How Much Does Bond Cleaning Cost in Sydney? [2026 Price Guide]
If you’re moving out of a rental in Sydney, bond cleaning is at the top of your to-do list — and your first question is probably a simple one: how much is this going to cost?
The honest answer is that bond cleaning prices in Sydney vary depending on the size of your property. A small apartment costs less than a large family home. What doesn’t vary — when you book with a reputable company — is the certainty. You should always receive a fixed price upfront, not an hourly estimate that grows on the day.
This guide breaks down exactly what bond cleaning costs in Sydney in 2026, what those prices include, and what to watch out for when comparing quotes.

Bond cleaning in Sydney costs from $330 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment up to $940 for an 8-bedroom, 6-bathroom home. Prices are fixed by property size and always include GST. Carpet steam cleaning and some add-ons are priced separately.

What Does a Bond Clean Price Include?
This is where a lot of Sydney tenants get caught out. A cheap quote that doesn’t include oven cleaning, windows, or inside cupboards can end up costing more once those items are added — or worse, you discover on inspection day that they weren’t done at all.
A quality bond clean should include all of the following as part of the base price:
- Full kitchen — oven inside and out, stovetop, rangehood, benchtops, splashback, sink
- All bathrooms — tiles, grout, shower screen descaling, toilet, vanity, taps, exhaust fans
- All rooms — walls (spot clean), skirting boards, ceiling fans, light fittings
- Interior windows, sliding door glass, window frames and tracks
- Built-in wardrobes and cupboards cleaned inside and out
- Laundry — trough, washing machine exterior, and dryer
Carpet steam cleaning is almost always required separately — more on that below. See what’s included in our end of lease clean for a full breakdown.
Add-On Prices — What Costs Extra?
Some items are not included in a standard bond clean price and are charged as add-ons. Here are the most common:
| Add-On Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Carpet steam cleaning (per room) | $40 (with bond clean) |
| Exterior window cleaning | $60 per hour |
| Roller / plantation shutter blinds (per blind) | $10 |
| Venetian / vertical / timber blinds (per blind) | $20 |
| Inside fridge | $60 |
| Garage sweep and tidy | $30 |
| Small balcony / patio / deck (up to 12m²) | $30 |
| Large balcony / patio / deck (above 12m²) | $60 |
| Spot clean walls — 30 min | $30 |
| End of lease flea treatment | $150 |
Does Bond Cleaning Cost Include Carpet Steam Cleaning?
In most cases, no. Carpet steam cleaning is priced as a separate add-on — it requires different equipment and a different technique to the rest of the property clean.
However, it’s almost always required. The majority of residential lease agreements in NSW include a clause requiring carpets to be professionally steam cleaned at the end of the tenancy. If your lease has this clause (check the ingoing condition report), your agent will ask for a receipt.
The good news is that booking carpet cleaning alongside your bond clean is the most cost-effective option. We offer carpet steam cleaning at $40 per room when bundled with a bond clean. See full carpet steam cleaning pricing for standalone rates.
Why Do Bond Cleaning Prices Vary So Much in Sydney?
If you’ve been shopping around, you’ve probably seen prices ranging from $180 to $500 for the same size apartment. Here’s why:
❌ What cheap quotes usually mean
- Oven, windows & cupboards charged as extras
- No re-clean guarantee if agent rejects the job
- Unlicensed or uninsured cleaners
- Subcontracted work with inconsistent quality
✅ What a fair price includes
- GST included — not added at checkout
- Oven, rangehood & windows in the base rate
- 7-day re-clean guarantee, no questions asked
- Fully insured, police-checked local Sydney team
- Receipt & job certificate for your agent
⚠️ Watch Out
A $250 bond clean with $180 in add-ons is not a $250 bond clean. Always confirm what’s included before booking.
How to Get the Best Value Bond Clean in Sydney
- Book early — last-minute same-day bookings cost more and have fewer time-slot options
- Bundle your services — carpet cleaning added to a bond clean is cheaper per room than standalone
- Confirm what’s included — ask specifically about oven, windows, and cupboards
- Check the re-clean policy — a 7-day guarantee is standard with a reputable company
- Get a fixed quote in writing — never accept an hourly rate for a bond clean
- Book the day before inspection — not the morning of — give time for carpets to dry
How Much Should You Budget for the Whole Move-Out?
