Question & Answers
Q: Does a home have to be empty to be cleaned?
No. We clean furnished homes as well but there are certain items that we will not move because they are fragile or breakable. Homes that are furnished usually take longer to clean so they will cost more in most cases.
​
Q: How many cleaners will be sent to my home?
Most jobs involve a team of 2-3 cleaners but arrangements can be made if more cleaners are needed.
​
Q: How long will it take to clean my home?
The time required will depend on the size of your home and the condition of the property.
​
Q: How much advance notice is needed to book cleaning services?
We suggest that you book the services needed as soon as possible. We try to oblige last minute bookings but this is not always possible
​
Yes.
​
Q: Do you offer a bond back guarantee?
We do not provide bond back guarantee but assure you we will give our 100% to clean the property.
​
​
Q: What if the landlord or agent complains about the cleaning performed?
Our services are charged by the hour as we do not give fixed quotes for our jobs. Since this service is charged by time, if your landlord isn’t happy with the clean-up, our team is ready to return to clean any missed items, and you will only be charged for the extra time taken to clean, without having to pay the minimum booking charges again. It's your responsibility to ensure we have access to return to the property to clean or redo any items that might have been missed or are unsatisfactory, even if your lease has ended. You are still required to pay for the time our cleaners spend on site even if there is a complaint from you or from your real estate agent or landlord, and no refunds will be given for time spent cleaning under any circumstances, as having to return back to clean missed or unsatisfactory items is a normal thing and it’s very easy to have missed some details during the clean, especially when the job is large or the place is very dirty to start with, and since you were not charged for that extra time to clean the complaint items initially, you will be required to pay for the extra time required upon our cleaners return to the property.
​
Q: Do you provide steam carpet cleaning?
No. Carpets that need to be steam cleaned or dry cleaned require additional arrangements. We can recommend companies for this service but we do not provide steam cleaning or dry cleaning for carpet.
​
Q: Do you clean bathroom and kitchen tile?
We clean tiles in the bathroom and kitchen with all services but this is a light cleaning not a restoration clean. If you have tile that is in bad condition or has become discoloured or stained then you need to let us know this in advance because these problems require professional tile cleaning and this might be expensive. We can recommend companies for this service but we do not provide professional restoration cleaning for tiles.
​
Q: Do you provide window cleaning?
Window interiors are always cleaned but the exterior of the windows are done only on request.
​
Q: Do you clean refrigerators and stoves?
Yes
​
Q: Do you clean wooden floors?
Wooden floors are swept and mopped as a standard part of our cleaning services. If polishing or waxing is desired then we can reccommend the right company for waxing and polishing your wooden floors
​
Q: Are exterior cobwebs removed?
Exterior cobwebs can be removed upon request. This service must be requested in advance when the appointment is scheduled. Interior cobwebs are removed as part of the general cleaning services.
​
Q: Are there any special preparations needed before the cleaners arrive?
Before the scheduled appointment you will need to do some basic cleaning and clearing the floors of clutter and objects. Any furniture or large items should be moved if this is necessary. This makes it possible for the cleaners to do a professional and thorough job.
​
We can clean your garage if this service is needed. We will not go through a packed garage and sort your items for you but we can sweep, remove cobwebs, and perform other general cleaning services for this room on request.
​
Q: Do you move furniture when cleaning?
Our cleaners do not move heavy furniture, or items that are fragile and may be broken very easily. These items must be moved before our arrival. Our cleaners will assist when possible if needed in moving small lightweight items that are sturdy and not fragile.
​
Q: Why will not the cleaners move certain objects?
Some objects are too heavy or too fragile for our cleaners to take responsibility. Glass knickknacks, heavy tables, and other similar items are difficult or fragile and our cleaners can not take responsibility for moving any items in the home.
​
Q: Are the cleaners experienced?
All of the cleaners at End Of Lease Cleaning are fully trained and have experience in the professional cleaning industry. Our cleaners always work in teams with a minimum of two individuals, to ensure that the job is completed properly and there are no safety concerns.
​
Q: What if I need a large number of cleaners for a large home or project?
We can arrange to have any number of cleaners available for your scheduled appointment, whether you need 2 cleaners or 10. If a large number of cleaning specialists will be needed this must be specified in advance when the appointment is booked.
​
Q: When do I have to pay for the services?
Payment for the cleaning services are due within a week when the job is finished. Every booking is different, and may require a different amount of time and number of cleaners.
​
No. The full amount due for the services provided is expected when the services are finished and the cleaning is complete. For some bookings, such as large orders where many cleaners are needed, a deposit may be required depending on the specific circumstances.
