What Affects the Cost?

Property Size

The number of bedrooms and bathrooms is the primary cost driver. A studio apartment requires far less time than a 4-bedroom house with multiple bathrooms.

Property Condition

If the property has heavy grease build-up, mould, or neglected areas, the clean takes longer. Maintaining regular cleaning throughout your tenancy keeps end of lease costs lower.

Add-on Services

Carpet steam cleaning, balcony/garage cleaning, and oven detailing are common extras. Bundling add-ons with your end of lease clean is almost always cheaper than booking separately.

Location

Prices are consistent across most Sydney suburbs. Remote locations or multi-storey walk-ups without lift access may incur a small surcharge.

Urgency

Standard bookings are the most affordable. Same-day or next-day urgent requests may attract a small premium depending on availability.

Tips to Save on End of Lease Cleaning

  1. Book early. Scheduling 1–2 weeks before your move-out date gives you the best time slots and avoids last-minute surcharges.
  2. Bundle services. Combining carpet steam cleaning, oven detailing, and window washing with your end of lease clean is cheaper than booking each separately.
  3. Remove all belongings first. An empty property lets cleaners work faster and more thoroughly, reducing the total time and cost.
  4. Choose a company with a bond back guarantee. If the clean doesn't pass inspection, the cleaner returns at no extra charge — saving you from paying twice.
  5. Compare all-inclusive quotes. Avoid companies that quote low then add surcharges for supplies, equipment, or travel. Crazy Cleaning's prices include everything.

Is Professional End of Lease Cleaning Worth It?

In almost every case, yes. The average bond for a 2-bedroom apartment in Sydney is $1,600–$2,400. Cleaning deductions from agents routinely range from $300–$1,000 or more. A professional end of lease clean at $249–$349 protects the full amount of your bond — especially when backed by a guarantee.

Beyond the financial benefit, professional cleaners have commercial-grade equipment, know exactly what real estate agents look for, and follow comprehensive checklists that DIY cleaning often misses.
