Cleaners in Western Australia

Perth and regional WA cleaning services

Perth has the most pages: the vacate clean, the deep clean, after-builders and holiday rental cleans, plus places such as Fremantle, Joondalup, Rockingham and Mandurah.

Further out, there are pages for Bunbury and Busselton in the South West, Geraldton up the coast and Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields.

Vacate clean, end of lease clean or bond clean?

All three are the same job here. Vacate clean is the WA word, and you'll also hear end of lease clean and bond clean, especially in Perth.

Moving out of a WA rental: the vacate clean

The standard WA agreement (Form 1AA) asks you to leave the home as closely as possible in the same condition as at the start, fair wear and tear excepted, and to return all the keys.

Consumer Protection's moving out checklist says to clean the whole house and to consider hiring professional cleaners if necessary. It doesn't say you have to, and WA law doesn't address a lease term asking for a professional clean when there's no pet.

With a pet, the lessor (the landlord) can set reasonable conditions about cleaning or fumigation (Residential Tenancies Act 1987, s 50C). Fumigation is a pest controller's job.

Where WA bonds go, and the State's advice on cleaners

Bonds Administration holds your bond until the tenancy ends. If anyone disputes the release, the Commissioner for Consumer Protection decides, and the Magistrates Court hears any appeal.

The WA Government tells tenants hiring a cleaner to check the ABN and references, never pay upfront and get a receipt. The WA bond rules cover the rest.
