Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions constitute the full and complete service agreement between you (The Customer) and the service provider (Exit Cleans) for the provision of services. Please take some time to review this agreement as the use of our services constitutes your acceptance of these terms and conditions. Our terms and conditions may change from time to time so we recommend that you check below to make sure you are aware and accepting of these T&C’s before you engage our services.

1. Bond Back Guarantee

Our ‘Bond Back Guarantee’ is valid for 7 days after completion of our services only. It provides you with a free re-clean of your property if it hasn’t been cleaned to the expectations of your landlord/agent, it does not mean it guarantees you a refund should your agent not be happy with some aspects of the clean. As we are time based we do as much of our checklist as we can within the time allocated. There is no guarantee for a property if it is still lived in even if the person is staying in the garage or one room.
Before rectifications commence the customer is required to provide the job sheet containing the clear list of works to complete. This document must be issued by the Real Estate or Landlord. Our scope of works does not cover dust settlement that occurs normally between time of service and re-inspection. Note that accumulation of dust over time is considered normal and activities such as ‘open homes’ are likely to speed up this process.
We suggest to our clients that a booking for our bond / move-out / exit cleaning service occur either one or two days prior to the lease expiring. This is so the agent can conduct their exit condition report and if any cleaning issues are identified; we can be advised in the above stated time and have it rectified.

2. Service Quotes

All quotes are based on the information provided to us by the customer. All quotes are a fixed price fee based on the information provided and our checklist located on the homepage of this website. The basis of this fixed price is ‘a property left in a reasonable state of cleanliness’. The only time a price may change with the approval of the customer would be for the following reasons: state of property not as expected; customer’s original requirement is altered; variations to the condition or size. Any of these reasons constitutes the booking to be altered by mechanisms of: re-scheduling, cancellation, or an increase in price at the discretion of Exit Cleans and with the customers agreement. If Exit Cleans and the customer do not agree Exit Cleans is able to cancel the service and refund the customer minus our cancellation fee of 90% of the service price.

3. Vacant Possession

When conducting a move-out or bond type clean; we need the property to be completely vacant at the time of our cleaning service. Part furniture (with the exception of a furnished property) remaining in a property won’t allow us to properly clean in and around such items. Moving of furniture from a property during the cleaning process may prolong the cleaning process if our teams are required to work around such.

4. Additions and Amendments

Any changes to the service must be agreed by Exit Cleans prior to the service time. If the customer requires any additional services or variations at the time the service is being performed, the customer must first contact Exit Cleans by email, who may agree to provide the additional services in its absolute discretion. The service provider is not authorised to agree to any changes to the service being provided. The customer must not request such changes directly from the service provider.

5. Bond Cleaning

Bond cleaning excludes the following items which may be conducted for an agreed ‘extra’ cost:
• Full washing or wiping of blinds or curtains
• Outside glass
• Carpet cleaning
• Pest control
• Full wall washing (we spot clean for ten minutes only as per our checklist)
• Garage Cleaning
• Stained grout/mould removal
• Stain removal of any kind including kitchens, bathrooms, carpet etc

Services will be performed by 2 or 3 separate contractors especially where carpet cleaning and pest control are included. Occasionally one contractor will do all three.

Our cleaning services run day and night so if you are unable to meet the teams you make sure a key is accessible. We do not advise a start time, if keys can not be left we will text you an hour before their arrival.

6. Bond Cleaning (Fully Furnished)

For bond cleaning of fully furnished properties, wiping of furniture and appliances (e.g. coffee table, microwave, fridge etc) is included. The service excludes cleaning of kitchenware (e.g. cutlery) and linens (e.g. bed sheets).

8. Carpet Cleaning

Our standard steam carpet cleaning will remove dirt, grime and dust from every day foot traffic and most clear liquid spills. Extra charges may apply to heavily soiled carpets. Our best effort will be made to clean the carpets, but the result will vary from carpet to carpet, and the result will be dependent on a number of factors beyond the control of Exit Cleans and that we give no guarantee as to the actual result of the service. Please note that any wear or discolouring of fabric or surfaces becoming more visible once dirt has been removed. Some stains that are deemed permanent may not respond satisfactorily to any treatment. For this reason, we do not guarantee removal of permanent stains.

9. Contractors

Exit Cleans uses external cleaning companies sourced from various avenues and recruitment procedures. They are not directly employed by Exit Cleans and all have their own ABNs and run their own small businesses.
