Moving house is stressful enough without the added worry of losing your bond. In Perth, real estate agents and landlords expect vacated properties to be spotless—and a thorough end-of-lease cleaning is key to getting your deposit back in full. That’s where a clear, step-by-step checklist makes all the difference.
At KBC Services, we’ve supported hundreds of tenants across Perth with reliable, professional end-of-lease cleaning that ticks all the boxes. Whether you’re in Belmont, Osborne Park or Dianella, our team knows exactly what agents are looking for—and how to deliver it.
Why a Cleaning Checklist Matters
Real estate inspections can be unforgiving. A few overlooked details—like dusty skirting boards or greasy rangehoods—can mean delays or deductions from your bond. Our comprehensive cleaning checklist is built to ensure nothing gets missed. It’s more than a tidy-up—it’s a bond-return safeguard.
General Cleaning Tasks (All Rooms)
- Remove all cobwebs from walls and ceilings
- Dust and wipe down walls, light switches, and skirting boards
- Clean windows (inside), sills, and tracks
- Vacuum and mop all floors
- Wipe down wardrobes, cupboards, and drawers
- Clean air conditioning vents and ceiling fans
- Remove any nails, blu-tack, or stickers from walls
For homes in high-traffic areas like Malaga or Wangara, additional focus on dust and exterior entry points is often required.
Kitchen Cleaning Checklist
- Clean inside and outside all cupboards and drawers
- Degrease stovetop, rangehood, oven, and grill
- Wipe down benchtops and splashbacks
- Polish sink and taps
- Remove food particles from dishwasher filters and door seals
- Clean microwave (inside and out)
- Mop floors with extra attention to greasy spots
For built-in appliances, don’t forget to check under and behind them—especially when it comes to oven recesses.
Bathroom & Laundry Checklist
- Scrub shower tiles and screens (remove soap scum and mould)
- Disinfect toilets (inside, outside, and behind)
- Clean vanities, mirrors, and basins
- Polish taps and stainless-steel fittings
- Wipe down cupboard interiors and exteriors
- Mop and disinfect floors
- Clear lint filters in laundry appliances
- Clean behind and under washing machines/dryers
Additional Cleaning Areas
Outdoor Areas (if applicable):
- Sweep patios, balconies, or alfresco zones
- Remove cobwebs
- Clean light fittings and remove dust from exterior fixtures
- Wipe down outdoor furniture and BBQs (if provided)
Garage & Sheds:

For properties in leafy areas like Joondalup or Bayswater, outdoor maintenance can be a crucial part of the final inspection.
Carpet Cleaning – A Must for Most Leases
Most tenancy agreements in Perth include a condition requiring professional carpet cleaning before vacating. KBC Services uses commercial-grade equipment to lift deep dirt, pet hair, and stains, leaving carpets fresh and inspection-ready.
Don’t Forget Rubbish Removal
All rubbish must be removed from bins, outdoor areas, and the property entirely. Our rubbish removal services include green waste, furniture, or miscellaneous junk, especially helpful for last-minute cleanouts.
