Cleaning Hints and Tips

So, it’s time to make the move and organise a bond clean for your property in Toowoomba. It can be very tempting to try and pick the cheapest bond cleaner you can find. Don’t think we don’t know you haven’t googled ‘cheap bond clean toowoomba’. However, have you ever thought about the hidden costs of hiring the cheapest cleaners? 

What Does Bond Cleaning Involve?

Bond cleaning, also known as end-of-lease cleaning, is a thorough cleaning of a rental property to ensure it is in a condition good enough for new tenants, as per the standards set by the lease agreement. This type of cleaning often goes beyond regular house cleaning and includes deep cleaning of carpets, walls, windows, and appliances.

Hidden Cost #1: Depth of Cleaning Required

There is a clean house, and then there is a 'bond' clean house. Bond cleaning must go beyond the superficial surface cleaning of a regular house clean. While it may look great at first glance, property managers will not be fooled. If the landlord or property manager is unsatisfied with the job, you will be back there to finish the job. Or you are waving goodbye to some (or all) of your bond money. 

Hidden Cost #2: Potential Damage to Property

Inexperience or lack of appropriate equipment can damage property - from scratches on floors to colour fadings from using the wrong products on the wrong surfaces. It happens. The cost of damage could outweigh the savings you are making on the bond clean. 

Hidden Cost #3: Lack of Bond-Back Guarantee

Make sure to check that your chosen cleaner has a bond-back guarantee. This means that if the property is deemed not up to standard, the cleaner will come back and rectify any issues. Free of charge. 

Hidden Cost #4: Time and Scheduling Conflicts

Like everything else, time is of the essence. Cheaper and inexperienced cleaners may take longer to complete the cleaning - or have to reschedule. No one wants the moving process to be delayed. 

Hidden Cost #5: Cleaning Products and Equipment

Is the cleaner providing the products and equipment, or do they need you to provide it? High-grade cleaning products can be costly, so factor that into the cost! 

Choosing the Right Service: Avoiding Hidden Costs

When choosing a bond cleaning service, spend some time to select the right cleaners. Look at Facebook and Google reviews, ask your family and friends, and carefully read the terms and conditions. Don't hesitate to ask questions about what's included in their service, whether they offer a bond-back guarantee, and if they have insurance to cover any potential damages.

Conclusion: The True Cost of Cheap Bond Cleaning

While the allure of a cheap bond clean in Toowoomba is strong, knowing the potential hidden costs is crucial. Investing more in a reputable service can save you money and stress in the long run, ensuring a smooth transition out of your old home and into your new one. Remember, the goal of bond cleaning is not just to save money but to secure the return of your bond and leave your rental property in a respectful condition for the next tenants.
