What's actually checked on an end of lease inspection

The areas real estate agents look at closest — and how to make sure your bond clean covers every one of them.

Ovens, range hoods, skirting boards and inside cupboards are the most common reasons a bond clean gets sent back — they're easy to miss with a standard wipe-down.

Carpets usually need a professional steam clean, not just a vacuum, to meet most lease agreements — check your lease before you book your clean.

How often should you really book a house clean?

Weekly, fortnightly or one-off — how to pick the right schedule for your household and budget.

Busy households with kids or pets usually get the most value from a fortnightly clean, while a lighter routine can stretch to monthly with a tidy-as-you-go habit in between.

A one-off deep clean before starting a regular schedule gets everything to the same baseline, so future visits stay quicker and more affordable.

Streak-free windows: what actually works

Why professional window cleaning looks different to a spray bottle and paper towel — and when it's worth calling in a pro.

Streaks are usually leftover residue, not a dirty window — a squeegee and the right technique clear it in one pass instead of smearing it around.

Frames, tracks and sills collect just as much grime as the glass, so a proper window clean covers all three, not just what you can see through.

Commercial cleaning contracts: what it actually covers

Trading hours, consistency and hygiene standards — why commercial cleaning needs a proper schedule, not an ad-hoc visit.

We schedule commercial jobs before opening, after close or overnight so staff and customers never see the clean happening.

A set contract with the same standard every visit is what keeps offices, shops and venues consistently presentable, not a one-off deep clean every few months.
