Service Overview
Commercial vacate cleaning tied to the handover requirements
An office or commercial end-of-lease clean should begin with the lease, condition report and property manager’s instructions. Generic “bond clean” packages often blur cleaning with repairs, waste removal and make-good work. Those are separate obligations and can affect the final handover even when the premises have been cleaned well.
Green Commercial Cleaning scopes the cleaning tasks that can be delivered and records exclusions in writing. This page is for business premises rather than residential bond-cleaning enquiries.
What the commercial handover scope can cover
Depending on the tenancy, the checklist may include accessible walls and skirtings, doors and frames, kitchens, bathrooms, cupboards, fixtures, floors, internal glass and general surface dust. Carpet extraction, exterior or high glass, builders residue and specialist floor work can be added after assessment.
The proposal should also state whether frames, tracks, appliance interiors, high-level dust and waste removal are included. Clear detail helps the tenant, property manager and cleaner work from the same expectation.
Cleaning is different from make-good and repairs
Removing furniture, stock, signage, cabling, partitions or large waste is not automatically part of a cleaning service. Neither are patching, painting, damaged-floor restoration, pest treatment or rectifying an installation. If trades are still completing make-good work, the clean may need to be staged or followed by a final touch-up.
Existing damage and permanent staining should be noted before cleaning starts. This prevents a worn, etched or damaged surface from being misrepresented as a missed cleaning task.
Handover timing and building access
The main clean is best scheduled after the premises are empty and trade work is complete, but before utilities and access are disconnected. CBD and multi-tenant buildings may require lift bookings, loading times, contractor registration and key-return coordination.
Allowing time between cleaning and final handover gives the tenant a chance to inspect the accepted scope. A rushed clean ending at the exact key-return deadline leaves little room to resolve an access problem or a newly discovered task.
Commercial end-of-lease cleaning prices
Cost depends on floor area, room and amenity count, current condition, lease requirements, carpet, glazing, residue, access and the handover deadline. The example prices are indicative; the site quote records the actual checklist and any separately priced service.
No bond outcome is guaranteed because the cleaner does not control the lease, repairs or property-manager decision. For cost factors, see the commercial cleaning pricing guide. Related services include commercial carpet cleaning and commercial window cleaning.
