Canterbury cleaners for a rental unit or a family home

Leaving a rental unit? The end of lease clean comes once you're out, before the final inspection. NSW asks for reasonably clean, judged against how it started, and you can do it yourself.

In a family home, a regular clean every week or fortnight keeps things in hand, and a deep clean makes a good start. New keys? A move-in clean is easiest before the furniture arrives.

Bulky rubbish with Canterbury-Bankstown Council

  • Houses, townhouses and blocks of up to five units can make two bookings a calendar year.
  • Each collection takes three cubic metres of bulky items.
  • In a building of six or more units, the building manager books for the whole block.
  • Bookings made by December 15 come from that year's allowance.
  • Items go out the day before the collection.

Moving late in the year? End of lease cleaning in Canterbury

If you're moving near the end of the year, book the council clean-up before the cleaner. Get it in by December 15 so it comes from this year's allowance, then set the clean for after the collection, so the place is empty when the business arrives.

Questions

Questions about house cleaning in Canterbury, Sydney

Is this Canterbury in Sydney or in Melbourne?

Sydney. Canterbury in Sydney is in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, on the Cooks River. If you're in Melbourne, start from the Melbourne page.

I live in a block of eight units. Can I book the clean-up myself?

Not in Canterbury-Bankstown. Units can't book on their own, so ask your building manager or strata, who books for the whole building.

Does a tenant in Canterbury in Sydney need a professional clean?

No. The NSW standard is reasonably clean, and you can do it yourself. The one exception is a pet clause, which can ask for a professional carpet clean if the landlord agreed to a pet inside.

When the cleaning business calls

  • Have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms handy, and anything extra you want done.
  • Moving out? Have your entry condition report and the date the keys go back.
  • Think about access: keys, parking, stairs, and pets that will be home.
