The goal of Emerald Bond Cleaning Service is to ensure that the clean performed by our professionals meets the standards of Residential Tenancies and Rooming Act 2008 so that the client can have their Bond released by the Managing Agent and the RTA.
*Our Bond Cleaning Guarantee only applies to the areas you have chosen to be cleaned by our professionals as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.*
*Furnished properties will incur additional costs as more time will be required to clean the property.*
* If the property is furnished, we take no liability or responsibility for any cupboard items that may be damaged/broken in the process.*
*If you require cleaning behind heavy items that weigh more than 5kg eg. fridge, washing machine etc. then those items must be moved aside by the client prior to the commencement of the clean as outlined in our Terms and Conditions. *
*Please note that only Standard Blinds are included in the price of a Bond Clean. Venetian blinds, Roller blinds or Material blinds will be an extra charge based on the number of blinds in the property.*
