Cairns City is apartments more than houses. Towers along the Esplanade, older walk-up blocks through the CBD grid, and a rental share higher than anywhere else in the region. Floor areas are small, but the exit inspection covers exactly the same list as a four-bedroom house, and the building itself often creates more complications than the clean does. We quote bond cleaning free and on site anywhere in the city, with a fixed price and our bond back guarantee.

Security fobs, lift bookings, designated loading zones, set contractor hours and no street parking are all normal in CBD buildings, and any one of them can cost an hour if it is discovered on the morning rather than at quote. Tell us the building when we come out and we plan the day around it. This is the single most common reason a city clean runs late, and it is entirely avoidable.
A studio or one-bedroom still needs the oven, rangehood filters, window tracks, ceiling fans, grout, silicone and every cupboard inside and on top. Tenants often assume a small apartment is a quick wipe-through and are surprised by what the exit report lists. The floor area shrinks; the checklist does not.
City apartments get shut up with the air conditioning off far more often than houses do, and through the wet season that is exactly the condition mould wants. It appears on ceilings, in wardrobes, on bathroom silicone and along the top of skirtings. Humidity marks on walls are one of the most common things flagged in CBD exit reports, and they need treating rather than painting over.
Esplanade-facing units collect a mix of salt and city grime on glass and balustrades, and the balcony forms part of the property at inspection. Compact laundries tucked behind bifold doors are easy to skip, and dryer lint filters almost always get checked.
The CBD has the highest concentration of renters in the region and the shortest average tenancies, so turnover is constant rather than seasonal and agents here run exit inspections week in, week out. With vacancy under one per cent, city apartments are re-let almost immediately and inspections follow within days of handover.
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 Cairns City, Cairns North, Parramatta Park, Bungalow, Portsmith, Westcourt and Edge Hill, and the rest of Cairns from the northern beaches through to Gordonvale. No travel fees anywhere in the Cairns postcodes.
Yes, including the high-rise towers. Let us know the building at quote so we can sort fobs, lift bookings, loading access and contractor hours in advance rather than on the day.
Usually, yes. Surface mould and humidity marks on walls, ceilings, wardrobes and bathroom silicone are part of a standard exit clean. Where mould has grown into perished silicone or damaged the paint underneath, that becomes a repair rather than a cleaning matter and we will tell you straight if that is what we are looking at.
Less than a house, but the inspection list is identical. Price depends on bedrooms, bathrooms, whether there are carpets and the condition. We quote on site so you get a fixed number rather than an estimate over the phone.
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.
