Bond Clean Expert
Verified894 reviews
AI reviews summary
The reviews for Bond Clean Expert reveal a deeply polarised customer experience, characterised by either high satisfaction with cleaning results or severe allegations of predatory business practices. While many users report immaculate results and successful bond returns, a significant volume of recent feedback flags a recurring pattern of "bait and switch" pricing, where initial quotes are doubled on-site under threat of cancellation.
Pros
Cons
Verdict
The feedback suggests a high-risk service environment; while the physical cleaning can be excellent, it is frequently overshadowed by aggressive upselling and unethical billing practices. Consumers should be extremely cautious of the "fixed quote" and consider the high likelihood of being pressured for additional payments on the day of the move.
Halfway through the bond cleaning day I received a phone call that there was extra cleaning that needed to be done and added on an extra 50% to the quote. There was no mention that this could happen when I booked the clean. They also refused to clean outside
I booked a bond clean with Bond Clean Expert for 30/07 (Job No. 32842), and Charmin Patel was assigned to the job. He did an outstanding job from start to finish. The property owner attended the final inspection and only raised a few very minor items. Charmin addressed them promptly and professionally, and the property was cleared on the same day.… Read more
Excellent attention to detail, professional service, and great communication throughout the process. I highly recommend Bond Clean Expert, and especially Charmin Patel, to anyone looking for a reliable bond cleaning service.
Their initial service was ok. But they rushed and left dust, no spot cleaning of walls. Their promise to follow up with a second clean per agents instructions, which is in their contract, was not followed up. And they only send emails assuring the team this week be done and that "they're committed to excellence". Very disappointed! Happy to increase star rating if the follow up

I wish I had read the reviews before hiring this scam of a company. It’s been a full year since they “bond cleaned”, but the photos popped up in my memories and I was curious what their reviews were like after being so disappointed and absolutely fleeced. Colour me shocked there isn’t a google business page. It truly was the most expensive bond… Read more
clean I’ve ever had the displeasure of paying for. Quoted $849, ended up paying a total of $969.
It shocks and saddens me that almost every review mentions demands for extra money AFTER quoting and full payment had been made and cleaning had already started. This solidified my suspicion that we had been scammed. We received a call saying there was excessive cat fur and a demand for $120 or they would not continue the cleaning. Considering the prep clean I did, I knew there wasn’t excessive cat fur, but I was half asleep and couldn’t be bothered to argue as I had already paid them. I was concerned they would refuse to give me back my money if I said no.
I wish I did refuse as they clearly use money paid as leverage to bleed more out of you. Most people don’t have a spare $800 to hire someone else last minute knowing what they’ve already paid will be tied up for potentially months, which I would wager is these scammers exact thoughts. I will certainly be contacting the ACCC after reading these reviews and realising I was severely duped.
On top of this scam they apparently perform consistently, the clean was subpar at best. After checking the clean the day of, realising they were already gone before 1pm despite all the extra cleaning they claimed to do because of the cat fur, I then had to bring my own cleaning supplies back the next day to fix the job they got paid handsomely to do.
Window sills and skirting boards were untouched, door handles had a weird film on them, and the front door panels weren’t cleaned, the hot plate hadn’t been cleaned properly or wiped where it meets the countertop. I cleaned the hot plate with good old oven cleaner, which came up perfectly in under two minutes. You’d think professional cleaners would know these things. Basic expectation of bond cleaning completely unmet. They had tried to extort more money for extra wall cleaning too, which I refused as I had already sugar soap scrubbed every wall.
If that wasn’t enough, there were a few personal items my partner forgot to grab from our wardrobe. They were gone, obviously. Every other bond cleaner I’ve had has put any personal items found in the house in a pile in the garage & texted me to let me know. I questioned whether our belongings were put somewhere, thrown out, or taken. We got no response.
Photos of lack of cleaning were taken on 12th Oct 2024, the clean was performed on the 11th Oct 2024.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I strongly recommend Bond Clean Expert — they are excellent deep oven cleaners and did a great job with our bond clean. Very professional, thorough, and reliable service!
We were recommended to Bond Clean Expert by our property seller’s agent at Coastal on the Gold Coast. They arrived on time to provide a quote and were professional and courteous throughout the process. The team completed a deep clean of our large 5-bedroom property. The results were excellent — the house was left spotless and met all standards.… Read more
We were very happy with the outcome and appreciated the smooth, reliable service.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality bond clean on the Gold Coast.
Omg, they arrived promptly and completed my pest control at my property. After about a month, I noticed some ants in my backyard, so I called them for assistance. They quickly returned and re-completed the job without any hassle. In my opinion, they are very friendly and approachable people, making the whole experience much more pleasant.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY…hired them to do a bond clean which was done yesterday 13/7/26. Charged $1129, called mid morning and wanted to charge another $450 to do the blinds which were supposed to be done in the original quote! Told them no that it was in the quote! when we walked in today all blinds were put up, when I rolled them down, not one of… Read more
the 10 lots of blinds had been cleaned, not one skirting board wiped down, all walls were not spot cleaned and the best one ! Carpets were not cleaned. Had to spend another $250 on a carpet cleaner who did a great job and spend 5 hours cleaning what had not been done. Disgusting to think they can actually rip off people like this. Very p*ssed off to say the least

