Moving out of a rental in Perth? Getting your bond back hinges on leaving the property in the condition you found it — or better. Property managers in Perth are thorough, and even small oversights can result in deductions from your bond. This room-by-room checklist will help you (or your professional cleaners) cover every detail.
Kitchen
The kitchen is the area property managers scrutinise most. Clean the oven inside and out, including racks and the glass door. Degrease the rangehood and filters thoroughly. Wipe down all cupboard interiors and exteriors. Clean the stovetop, splashback, and benchtops. Don't forget the dishwasher interior, the refrigerator (including behind and underneath), and the sink and tap fixtures. Remove any grease buildup from walls near the cooking area.
Bathrooms and Toilets
Scrub the shower recess, including tile grout and glass screens. Remove any mould or soap scum from silicone seals. Clean the toilet bowl, cistern, and base. Wipe mirrors, vanity units, and all fixtures. Clean exhaust fans and light fittings. Check behind the toilet and under the vanity for dust and debris.
Bedrooms and Living Areas
Vacuum all carpeted areas thoroughly, including edges and corners. If the property has hard floors, mop them with appropriate cleaning solution. Wipe skirting boards, window sills, and door frames. Clean inside built-in wardrobes, including shelves and tracks. Remove cobwebs from ceilings and corners. Clean light switches and power points.
Windows and Blinds
Clean window glass inside and out where accessible. Pay attention to window tracks — a common area where property managers find issues. Dust or wipe blinds on both sides. Clean flyscreens if present.
Outdoor Areas
Sweep patios, balconies, and garage floors. Remove cobwebs from eaves and outdoor light fittings. Clean the front door and entry area. Ensure garden areas are tidy if you were responsible for maintenance.
Final Touches
Replace any blown light globes. Remove all personal items, rubbish, and cleaning supplies. Check all drawers, cupboards, and storage areas are empty. Take photos of every room for your records before handing back the keys.

Why Professional Vacate Cleaning Pays for Itself
Many tenants attempt a DIY vacate clean to save money, only to fail their final inspection and lose hundreds from their bond. Property managers in Perth are thorough — they check inside ovens, behind toilets, window tracks, and exhaust fans. Missing even one area can trigger a re-clean at your expense or a direct deduction from your bond.
Professional vacate cleaners know exactly what Perth property managers look for because they do this every day. The cost of a professional clean is almost always less than the bond deductions you risk by doing it yourself. With CleanTech WA, every clean is documented with before-and-after photos — giving you evidence if any disputes arise.
