Bond Cleaning Sydney
42 reviews
Late, but satisfactory – They did a reasonable job. Arrived 2 hours later than planned, but the quality was good. I chose them because they were cheap, and you get what you pay for. Didnt do any of the scammy stuff other reviewers mentioned. But I prepared the property to be easy as possible to clean.
Absolutely disgraceful – AVOID !! Do not use this company. SCAMMERS If there was 0 stars -that’s what these people would get from me. Worst cleaning job ever. I had to go over everything they apparently cleaned and clean it myself. Complete waste of money. I asked them to return to re clean, they never showed up. DO not use. Never ever again.

Buyer Beware – Unprofessional, Unethical, and Misleading I paid $510 for an end-of-lease clean, only to be told that this doesn’t include a built-in fridge — completely absurd. I was also told that the apartment has too many drawers that need cleaning, despite it being 125 square metres — a standard-sized apartment. BCIC’s service is shockingly… Read more
unprofessional. The apartment was completely vacant, yet the cleaners ignored essential areas like drawers, cupboards, and other key spaces, leaving them either untouched or cleaned to an unacceptable standard. During the scheduled booking, the team spent more time complaining on the phone from the balcony than actually cleaning — a deliberate tactic to pressure customers into paying extra. Throughout the day, I was badgered relentlessly for additional money and threatened that the job would be discontinued if I didn’t pay. This is a scam, designed to lure you in with a quote and then squeeze extra funds. The photos I provided clearly show multiple missed or poorly cleaned areas, and I personally had to spend over two hours re-cleaning these areas myself — an outcome utterly unreasonable given the service I paid for. When I raised my concerns, BCIC offered a $50 gift voucher — insulting, dismissive, and completely useless. Do yourself a huge favour — DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. With numerous negative reviews online, it is astonishing that this company continues to operate with such poor customer service.
RESPONSE TO COMPANY REPLY
Let’s be clear - when I called to request an end-of-lease clean, the quote provided over the phone was for a full end-of-lease clean. You cannot tell me that doesn’t include cleaning an in-built fridge - that’s a basic expectation in any proper bond clean.
What’s not mentioned in their response is that there were two cleaners, and one of them spent a considerable amount of time on the balcony calling the company to complain about the job rather than actually cleaning. After they left, I personally spent over two hours cleaning areas that were either ignored or left in an unacceptable state — cupboards, drawers, and surfaces that any reasonable cleaner would have covered in a bond clean.
They also left the air conditioner running when they departed - another sign of carelessness and lack of professionalism.
The worst part, however, was the constant phone calls throughout the day demanding extra money and threatening to pull the job if I didn’t agree. Shameful, to say the least.
And yes, I do consider my request for a partial refund of $250 more than reasonable, given the stress, inconvenience, and incompetence I experienced.
If anyone doubts my experience, I encourage you to read the other poor reviews - there’s a clear pattern here. This company draws you in with a competitive quote, then pressures you for more money once the job starts.
Do not be fooled. Avoid this company at all costs.

Avoid! Unless you want to lose your bond! – I have never written a product review but was treated so badly by this company I feel compelled to warn others. Do not use them! I paid more than $300 and they left the house with food on the floor, and did not complete the jobs as per the agreed checklist. I had to return and clean the apartment myself - driving back 2hrs after relocating to a… Read more
regional area. When I asked them to honour their "guarantee" and return, they ignored my request and when I finally got through to someone they argued about why they would not send a cleaner. They also changed the date and time of my original booking at the last minute which was very inconvenient and the cleaner went to the wrong address despite having clear instructions! I ended up having to spend money out of my bond to pay for another cleaner to attend after them, and returning myself to clean up what they missed Disgraceful.

Bad experience – I organised a bond cleaning today. Price quoted was just to get the cleaners in the door, then got phone call to upsell as what was supposed to be cleaned, was no longer going to be cleaned. Money has to be paid up front. I would not recommend this service as I have to go back tomorrow and do all the cleaning that was supposed to be done. Never use this company
SCAM DO NOT GO WITH THEM!!! AVOID AT ALL COST! – If I could provided 0 stars, I would. Service provided last week. DO NOT GO WITH THEM! They get to the property and start adding on extra costs and demand you pay extra or they walk out. The place is absolutely still filthy and they are extremely rude. Do not fall for the "Bond Back Guarantee" as it's all a scam. This entire company is a Scam… Read more
and is absolutely rude.
Luckily I documented everything and will be taking further legal action. Fair trading will be notified of this company and the scam they produce.
Absolute scammers – If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolute scammers. They took my deposit but never turned up for the clean. I called them when they were 45mins late where the women said she would call me back with an ETS but she never did. Have tried to contact them multiples time however they keep ignoring my calls and messages. DO NOT USE!!
