Smithfield is built around James Cook University and the shopping centre, and a large share of its rental stock is share housing for students and staff. That gives the suburb a tenancy calendar of its own: turnover clusters around semester dates rather than the usual end-of-month cycle, and a lot of properties are handed back by several people at once. We quote bond cleaning free and on site anywhere in Smithfield, with a fixed price and our bond back guarantee.

A four-bedroom share house sees far more traffic through the kitchen and bathrooms than a family of four would generate. Every bedroom is cleaned to the same standard regardless of who occupied it, and the shared spaces usually need the most work. Where housemates are splitting the cost, we can quote the whole property up front so everyone knows their share before the day.
November through December and again in February are the busiest windows here, because a large part of the suburb moves at the same time. That is very different to the rest of Cairns, where leases end more evenly across the year. If your vacate date lands in one of those windows, book early.
Much of Smithfield is modern brick and tile: tiled living areas, carpeted bedrooms, dishwashers, built-in microwaves and split systems in most rooms. The surfaces themselves are easier than older stock, but there is more equipment to clean and more filters to pull.
The western side of the suburb sits against the range, which brings the usual tropical company. Geckos leave marks on walls and ceilings, insect screens fill with debris, and cobwebs return quickly under eaves and in carports. All of it gets noticed at inspection.
Because Smithfield turnover clusters around semester dates rather than spreading through the year, the pinch points here are sharper than elsewhere in Cairns. Add a rental vacancy rate that has been under one per cent for months and properties are re-let almost immediately, with inspections following close behind.
The practical takeaway: book as far ahead as you can. As soon as you know your vacate date, get the clean in the diary. Weeks ahead is ideal rather than days, because most leases end around the same points in the month and those dates get claimed early.
The clean is done to the Queensland exit condition standard set out in the RTA condition reports, so the property matches how it was handed over at the start of the tenancy, fair wear and tear aside. Kitchen including oven, rangehood and filters, cooktop, splashback and inside all cupboards. Bathrooms and toilets including grout, silicone, shower screens, exhaust fans and mirrors. All floors vacuumed and mopped. Walls spot-cleaned. Skirtings, architraves, doors, frames and switches. Ceiling fans and light fittings. Window tracks, sills and screens inside and out where reachable. Wardrobes and cupboards inside and on top. Laundry including behind and under where accessible.
Carpet steam cleaning is available in the same visit with a receipt for your agent. Not sure what your lease covers? Our Queensland bond clean checklist walks through it room by room.
We cover Smithfield, Trinity Park, Trinity Beach, Kewarra Beach, Caravonica, Freshwater and Redlynch, and the rest of Cairns from the northern beaches through to the southern corridor. No travel fees anywhere in the Cairns postcodes.
We quote the property as a whole and give you one fixed price, which makes it straightforward to divide between housemates. One person needs to be the contact for access and for anything the agent raises afterwards.
Yes, but those weeks book out first. November to December and February are the busiest windows in Smithfield, so get your date in the diary as early as you can rather than waiting until the lease is nearly up.
It depends on the size of the property, the number of bathrooms, whether there are carpets and what condition it is in. Share houses often need more time in kitchens and bathrooms. We quote on site so the price reflects the actual property.
That is what our bond back guarantee is for. Tell us within 7 days of the clean and we come back and re-clean whatever was listed, free, for anything on the original scope.
