End of Tenancy Cleaning near you in New Zealand

Yes. End of tenancy crews arrive with professional products, oven-cleaning chemicals, and often steam or hot-water extraction machines. You only need to provide access, power, and running water.

A full top-to-bottom clean of the empty property: inside the oven and appliances, inside cupboards, limescale removal, skirting boards, windows inside, and a deep clean of the bathroom and kitchen. Carpet steam cleaning is usually a paid extra.

You need to return the property in the same state of cleanliness as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Cleaning disputes are the single most common reason deposits get docked, so a professional clean with an invoice is cheap insurance on larger deposits.

An end of tenancy clean follows an agency-style checklist designed to pass a checkout inspection, covering inside appliances and cupboards in an empty property. A deep clean is done in a furnished, lived-in home and is scoped room by room rather than to an inventory standard.

A one-bedroom flat typically takes a two-person team 3-5 hours. A three-bedroom house can take 6-10 hours or a larger crew. The property should be empty of furniture and belongings for the fastest result.

If the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in, or your lease requires it, yes — keep the receipt. Otherwise vacuuming plus spot-cleaning to match the move-in condition is generally enough.

No. The Residential Tenancies Act only requires the property left reasonably clean and tidy. However, if the Tenancy Tribunal finds it wasn't, cleaning costs come out of your bond — so a professional clean with invoice removes the argument entirely.
