Answers to what people actually ask
Pricing, access, insurance and bond cleans. If your question isn't here, call us — we'd rather talk it through.
Booking & pricing
Fill in the quote form, call, or text photos of the job. Most quotes come back the same day and always within 2 hours. Standard residential work we can price over the phone; commercial and builders cleans we prefer to walk the site.
Bond cleans, spring cleans, oven, tile and carpet work are quoted as fixed prices, so you know the number before we start. Regular house cleaning can be either. Commercial is scoped and quoted per site.
Not for regular cleaning. For bond cleans, deep cleans and builders cleans over $300 we ask for a small deposit to hold the date, which comes off the final invoice.
Bank transfer, card, or cash. Invoices are issued on completion with 7-day terms. Commercial accounts can be set up monthly.
For end of lease and one-off bookings, cancellations with less than 3 business days' notice incur a $120 fee, because the slot can't be refilled at short notice. Recurring house cleaning is more relaxed — 48 hours' notice and there's no charge.
On the day
No. Most of our regular clients are at work. We'll arrange a key safe, lockbox or smart-lock code. Every cleaner is police-checked and insured.
Yes — vacuums, mops, cloths, chemicals, ladders and machines. If you'd prefer we use your products for allergy or surface reasons, just leave them out.
On request, at no extra cost. We use plant-based, low-VOC products that are safe around kids, pets and asthma. Just tick the box when you book.
You'll get a two-hour arrival window the day before and a text when the team is on the way. We work Monday to Sunday, 24 hours.
Year round. For carpet work in the colder months we bring air movers so drying times stay in the 3–6 hour range.
Trust & guarantees
Yes — we are fully insured with public liability cover and current workers compensation. Certificates of currency are available on request, which property managers and facilities teams ask for regularly.
Every one of them, before their first job. They're employed and trained by us, not subcontracted out to whoever is available.
Call within 7 days and we'll come back and fix it free. That's the whole guarantee — no forms, no argument. It's rare, and we'd rather fix it than lose you.
Tell us immediately. We're insured and we've never disputed a legitimate claim. We also photograph anything already damaged before we start, so there's no confusion later.
ABN 98 784 288 586. Every job gets a proper tax invoice, which matters if you're claiming a bond clean or running the cost through a business.
Bond & end of lease
Our checklist is built from the exit condition reports ACT and Queanbeyan agents actually use. Agents across Canberra accept our invoices routinely.
Call within 7 days of the service with the report and we return free to fix anything on our checklist. We don't cover damage, gardens or things outside the agreed scope.
Most ACT and NSW leases require it, and agents usually want a receipt. Bundle it with the bond clean and it's cheaper, on one invoice.
We can, but it costs more and the result is compromised. Wherever possible, book us after the removalists have gone.
End of lease and carpet cleaning questions
The cost depends on the property size and condition, number of bathrooms and any additional services. Packages start from approximately $350 for an empty one-bedroom unit. Contact Cleaning Spark Solutions for a personalised quote based on your property.
Professional cleaning can improve your chances of passing the final inspection, but no cleaning company can guarantee the return of your bond because the property manager or landlord makes the final decision. Deductions may also relate to unpaid rent, property damage or other tenancy issues. Our team follows a detailed checklist and offers a 7-day cleaning guarantee, subject to our service terms.
A standard bond clean generally covers the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. It may include the oven, stovetop, cupboards, benchtops, sinks, showers, toilets, floors, skirting boards, window tracks and other accessible surfaces. Carpet steam cleaning, internal windows, walls, balconies and other specialised services depend on the package selected. We provide a clear scope of work with your quote.
Carpet cleaning prices depend on the number and size of rooms, carpet condition, stain treatment requirements and property access. Pet stains, strong odours and heavily soiled carpets may require additional treatment. Contact Cleaning Spark Solutions with your property details for an accurate carpet-cleaning quote.
Look for an experienced and insured company with professional equipment, transparent pricing and genuine customer reviews. A reliable carpet cleaner should inspect the carpet, explain the process and give realistic advice about stains and drying times. Avoid promises that every stain will disappear, because some permanent or older stains cannot be removed completely.
End of lease carpet cleaning is not automatically required in every rental property. Check your tenancy agreement and ask your property manager about the requirements for your home. Professional carpet cleaning may be appropriate if it is required under your agreement, the carpet is heavily soiled, or additional treatment is needed for pets or stains. Arrange it early enough for the carpet to dry before the final inspection.