DO NOT use this company if you want your bond returned – My tenant used this company to perform the end of lease clean. After the tenant advised me of issues getting them to turn up on the day she had booked she finally managed to get them there & get the clean completed in time. This had already made me sceptical of the likely results. One of the worst cleans I have inspected & being in the real… Read more
estate industry I have seen many. The tenant had left the property reasonably clean to begin with, however, after they had been all windows & doors left filthy, bathrooms barely cleaned, dust & cob webs left everywhere, smears & streaks on almost every surface. My tenant demanded they return and complete a list of specific items that had not been completed as she had requested. They did re-attend the property but I'm not sure what they did except for wipe down one of the many dirty window. A claim was made against the bond & the cleaning costs for having the property completed properly by another company were deducted.
Not sure how companies like this survive in this day & age. The only thing they did a half reasonable job on was the oven, however, it wasn't great.
Didnt turn up - then hung up onme – They were meant to clean windows. They never turned up or accepted my calls. Then when I finally got through, they hung up on me. Time wasters and not happy!
Terrible clean, terrible service – Stated a bond guarantee and a return if cleaning isn't completed properly - none of this was provided. They also took all of my cleaning products that were left for any touch ups. Just awful.
Scammers – This is a scamming company. Came to clean property for EOL cleaning and all that was done was vacuuming and mopping of the kitchen and carpet. They left without getting anything else done and when I called back to rebook they didn't turn up on the day again and told me unable to get in touch with their cleaners! Asked for a refund and haven't heard anything back yet
SCAMMERS DO NOT USE!! ALL EQUALLY DODGY- BOND CLEANING SYDNEY/ BOND CLEANERS IN CANBERRA, BEST BOND IN QLD – There are MULTIPLE companies running the same dodgy business - I suspect they're all the same people as they're format, booking process, websites are all the same and the reviews are all equally concerning. In QLD they're 'Best Bond Cleaners', in Sydney they're 'Bond Cleaning Sydney' & 'Bond Clean Sydney', in Canberra they're 'Bond Cleaning in… Read more
Canberra'. They use key words to get the listing and then they make you pay upfront and either dont do the job you paid for or damage your house. We were left with a dirty house and damaged floors which came out of our pocket. They denied responsibility and refused to reimburse or refund the money/They have been reported to fair trading by multiple people and are still in business!!!!
If there is zero star, I will give that to this company – Paid $320 last week to do 1br EOS cleaning. The spanish cleaner only carried a baby size vacuums claimed she could use it for vacuuming the carpet. She didn't even have enough cleaning tools/liquid(I had to go to WW to buy her clog liquid, she didn't have the multi funcitonal cleaning liquid for mold. ) Though she spent 5 hrs at my old apartment… Read more
(didnt know what's she doing), when my mum and I went for check, we both surprised nothing changed, we had to vacuum by ourselves and cleaned the door and floor as she refused to do so claiming she doesn't understand English. She rushed to leave, forgetting to take her jacket and mop at my place. The real estate agency refused to return my bond as the cleaning was terrible. Tried to call/email to Bond Cleaning, they agreed to call the real estate agency and send another cleaner on the same day, it turned out they never call the agency and only asked the same Spanish girl to contact me. Now they completely disappeared, and I was forced to use the real estate agency's preferred cleaner and paid one more time. And now, I just found out the invoice they sent me was a fake one without showing the invoice number.

Go with someone else – Acted unprofessional, refused to start work until paid in full first even after paying a deposit to book. Demanded extra money on the day. Left without waiting for me to return and check what had been done (even though I requested). Did a basic clean, didn’t bother cleaning air conditioners or ceiling vents. Ended up cleaning a lot myself anyway… Read more
after paying a lot money for a “full bond clean service”. Won’t be using again would rather pay a professional service. These guys are just money grabbers that outsource cleaners that are not professional at all.
Awful Service – I booked an end of lease clean for a studio apartment with Bond Cleaning in Sydney. I gave this service full instructions, to pick up the key from the Real Estate office, where to park etc. I was bombarded with phone calls while I was at work as the cleaner could not find the Real Estatete office which was 5 minutes away from the job. Then there… Read more
was a problem with parking despite a car park behind the apartment. I had even offered to reimburse the cost of parking. They then cancelled the job and said they would do it the next day. The real estate was showing the apartment the next day so the job needed to be completed on the day it was booked. I told them I would get someone else and asked for my money back that I had paid in full. They then called me again at work (really busy day at work) to tell me that they had found a cleaner that could clean on the booked day. I had already cancelled them. They told me they would keep a third of the payment as a cancellation fee!!! My opinion of this company is they are useless. I do not recommend them.
