End of lease (bond) cleaning cost in NSW (2026)
Updated 4 August 2026
End-of-lease cleaning is priced as a fixed job, not hourly, because the scope is defined by your agent's condition report. In 2026, most NSW bond cleans fall between $250 and $600 depending on property size and condition.
The single most valuable thing to look for is a written bond-back guarantee: if the agent flags something, the cleaner returns and re-cleans free.
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $250 – $350 |
| 2 bedrooms | $300 – $450 |
| 3 bedrooms | $380 – $550 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $450 – $700 |
| Carpet steam (if required) | add $30 – $50 per room |
What's included (and what agents check)
A proper bond clean covers oven and rangehood, inside cupboards, skirting boards, light fittings, bathroom descaling, walls spot-cleaning and windows inside. Agents work from the entry condition report — if carpet was professionally cleaned at entry, your lease probably requires a receipt for the same at exit.
Ask for a receipt/invoice suitable for your agent, and check whether carpet steam cleaning is included or an add-on.
Common questions
Does a bond clean guarantee my bond back?
A bond-back guarantee covers the cleaning items on the condition report — the cleaner returns free if the agent flags them. It doesn't cover damage or non-cleaning issues.
Do I need carpet steam cleaning?
Only if your lease or entry report requires it — commonly it does when carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in. Expect $30–$50 per room.
How long does a bond clean take?
Usually 3–8 hours with a team, depending on size and condition. Book for after your furniture is out.
