Share houses are often the hardest to time. Housemates leave on different dates, and the keys may go back on one day. Settle the final date among the group first, then call, and the earlier you call, the more choice you will have.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few things make move out cleaning go more smoothly, especially in a shared rental:
- Remove all belongings, including from the garage, balcony and shared spaces.
- Take out rubbish and clear the fridge and pantry of food.
- Agree with housemates who is taking which furniture and appliances, so nothing is left behind.
- Make sure power and water are on and every room can be accessed.
- Tell us about pets or any damage you already know about.
After the clean
If you can, walk through with the agent’s checklist and take dated photos of each room. Then return the keys as your lease requires.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That 7-day re-clean guarantee is given in writing. It is a re-clean guarantee, not a bond back guarantee.

What affects the price
Every quote is based on the actual property. The main factors are:
- Size of the property, including bedrooms and bathrooms
- Condition, such as oven grease, limescale and general build-up
- Whether it is a house or an apartment
- Number of carpeted rooms, if you add steam cleaning
- Number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- Pets and any odour treatment needed
Be upfront about condition. A firm price is only useful if it reflects what we will find when we arrive.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself costs supplies and time, and in a share house it also costs coordination. It can work for a small, lightly used unit if you have the agent’s checklist and a free day or two.
Booking tends to suit tenants who are juggling study or work, leaving a house with several housemates, or facing a neglected oven and bathroom. If you do book, compare end of lease cleaners on inclusions and the written guarantee, not only on the first price you see.
