If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work we will provide you with the ultimate bond cleaning checklist, covering every area from your bedrooms to bathrooms, kitchen and more.

Cleaning Preparation

Before kickstarting the cleaning procedure, you have to undertake some cleaning preparations, this is to ensure efficient cleaning. Prepare a proper cleaning schedule which lasts for several days and split the daily task by the rooms needed to be cleaned that day. It is better to move out of the rented home before cleaning it. This way you can take care of any mess that happened during the moving process. And also, an empty home will be easier to clean. Bring the right equipment and supplies for the cleaning.
