[i] To clean walls for the purposes of a Vacate/Bond clean, we do spot clean only to remove marks – Additional charges may apply if walls are badly marked, or excessively stained as they may require extra cleaning time

[ii] Blind cleaning is not included in our standard Vacate/Bond cleaning service. Dirty or greasy blinds take a lot longer. In this case, bringing them to the standard required to pass a cleaning inspection will require a lot more work and thus additional charges may apply. If the blinds are badly soiled or there is a lot of mould present on the blinds they may need to be cleaned by professional blind company.
