The full answer for Queensland tenants
In Queensland, the cost of a bond clean is driven by the size and condition of the property and the specific clauses in your tenancy agreement. A 1-bedroom unit in inner Brisbane typically starts around $250, while a 4–5 bedroom house in the western suburbs can reach $700 or more once carpets, pest control and garden tidy-ups are added.
The single biggest variable is whether your lease requires professional carpet steam-cleaning. Most Queensland tenancy agreements state that carpets must be professionally cleaned to AS/NZS 3733 at the end of the tenancy, and this is almost always a separate charge of around $120 for a standard home. If you kept pets, pest control (roughly $150) is commonly required too.
The good news: a properly scoped bond clean is an investment, not a cost. A clean that fails the property manager's inspection can cost you far more in withheld bond money than the clean itself. That's why Bond. Clean QLD scopes every job to the entry condition report and backs it with a bond-back guarantee.
Bond clean cost FAQ
How much does a bond clean cost in QLD on average?
Across Queensland, a standard end-of-lease bond clean ranges from about $250 for a 1-bedroom unit up to $700+ for a large 4–5 bedroom home. The Queensland average for a typical 3-bedroom house sits around $450–$550, before optional carpet steam-cleaning and pest control.
Is carpet steam cleaning included in the bond clean price?
Not always. Many quotes list carpet steam cleaning as a separate line item (around $120 for a standard home) because it must be performed to AS/NZS 3733. Check your tenancy agreement, as most QLD leases require it for a bond refund.
Do I have to pay for pest control to get my bond back?
Only if you kept pets at the property. Queensland tenancy agreements commonly make pest control a tenant responsibility in that case. If you had no pets, it's generally not required.
What does a bond clean actually include?
A full bond clean covers the kitchen (oven, rangehood, splashback), all wet areas (mould and limescale removal), dusting, skirting, window sills and tracks, floors, and a full detail to the standard of the entry condition report.
Does Bond. Clean QLD guarantee I'll get my bond back?
