Cheap Cleaning Fails

Let’s just say it how it is — you get what you pay for.

We’ve seen it all. Someone books the cheapest cleaner off Facebook or Airtasker for $90 to do an “end of lease” clean. They leave a few wipes, a vacuum job, and maybe toss some toilet cleaner in the bowl — and guess what?

The real estate calls back, says “not up to standard”, and the poor renter is left scrambling — either to pay again or worse, lose part of their bond.

Sound familiar?

We’ve had clients call us in panic mode more times than we can count, saying:

• “Can you fix what the last cleaner missed?”
   
• “They didn’t touch the oven.”
   
• “The walls weren’t cleaned at all.”
   

And here’s the truth: we’re happy to help. But it always costs more when we have to come in after someone else’s mess.

A proper end-of-lease clean takes hours, detail, and care. We’re talking:

• Scrubbing skirting boards
   
• Cleaning ovens and rangehoods
   
• Steam cleaning where needed
   
• Spot-cleaning walls
   
• Polishing every surface
   

It’s not a “quick in and out” job — and it’s definitely not $90.

Cheap cleaning fails because it’s rushed, unqualified, and careless. And in the end? You pay more. With your time, stress, or bond money.