End of lease cleaning – Terrible Experience – NEVER USE these guys service We had booked them for our End of Lease cleaning; all details were agreed over the phone with the manager as in what is included in the checklist. The two cleaners showed up approx. 4:00pm on Sunday the 9/8/2020. They started with survey of the apartment and nit picking items which were are not… Read more
in their scope. However, we kept listening to them and told not to worry about those things which are not included in the cleaning package and to start the cleaning as per the plan. So they started telling us they will not be cleaning for number of things including mould near the kitchen sink area, microwave, walls and glass door outside etc., which we agreed that we will pay extra $$ for glass cleaning. However, one of the cleaner (female) started arguing that – they will not provide us guarantee (If the cleaning is not up to the mark for the Real Estate manager – they will not come back and redo the items identified). We told them that everything is agreed with the Cheap Bond Cleaning Sydney – do not understand your purpose of complicating the situation. After 20 min of arguing with them one of the cleaner gives the statement that – they took this job as this was in City and we don’t have to do much. And trust me our apartment was very much clean and just need the standard cleaning but then also they had so many issues. So we had enough and called their manager and told them the entire story. (Time 5:00pm) He told us that the cleaners don’t wish to work on this job anymore and he can’t arrange any new cleaners on Sunday and this time. It seems these guys outsource the cleaning jobs unprofessional individuals who just wish to make extra cash over weekend. The manager agreed to refund the advance booking $50 at least. Nightmare - In the end they went way and my wife and I had to clean the entire apartment ourselves as we had committed the keys to be handed over next day Monday. We had been renting in Sydney for last 15 years – never ever had just WORST and STRESSFULL experience. Never ever use these guys’ services. They are very unprofessional, unexperienced services. Not recommended at all.
The worst customer service I have ever received – They came an hour and a half late on the day of the job and completed half of it. When I tried to get the guaranteed re clean, they purposefully took over 7 days to get back to me to claim that they then could not complete it (after saying several times they were trying to organise a cleaner). I would NEVER recommend this service as they are… Read more
complete scam artists. Use someone else as they will just waste your time, and money. I will be marking this as a fraudulent charge and getting my money back.
OMG. Run away – Cleaning not complete. Charged extra for key return to Realestate and just put them in next doors letterbox. Didn’t return as promised to clean house after inspection. Blamed us as the client for being dirty as to why they didn’t clean the house. DO NOT USE.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A SCAM – Paid a $50 deposit to secure a cleaner at 10am 2 weeks in advance. The day before they call me to tell me they cant come till 3pm I told them I need to hand the key back at 2:30pm so it wont work. They said theyll call back to organise, they never did. Called them multiple times no one can give me an answer. So I canceled them and they tell me I need to pay a cancellation fee. That wont happen. Requesting my refund of $50 through the bank.
Scam artists – These guys are classic bait and switch. Rock up and then say they don't actually do things like clean windows without being paid more money. Then they try and stand over you. I was lucky enough that they left and didn't do the job because by the look of these other comments they also do a terrible job.
Money well spent – I was left in the lurch by another cleaning company at the last minute. Luckily I called Sanjeet who took the job, he did a fabulous job. I was given my full bond back, and the real estate agent was desperate to know what cleaning company I used! I was thoroughly impressed, and am so surprised that the reviews for this company are so bad. The… Read more
total payment amount was more than what was quoted would be my only criticism, but overall I was absolutely thrilled with the work carried out. Thank you Sanjeet!
Terrible experience – Guy rescheduled as his 'van broke down'. On the day he was then supposed to show up he never did, didn't answer his phone and finally turned up 7 hours after he was supposed to. Also did a poor cleaning job, wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy

Worst cleaners in Sydney! THEY ARE A SCAM! – Do not trust this company! They are a complete scam. I paid $480 for an end of lease clean plus carpet steam cleaning for a two bedroom unit. The steam cleaning guy never showed up, and the house was nowhere near clean- there was dirt all over the floor, & the bathroom & kitchen weren't even wiped down - it was a disgrace. I had to clean the place myself after they'd finished. Complete waste of time and money. THEY ARE A SCAM!
Terrible, no bond back – We had to pay extra onthe day, for additional ‘work’. Then they took away the bond back guarantee. Our real estate came back with 7 (!) issues of items that were not clean enough. We could not reach bond cleaning, no reply to our emails. We have now had to pay for another cleaner. Don’t go with this company!!
Paid $1,400 for a filthy house – Paid $1,400 to have the whole place cleaned. The place is still filthy. They have avoided my text & calls all day. Stay away from these cleaners!!!! If you pay by credit card call the bank & ask for a chargeback. That's what I'm doing. I will also lodge a complaint with Fair Trading & NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) where, if you supply… Read more
evidence of their incomplete job, NCAT will give you a garnish order to have a court return your money to you!!
