathrooms

Bathrooms are among the most time-consuming areas to clean. Scrubbing tiles, grout, glass, and fittings to real estate standards takes detailed work. Homes with multiple bathrooms will therefore cost more due to the extra labour involved.

3. Furnished vs Unfurnished

If your property is unfurnished, cleaning tends to be quicker and more straightforward. For furnished properties, additional cleaning around and beneath furniture is required. Items like tables, couches, and appliances must be cleaned thoroughly, which adds time and effort.

4. Condition of the Property

If the property has been regularly cleaned and well-maintained, it will take less time to complete. However, homes that have built-up dust, grime, mould, or neglected areas may require additional deep cleaning.

For example, a heavily used oven or stained shower screen will need extra attention, impacting the total cost.

5. Optional Add-On Services

Not all properties require the same cleaning services. Add-ons can be included to create a tailored package that ensures your home meets bond inspection standards. These may include:

• Carpet steam cleaning
  
  
• Exterior window cleaning
  
  
• Balcony or patio pressure washing
  
  
• Garage or storage area cleaning
  
  
• Blind or curtain cleaning
  
  

Including these add-ons ensures your property is inspection-ready and leaves no reason for your bond to be withheld.

6. Accessibility and Location

Accessibility can slightly influence the cost—properties in high-rise buildings, those without lifts, or those in hard-to-reach areas may take longer for our team to access and complete.
