How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Adelaide?
End of lease cleaning in Adelaide is usually priced by the size and condition of the property rather than a flat rate — the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether carpets need steam cleaning, and how much build-up there is all factor in. The most reliable way to know is to request a fixed, written quote up front. At Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave we quote transparently with no hidden fees, so you know the full price before we start, and every bond clean is backed by our satisfaction, bond-back guarantee.
How do I get my full bond back when I move out?
To get your full bond back, the property generally needs to be returned in the same condition it was leased to you — which usually means a thorough top-to-bottom clean that meets your property manager's inspection checklist: kitchen and oven, bathrooms, walls, skirtings, windows, tracks and floors. Many Adelaide tenants use a professional end of lease cleaner to guarantee that standard. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave cleans directly to agency checklists and backs every bond clean with a guarantee: if your manager flags a cleaning issue, we return and re-clean it free of charge.
What's included in an end of lease (bond) clean?
A proper end of lease clean covers the whole property to inspection standard: the full kitchen including oven, rangehood and cupboards; bathrooms descaled with grout and tiles detailed; inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes; spot-cleaned walls, skirting boards and switches; interior windows, tracks and sills; and deep-cleaned floors, with professional carpet steam cleaning available. At Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave in Adelaide we work from a master vacate checklist so nothing is missed, and we'll clean to your agent's specific list if they've supplied one.
Do I need professional carpet cleaning for my end of lease?
Many Adelaide leases specifically require professional carpet steam cleaning when you move out, and some agents ask to see a receipt. Even when it isn't mandatory, clean carpets are one of the first things inspectors check. It's usually easiest and most cost-effective to bundle carpet steam cleaning with your end of lease clean in a single booking. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave includes professional carpet steam cleaning as part of our bond cleans, lifting stains and odours so the carpets meet your agent's expectations on exit.
How long does a bond clean take?
Most end of lease cleans take a focused team somewhere between three and eight hours, depending on the size and condition of the property — an empty, well-kept unit is far quicker than a large family home that needs heavy detailing. Booking an empty property, with furniture already removed, lets the team reach every surface and finish faster. When you request a quote from Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave in Adelaide, we give you an honest time estimate alongside a fixed price, so there are no surprises on the day.
How far in advance should I book an end of lease cleaner in Adelaide?
It's best to book your end of lease clean as soon as you know your move-out date — ideally a week or more ahead, because the end of the month is the busiest time for cleaners as leases turn over. Schedule the clean for after your furniture is out and a day or two before your final inspection, so there's time to address anything if needed. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave covers metropolitan Adelaide and will lock in your preferred date as soon as you request a quote.
What happens if the property manager isn't satisfied after the clean?
A reputable end of lease cleaner backs their work with a bond-back guarantee — meaning if the property manager flags a cleaning issue at the final inspection, they return and re-clean that area free of charge. That guarantee is your protection for getting your deposit back. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave in Adelaide guarantees exactly this: we clean to agency standards, and if anything is flagged within the agreed period, we come back and put it right at no extra cost.
How much does a house cleaner cost in Adelaide?
House cleaning in Adelaide is typically priced by the size of your home and how often you book, rather than a one-size-fits-all hourly rate. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans usually work out more cost-effective per visit than one-offs, because the home is kept to a consistent standard — and a good local cleaner won't lock you into a contract. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave gives you a fixed, transparent quote based on your home, with no hidden fees, and you can adjust your schedule any time.
How often should I get my house professionally cleaned?
Most Adelaide households book a professional clean weekly or fortnightly, depending on the size of the home, whether there are pets, and how busy life is — larger families often prefer weekly, while a fortnightly reset suits many couples and smaller homes. Some people book a one-off deep clean first, then switch to lighter regular maintenance. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave will recommend a sensible rhythm for your home with no lock-in contract, and you keep the same trusted team each visit.
What's the difference between a regular clean and a deep clean?
A regular clean maintains an already-tidy home on a schedule, focusing on surfaces, floors, bathrooms and kitchens. A deep clean is a more intensive one-off that tackles built-up grime and the detailed areas a routine clean doesn't reach every visit — inside appliances, grout, skirtings, light fittings, vents and window tracks. Many people book a deep clean first, then move to easy regular upkeep. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave in Adelaide offers both and will advise which suits your situation honestly.
Do professional cleaners bring their own products and equipment?
Yes — a professional cleaning service arrives fully equipped with all the products and commercial-grade equipment needed, so you don't have to supply anything. Good cleaners use eco-friendly, pet- and child-safe products as standard, and if you'd prefer they use a particular product on certain surfaces you can simply ask. Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave brings everything required to every Adelaide job, all pet- and child-safe, and is always happy to accommodate any product preferences you have.
Do I need to be home while my cleaner works?
No — many people give their cleaner secure access and come home to a finished house, while others prefer to be there for the first visit or two. What matters most is trusting the people in your home, so always choose a service whose cleaners are insured and police-checked. Every cleaner at Select Cleaning — Reegan & Dave in Adelaide is fully insured and police-checked, so whether you're home or not, your property is in trusted, respectful hands.
How do I find a reliable, trustworthy cleaner in Adelaide?

Is it safe to give a cleaning company a key to my home?