Terrible- do avoid at all costs – Avoid! Shoddy business practice. Don't come close to delivering on their 100% guarantee. If you request a refund their email trail will just go cold. If you persist in arguing with them you'll be met with menacing emails threatening to ruin your credit rating / get debt collectors on your case. I wish I had bothered to google the company for reviews before getting their service, but at the time I was in a rush and didn't bother.
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE – End of lease clean - job was cancelled after the cleaner already told me he was on his way. Rescheduled for the next day (at great inconvenience to me). Cleaners were late. The job was absolutely APPALLING. They did not actually clean the property at all, then were argumentative when I asked them to re-do it. Even after re-cleaning, the apartment… Read more
did not pass outgoing inspection. Cleaners were rude and unprofessional - they couldn't care less. Do NOT waste your money.
Extremely poor attention to detail – After having the agent call me to say there were issues, and having this company go back to 'fix' what they hadn't cleaned, the agent was still calling me saying it wasn't done properly. I actually thought the agent was probably just being picky but in the end I went back myself to look and ended up spending 3 hours cleaning the house myself. … Read more
Not sure what I paid $600 for, I think a 'token' clean was done, ie only what was most obvious and visible. One of the toilets had not been cleaned at all; the sides of all of the toilets were dusty; corners and edges of all floors had grime and dirt/dust in them and hadn't been wiped; no spot cleaning done on the walls at all; cobwebs still in place; floors not cleaned properly (in fact one I could tell hadn't even been mopped at all - there was still a muddy footprint from my window cleaner that I had noticed at the time but thought "I'm moving in a couple of days, the cleaners will get that"....was still there, no mop had gone near it; vacuuming throughout house not done thoroughly; ducted heating grates not wiped, they were filthy; shower glass not properly cleaned; kitchen sink was not clean; oven hob was not wiped clean. I'm left wondering what they actually DID do. Also after the last visit by them, the agent reported that they left the hose on, the garage light on and a bathroom light on, plus one of the back doors unlocked. This was all left overnight and luckily the agent went in the next day. I don't think I'll ever use a cleaning service again, first and last time. I wish I had read the reviews on this site before hiring them.
Do not use this service! – Like the other reviews, they didn't clean the apartment properly. I had to go and buy cleaning supplies to clean what they missed since I had already moved out. The balcony was a disaster, and they didn't even open the wardrobe door to clean it. They also will not guarantee your bond if you've left ANYTHING in the apartment which they didn't tell… Read more
me until the cleaner showed up, and for me meant one basket full of items, all furniture was gone, the place was 99% empty. They've now told me "oh well" and said I can't get any compensation for the cleaning I had to do on my own. Absolutely horrible service.
Biggest disgrace of a business – Don't use these people. Massive scam! Didn’t even clean place properly, I had to go back and clean the place myself. Paid $400 for a quick 2.5 hour job of a 3 bedroom townhouse. My biggest mistake is that I used this business and didn’t look at reviews before. Absolute disgrace! Wish I could give -100 stars for the disappointment and extra stress you have caused me. Scammers!!
Crappiest cleaning company ever! Be aware, they do not clean! – Paid $350 and what did I get? A filthy house!!! You sending us a picture of your worker not be able to reach ceiling fans is a joke! Even though we advised you on the phone we want those clean!!! I can see I’m not the first one being ripped off by these clowns. Won’t let it go, they will be reported to Fair trading. Luckily I went after them to see how they clean property, an absolute joke!!!
Useless didn't even turn up kept promising to come and stopped taking my calls – Hopeless overseas people can barely speak English. Total stuff around. Beware do not book. Liars and thieves. I am reporting them.
Avoid!!! – I wish I would have been smart enough to read the reviews before I booked these thieves. They did not clean anything! They said that we had to pay up front and could not be present while they 'cleaned'. Now I know why, it's because they don't clean. For $360 I had to vacate my home for six hours only to return to discover that I now had to do all… Read more
the cleaning myself anyway, as well as hire another company to clean the carpet (which they didn't even vacuum) and to clean the oven and range hood. Their contractor [name removed] is the rudest, most shonky snake I've ever dealt with!
Horrible! Beware!! – These idiots stuffed us around from start to finish. First they didn’t bother showing up at the agreed time, so we had to schedule another date. When they showed up they didn’t clean the place properly and now refuse to reply to any emails or phone calls. Bunch of scammers! I have had to contact fair trade to attempt to get my money back and… Read more
will also be seeking legal advice because I’ll be damned if they get away with this.
Do not go near these clowns.
Worst service – Rudest people ever, 100% bond back guarantee is a joke. Were reluctant to come back after initial clean was terrible.
