Bond clean / end-of-lease clean

The cleaning required when you leave a rental, to the standard the agent will accept for full bond return.

What newcomers get wrong

It's a higher standard than 'normal clean' — oven, blinds, carpet shampoo, and 'fly-spec removal' are typical line items. Hire a 'bond cleaner' (~$300–$700 for a 2-bedroom) and keep the receipt; agents accept that more readily than DIY.
