Shirley's Cleaning and Maintenance Pty Ltd — Cleaning in Rutherford

Bond cleaning for a standard 1-bedroom unit typically costs $250–$400. A 3-bedroom house ranges from $400–$800. Prices vary with carpet steam cleaning, oven cleaning, and window cleaning added as extras.

A regular clean maintains a tidy property with vacuuming, mopping, bathrooms, and kitchen surfaces. A deep clean includes inside appliances, window tracks, skirting boards, light fittings, and areas not covered in routine cleaning — typically taking 2–3x longer.

Reputable end-of-lease cleaners offer a bond-back guarantee — they'll return to fix anything the property manager flags within 72 hours at no extra cost. Always confirm this is included before booking.

Landlords typically require steam cleaning at end of lease. For owner-occupiers, professional steam cleaning every 12–18 months is recommended, or every 6 months with pets.

Professional cleaners use commercial-grade products not available in supermarkets. Reputable services use EPA-approved, low-toxicity products. Request eco-friendly products if you have allergies or young children.
