What affects the price
Home size & bathrooms
A move-out clean covers every surface top to bottom, so more rooms, bathrooms and kitchen appliances mean more hours and higher cost.
Condition on move-out
A well-kept home cleans faster; heavy grease, mold, or neglect adds significant time to reach a bond-return standard.
Included extras
Inside-oven, windows, walls, blinds and carpet steam cleaning are often add-ons — check whether the quote is a full bond-back package.
