GOT QUESTIONS?

WE HAVE ANSWERS!

How far in advance should I book?

You can book as little as 24 hours in advance subject to availability. For recurring bookings or specific time slots, booking 3 to 5 days ahead gives you the best choice of available Pros.

Can I reschedule or cancel my booking?

Yes. Manage your booking through your Squeaky Lemon account. You can reschedule, skip, or cancel anytime — no lock-in contracts.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

Life happens — here's exactly how it works, no surprises.

More than 24 hours before your clean:
Cancel or change for free. No fees, no questions asked.

Less than 24 hours before your clean:
A cancellation fee of 50% of your booking total applies.

Less than 2 hours before your clean, or if you cancel on the spot:
A fee equal to 100% of your booking total applies. At this point your Pro has either already travelled to your property or is about to — this fee covers their committed time.

The easiest way to avoid fees is to let us know as early as possible.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The price shown in the calculator is the price you pay. There are no call-out fees, travel fees, or service charges added at checkout. The only exception is a late cancellation fee if a booking is cancelled inside 24 hours.

Does End of Lease Cleaning qualify for a frequency discount?

No. End of Lease Cleaning is a one-off service. Frequency discounts and recurring booking options do not apply.

When do I get charged?

For most services, your card is authorised the day before your clean to confirm payment — you are only charged once the job is complete.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Only for End of Lease and Move-in / Move-out services, a 50% deposit will be applied once we have confirmed the service with you. The remaining balance will be processed after your service has been completed.

Will I be charged extra if the clean takes longer than expected?

No — not without your permission.

Our room-based services are results-based, not time-limited. Your Pro works through every task on the checklist until the job meets our standard, regardless of how long it takes.

When you book, you'll receive an estimated duration. This is a guideline — our Pros often finish faster.

If the clean runs over the estimate, here's exactly what happens:

  • Up to 1 hour over estimate — covered at no extra charge, every time.
  • More than 1 hour over estimate — we'll contact you first and confirm before any additional charges apply. You're always in control.

We call this our Fair-Go Policy. You'll never receive an unexpected bill.

Is the End of Lease clean guaranteed?

Yes — and our guarantee goes further than most.

Most cleaning companies give you 48 to 72 hours after the clean to report any issues. We give you 7 days.

If your property manager identifies any issue with the cleaning work within the scope of your booked service and selected extras, contact us within 7 days of the clean and we'll return to fix the specific items at no extra charge. No disputes, no fine print.

Your bond is protected.

Does End of Lease Cleaning include carpet steam cleaning?

No. Carpet steam cleaning is an add-on service that can be booked alongside your end of lease clean. Confirm with your property manager whether it is required before booking.

Can I book End of Lease Cleaning hourly?

No. End of Lease Cleaning is room-based only. Every room in the property needs to be completed to inspection standard — an hourly booking cannot guarantee that outcome. Pricing is confirmed upfront based on the rooms in your property.

Don’t wait until your place gets overwhelming.

See your price before you book. Pay only after the clean.

A comprehensive, inspection-ready end of tenancy clean built to get your full bond back — following the real estate checklist your property manager will use.

The end of lease clean is the most consequential clean you'll book. It directly determines whether your bond is returned in full or disputed. With bonds routinely running to thousands of dollars across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, and Sydney, this is not the job to leave to chance or to a cheap service that cuts corners.

Squeaky Lemon's end of lease cleaning service is built around one objective: getting your full bond back. Every Pro follows a comprehensive end of tenancy checklist aligned with real estate agency standards in QLD, VIC, and NSW. This covers every item your property manager will inspect during the final walkthrough.

We recommend booking your end of lease clean for the day of or the day after vacating — with furniture removed and utilities still connected. This gives your Pro unobstructed access to every surface and the ability to use water and power throughout the clean.

Pricing is room-based, calculated across all spaces in your property — bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living areas, laundry, and more — and confirmed in full before booking. End of Lease Cleaning is a one-off service. There are no recurring booking options and frequency discounts do not apply. You pay only once the job is complete. If your property manager identifies any issue within 24 hours of inspection, contact us and we will return to address it at no additional cost. Your bond is protected.
