How to price an end of tenancy clean
A bond clean is priced by how much there is to clean, not by the hour. Most cleaners start from a base price for a small property and add for each extra bedroom and bathroom, because more rooms means more time, more products and more surfaces to bring up to an end of lease standard. Carpets and ovens are usually charged as separate line items, since both need specialist equipment and a lot of extra time - and pricing them separately protects your margin when a job is heavier than it looked.
Set the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, how many carpeted rooms need cleaning, and whether the oven is in scope.

Price the job, not the hours
The same number of bedrooms can be a quick clean or a hard one. A lightly used unit handed back tidy takes far less than one that needs grease, soap scum and grime shifted before it will pass the final inspection. Carpet steam cleaning, oven cleaning and inside windows are the extras that swing the total most, so price them as separate lines and you protect your margin instead of absorbing the heavy jobs.
The job goes to the cleaner who answers
When a tenant or landlord is ringing around for a bond clean, they usually book the first cleaner who picks up and gives a clear price. If your phone rings out while you are mid-job, that lead goes to the next name on the list. Hey Jodie answers every call 24/7 for cleaning businesses, takes the property details and books the slot, so you stop losing jobs to missed calls.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I charge for a bond clean in Australia? +
As a rough market guide, a studio or one-bed unit tends to run around 200 to 320, a two-bed property is commonly 340 to 560, and larger three and four-bed homes start from roughly 560 upwards once carpet steam cleaning and an oven clean are added. Your rates depend on your area and the condition of the property. Use the calculator above to set a range for the specific size and extras, then quote from there.
What should I factor into a bond clean quote? +
The main drivers are the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether carpets need steam cleaning, and whether the oven needs a deep clean. On top of that, the condition of the property, your travel and whether the clean has to pass the agent or landlord final inspection all change how long the job takes. Inside windows, balconies and appliances are extras worth pricing as separate lines so you are paid for the work.
Should I price carpets and oven cleaning separately? +
Usually, yes. Quoting a base bond clean price and listing carpet steam cleaning and oven cleaning as separate add-ons keeps your headline price competitive and makes sure you are paid for the extra time and specialist equipment they take. The calculator lets you add carpeted rooms and an oven clean so your quote reflects the actual scope, not a guess.
How accurate is this pricing reference? +
It is a realistic ballpark built from typical Australian bond cleaning rates, not a fixed rate card. It is good for quoting on the phone and for checking your own prices against the wider market. The right price for any job depends on its condition and your costs, so treat the range as a starting point and adjust for what you see.
How do I quote a caller quickly? +
Take the property details on the call - bedrooms and bathrooms, carpets, oven, and the condition it is in - drop them into the calculator, and read off a range you can give there and then. Quoting on the first call is how you win the job before they ring the next cleaner. Download the one-page PDF and send it across to confirm.
How do I stop losing bond cleaning jobs to missed calls? +
Most bond clean enquiries go to the first cleaner who answers and gives a price, and you cannot pick up while you are mid-clean. Hey Jodie answers every call 24/7 for cleaning businesses, captures the property details and books the job, so the work comes to you instead of the next name on the list.
