When tenants in Australia reach the end of their lease, the most important and challenging task to take care of is end of lease cleaning. This is also called bond back cleaning, which ensures that the property is returned in the same condition as when you moved in. Also, meticulous and thorough cleaning helps in getting your bond money back (bond money is an amount that the landlord takes as a deposit at the time of renting an apartment). 

However, when you, as a tenant, handle the cleaning yourself, there are places you might forget, which could cost you your bond money. Here are a few places often overlooked by tenants and how professional end of lease cleaning in Sydney can intervene:

The Inside of Kitchen Appliances 

Usually, the kitchen needs the greatest care. Tenants frequently clean the surfaces that are visible, but they neglect to clean the oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator completely. The refrigerator should be taken out to clean underneath and behind, the oven racks need to be degreased, and the dishwasher filters need to be cleaned. If these locations are overlooked, property managers may complain.

Corners and Skirting

Dust and dirt accumulate in the corners the most. While you might have covered the walls and floors, skirtings can be an overlooked part of the house. Even though you neglect these spots, your landlord will be precise in checking these spots. This is why, when you hire professionals, they ensure they do not leave any spot uncovered. 

Bathrooms: Mould Removal or Descaling

Bathroom cleaning is fine. Everybody does that. But do you closely check for mould infestations or scaling that builds up over time? Hard water stains, soap scums, or mould can linger without grabbing anyone’s attention. This is one reason why it’s often overlooked by tenants. This can potentially impact your bond return. 

Light Fixtures or Fans

Power outlets, ceiling fans, and light fixtures accumulate dust and filth, but these are frequently overlooked. To satisfy bond cleaning requirements, these fixtures must be properly cleaned and dusted.

Laundry Rooms and Garages

Laundry rooms require thorough cleaning, not merely a swipe across the cabinets. The laundry sink, cupboards, and floor require scrubbing. Also, the lint filters inside the dryer must be cleaned well.  Any sort of stains must also be treated. These areas can be easily forgotten, but the landlord does keep a check on all this. 

Outdoor Areas

Tenants usually neglect to sweep patios, mow lawns, weed, maintain gardens, and clean outdoor spaces like verandahs or balconies in homes or apartments with outdoor areas. Bond deductions may be incurred for neglecting gardens or leaving trash behind. Bins should also be emptied and set out for collection when necessary.

These are areas that require maximum attention, but as a tenant, you might overlook them. This is why it’s recommended to hire professional bond back cleaning services in Sydney who can ensure a thorough cleanup.
