A vacate clean in Perth starts from $290 per property, and your quote moves up from there with property size, condition, carpets, the oven and outdoor areas. Bedroom count alone rarely tells you the price. The written quote from a Perth vacate cleaning provider on Urgent Pro confirms the final figure before you commit.
For the full task list by room, see the room-by-room Perth vacate checklist.
Factors That Influence the Cost of a Vacate Clean in Perth
The $290 minimum is calculated for a small property, typically a one-bedroom unit in standard condition. Everything above that comes from six things:
- Property size. Total rooms, bathrooms and living areas, not just bedrooms.
- Condition. How well the property was kept through the tenancy.
- Carpets. How much of the property is carpeted, and whether a steam clean is expected.
- The oven and kitchen. Build-up in the oven, rangehood and splashback.
- Outdoor areas. Balconies, courtyards and alfresco areas.
- Timing. How much notice the booking allows before the exit inspection.
Prices are indicative. The quote you receive is confirmed in writing before the job starts.
Property size and condition. A property that has been kept clean through the tenancy, with no build-up on appliances, no mould in bathrooms, grout or walls, and a clean oven, takes less time than one with years of build-up. A provider can gauge the condition from photos provided at booking and confirms it on arrival. Properties that need an intensive clean are quoted case by case. You can bring the cost down with some simple preparation before the cleaners arrive.
Carpets. Carpet steam cleaning is a separate booking, priced from $156 per job, and the final price depends on how many rooms and how much carpet there is. Whether you need one depends on your lease and the condition of the carpets. A clause that requires a professional carpet clean regardless of condition may not be enforceable, while a clause tied to the condition of the carpet may be. The position is contested, so check Consumer Protection WA’s tenancy resources for the current guidance before you pay for one. Where carpet covers most of the property, agents commonly expect a steam clean as part of the exit.
The oven and kitchen. A maintained oven takes far less time than a neglected one, and heavy carbonised build-up can add significant time and sometimes needs specialist treatment. The agent also checks the splashback, the inside of the rangehood and the cabinets against the entry condition report. The condition report and your vacate clean explains how the two are compared.
Outdoor areas. The condition of balconies and courtyards can affect the outcome and the quote. WA’s vacate cleaning obligations set out what may be expected of tenants outdoors. Extensive outdoor surfaces, such as a heavily soiled balcony or courtyard, are added to the quote as a variation.
Timing. An earlier booking allows a more detailed assessment of what is needed. A last-minute booking may cost more, particularly when the exit inspection is only a few days away.
What the Base Price Covers, Room by Room
The starting price of $290 assumes a small property with no outdoor requirements, no carpet steam clean and no serious oven build-up. This is the work included in each area.
Kitchen. The oven interior is deep cleaned, including racks and door seals. The rangehood filter is removed and degreased. Benchtops, stovetop, sink and tapware are cleaned, cupboards are wiped inside and out, splashbacks are degreased, and the dishwasher and microwave are cleaned.
Bathrooms. The shower screen, tiles and grout are scrubbed and descaled. The toilet is cleaned in full, including the base and behind it. The vanity, mirror and exhaust fan cover are cleaned.
Bedrooms and living areas. Light fittings and ceiling fans are dusted and cleaned. Skirting boards, door frames and handles are wiped. Switches and power points are cleaned, built-in robe interiors are wiped, cobwebs are removed, and floors are vacuumed and mopped.
Windows. Internal windows, sills and tracks are cleaned.
Extra work. Some extras are added to the quote as a variation, including a full wall wash beyond spot cleaning, upper-floor exterior windows, a garage clean, extensive outdoor surfaces and heavy build-up. Others are separate bookings: carpet steam cleaning, garden tidy-ups, pest control by a licensed pest controller, rubbish beyond a small amount, and repairs.
Things to Do Before the Cleaners Arrive
Preparation lets the provider spend the time cleaning instead of working around your belongings.
Remove personal belongings and furniture where you can. Cleaners cannot fully clean areas blocked by furniture or belongings.
Defrost the freezer the night before. A freezer cannot be cleaned until it has defrosted, and it takes hours to do it.
Empty cupboards and drawers. Agents commonly check them, and items left inside stop the cleaner completing the scope.
Tell your provider about problem areas in advance, such as bathroom mould or carpet stains. They can advise what is possible.
Make sure power, water and gas are not disconnected on the day of the clean.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
Quotes that leave out the oven interior, carpets or outdoor areas are not comparable with full-scope quotes. To compare fairly, check what each one includes.
A good written quote lists the property details it was based on, such as bedrooms, bathrooms and floor types, plus the inclusions, the exclusions, whether carpet steam cleaning is covered, and the re-clean warranty terms. Your booking confirmation should also show the provider’s name and ABN. If two quotes differ, compare those lines first and the totals second, because the cheaper quote is often the one with the shorter scope.
Urgent Pro’s vacate clean pricing explains the pricing factors and how quotes vary. To get a confirmed quote, give the provider as much detail as you can, including the number of bathrooms, outdoor areas and the condition of the property. Bedroom count alone will not produce a reliable price, because two houses with the same number of bedrooms can need very different amounts of work. Start on the Perth vacate cleaning service page.
FAQs
Should I tidy up before the cleaners arrive?
Yes. If your belongings, food and rubbish are gone before the provider arrives, their time goes into cleaning rather than moving things. The clean is more thorough as a result.
What is not included in a Perth vacate clean?
Carpet steam cleaning, garden tidy-ups, pest control and repairs are separate bookings. Full wall washing, upper-floor exterior windows, a garage clean and heavy build-up are added to the quote as variations.
Do I need to be at the property during the clean?
Not necessarily. Many tenants arrange key handover with the provider. Confirm the arrangement when you book.
What if the agent raises an issue after the clean?
Bond, vacate and end of lease cleans booked through Urgent Pro carry a warranty that runs for up to 14 days from completion. If the agent raises a cleaning item that falls within your original booking, the window closes 72 hours after the agent’s written report if that comes first, so send Urgent Pro the agent’s written report or a documented description of the issue as soon as you receive it. Urgent Pro coordinates a return visit and the provider re-cleans at no charge. To book a vacate clean with the warranty in place, choose your city and property details online.
