Top 3 Best End of Lease Cleaning Services in Brisbane (Tried and Tested)

Why We Tested End of Lease Cleaning Services Ourselves

So when our marketing team had a few lease handovers to deal with all at once, we decided to turn it into a bit of a project. We figured if we were going to spend money on professional end of lease cleaning anyway, we might as well make something useful out of it.

We tried out a few of Brisbane’s most talked-about services, not because we’re gluttons for punishment, but because we wanted to share honest feedback with people like you who are tired of dodgy jobs and disappearing cleaners. And now that the dust (and stress) has settled, we’ve narrowed it down to our top three. These are the ones that showed up, did the job properly, and didn’t leave us with a passive-aggressive text from the real estate agent.

Let’s dive into who made the cut.

Optima Cleaners – Our Top Pick for End of Lease Cleaning in Brisbane

When we booked Optima Cleaners, we had a good feeling. Their online booking form was simple to use, and someone actually picked up the phone when we called with a quick question. That’s not something we take for granted anymore. From start to finish, the whole experience felt like it was designed to be easy.

What really stood out was the way they tackled the job without needing constant supervision. The team arrived on time, fully equipped, and with the sort of quiet confidence that makes you want to get out of their way and let them do their thing. No fuss, no flapping about, just a very methodical and thorough clean. You could tell they’d done this a hundred times before.

One of our team members was particularly anxious about the oven – years of baked-on dinners and the occasional burnt pizza had left it in rough shape. But after Optima had their go at it, it looked like it had just come off the shelf at Harvey Norman. Not perfect, but a massive difference.

They were also good about the little details – things like light switches, door handles, and those weird marks that end up behind the couch. It felt like they actually cared about how the place would be handed back, not just ticking off a checklist.

The price was fair considering the quality, and they even followed up to check everything went smoothly with the agent. It’s that kind of aftercare that helped them land the top spot for us. If you’re someone who just wants it done right the first time, without the drama, Optima’s a strong bet.

Ace Bond Cleaning – Best for North Brisbane Properties

Ace Bond Cleaning came highly recommended by a mate in North Brisbane who swore by their service. We gave them a go for one of our team’s townhouse cleanouts and found them to be solid and reliable from start to finish.

Booking was easy enough, although we did have to wait a day or two for availability, which isn’t uncommon. The team showed up with all their gear, got straight to work, and were pleasant to deal with. No small talk, but no attitude either – just a professional team who clearly knew what was needed.

What we liked about Ace was their straightforward pricing and the way they didn’t try to upsell us on extras we didn’t need. We asked for a full end of lease clean including carpets and windows, and that’s exactly what they delivered. The place looked fresh and well looked after, and the agent didn’t have a single complaint.

They seem to cover a decent chunk of the north side, which is handy if you’re in areas like Chermside, North Lakes or Strathpine. For anyone needing a reliable clean without paying top dollar, Ace is a good option to keep in mind.

They do have a bond return guarantee, and while we didn’t need to test it out (because the job was spot-on), it was comforting to know it was there. If you’re based north of the river and need someone who’ll just get the job done with minimal faff, these guys are worth calling.

Deep Bond Cleaning – Reliable All-Rounder Across Brisbane

Deep Bond Cleaning came in as our third trial, and they held their own quite well. We used them for a unit in inner Brisbane that had seen a fair bit of wear and tear. It wasn’t a disaster zone by any stretch, but it needed a proper scrub from top to bottom, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.

From the moment we got in touch, communication was smooth. They were upfront about pricing, flexible with dates, and sent out a team that looked like they’d been doing this sort of thing for years. No uniforms or branded vans, but they knew what they were doing and worked fast.

The thing we appreciated most was their willingness to listen. We mentioned a couple of areas that needed extra care – the shower grout and a stained bit of carpet under the coffee table – and they didn’t brush it off. Both got cleaned better than expected, and we didn’t have to chase them up afterwards.

Deep Bond Cleaning is probably the most no-frills of the bunch, but that’s not a knock. They’re the type of team you can trust to do what they promise without much back and forth. If you’re not bothered about branding or bells and whistles and just want a clean home ready for handover, this lot can absolutely deliver.

They also offer other services like commercial cleaning, so if you’re managing a few properties or juggling lease transitions for others, it could be worth chatting to them for bundled work.

So, Who’s the Right Choice?

After trying them all, we’re happy to recommend each of these services for different reasons. Optima Cleaners really did knock it out of the park in terms of professionalism, care and follow-up. If you want the best shot at getting your full bond back and can spare a few extra dollars for peace of mind, they’re our go-to.

Ace Bond Cleaning is a great pick for folks on the north side of town who want reliable service and value for money. They’re efficient, consistent, and won’t give you any grief.

Deep Bond Cleaning is a solid all-rounder for those who just want the job done right without a lot of fuss. They’re down to earth, affordable, and do what they say they will.

No matter which one you choose, we’d suggest booking ahead of time if you can. The end of month rush hits hard in Brisbane, and the good teams book out quickly. And if your lease is wrapping up soon, start sorting your clean sooner rather than later – your future self will thank you for it.

If you’ve used one of these cleaners before or have another hidden gem in Brisbane, we’re always keen to hear about it. Just send us a message – we love giving credit where it’s due.