I was quite anxious about finding a bond cleaning company that could accommodate a next-day booking, but Bond Clean Expert made the process easy. The team was friendly and professional, and Dhruv contacted me the day before to confirm the appointment. On the day, they arrived early and did a fantastic, thorough bond clean. The landlord was… Read more
extremely satisfied with the result. Excellent service from start to finish—definitely deserving of 5 stars. Thank you!
If I could give a no star rating I would. DO NOT USE THESE CLEANERS!!! I'm a landlord and upon the tenants vacating they engaged their services for a bond clean charging them $1500.00 (rip off). For that price you'd expect that the house would sparkle. However, the state the house was left in I would never be able to re-rent in that condition.… Read more
They must be blind as they didn't even clean the most obvious of things, eg. light switches were left filthy, kitchen splash back had grease dripping which was not cleaned as was the rangehood and pantry door. Windows, verticals and screens were untouched. I contacted the tenants to let them know that the cleaners had done a horrendous job of cleaning the house. They requested photos and an email outlining what was missed which I did. Apparently they have a 7 day guarantee period. I believe they requested extra money but I don't know if this was paid by the tenant. Well they did come back but didn't make any difference to the cleanliness of the house. There was still marks on the doors, the windows weren't touched, light switches were again overlooked. The photo below is just an example of the way they clean. There is no attention to detail. It's not just the vacuuming and moping. I told the tenants that they had been ripped off by these cleaners and to never use them again.

DO NOT USE BOND CLEAN EXPERT. We paid for a bond clean, complained about the quality, gave the company a second chance with a reclean, and still ended up having to clean the property ourselves and hire professional cleaners to finish the job. Carpets weren’t cleaned, grime was left throughout bathrooms, windows were smeared, skirting boards and… Read more
light switches were untouched, the oven still had residue, and dirt remained in places that should have been obvious to any cleaner.
The fact that we needed a reclean was disappointing. The fact that the reclean still failed to address all of the issues was unacceptable.
In the end, we paid for a bond clean and received a rushed surface clean that required another 10 hours of professional cleaning to rectify.
Without question the worst cleaning service we have ever used.

I have been recommended Sam by my property manager from Coastal Property Management on the Gold Coast. They are great detailers for bond cleaning work. They cleaned my large apartment to a very high standard, and I am very satisfied with the result.
Exceptional cleaning service! My 1-bedroom furnished studio was left in immaculate condition. The bathroom and living area were spotless, and the carpet steam cleaning was top-notch—no stains, no odors, just fresh and clean. The team went above and beyond to ensure everything was inspection-ready. Highly recommended for anyone needing a stress-free bond clean!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Pretty much a copy paste experience of the other reviews of this company unfortunately, I wish I had seen these reviews before booking them. I booked for a 2 bed, 2 bath new apartment Bond clean, I advised I didn't need carpets or floors cleaning. Paid $500 up front. The cleaner turned up 20 minutes late to the… Read more
appointment.
Unfortunately my move out date got pushed back so I couldn't get everything out of the apartment but everything was packed up in boxes, bags in middle of living area with a 1M space around it at least to access windows/walls/skirting.
After a few hours at the property I received a call saying that they needed me to pay an extra $200, they quote the reason being they needed to clean the dishwasher, microwave, there were more windows than expected (new apartment with floor to ceiling windows) and there was pet fur. I told them that they don't need to clean the windows are they are clean and I'll clean the dishwasher & Microwave. They then said it is then considered a partial clean and there is no guarantee on bond return without payment. I said they can surely guarantee the areas they are cleaning wont come back with comments and they said no, there is no guarantee unless I pay additional.
I told them no. I came home that afternoon to find that they had started cleaning the windows, but stopped half way leaving really visible streaks of cleaning solution across them, streaks across the oven door, streaks across the cook top & grease present in the range hood. Bathroom grouting was still dirty, Laundry wasn't mopped at all. I emailed them and said these are the areas they were supposed to clean and the windows which weren't dirty before are now. They did come back the next day to "rectify" the issues, the streaks were gone (just) but the grout was still dirty.
Inspection came and went, they found dirt in draws, along sliding draw runners, the grouting as previously mentioned, more grease in the oven, dirt/dust and a little bit of pet fluff in the oven vent, Bins not cleaned around them, marks & dirt on walls, skirtings not cleaned.
Company response is simple that the bond wasn't guaranteed and they wouldn't be back to fix. Paid the estate agents recommended cleaners to come back and fix their work for another $380. Should have gone with them in the first place.
The previous year I did a bond clean myself in 8 hours of a similar unit (inclusive of windows and balcony) I did a better job in 1 day than these guys. I did this because I had to work and wanted assurance things wouldn't be missed but these guys don't know what they are doing.
This business is a scam and rely on you being too busy and stressed to question them or their quality.
Highly impressed with the quality of work! Daniel and his team carried out a complete end-of-lease clean along with carpet steam cleaning for three rooms and the hallway. They also did a detailed flea and tick treatment as required. Everything was done to a very high standard—the house looked immaculate, and the carpets were refreshed and deodorized beautifully. Very punctual, professional, and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience! The team handled a complete end-of-lease clean for my property, including detailed flea and tick pest control and carpet shampooing for two rooms. The attention to detail was impressive—nothing was missed. The carpets looked refreshed and felt like new after the deodorizing treatment. The whole house was left in perfect condition. Very professional, punctual, and easy to deal with. Definitely a 5-star service!
absolutely disgusting. Required an extra $230 for blinds. $1200 in total for a home that was rented for 1 year. Asked for these to be left and this was unaccounted by them as it would not be a full bond clean. When asked to stop and leave and to find someone else was told that the $800 already paid was seized and would not be returned. Had no choice but to pay the extra. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. George

Absolute rip offs. One star! They deserve negative stats.Turned up to house extremely rude. Demanded full money prior to clean to start, had already paid 100 security to start. Then 20 mins later called demanding a further 1,300 or they would… Read more
leave. Left after 4 hrs barely did anything. Then lied said they were there all day and also following day, which they never turned up. Also broke curtains rods dents in walls, left cigarettes butts on the floor. Left the place in a worse condition due to their damage. Rude and dismissive when trying to communicate. Please dont use them BIG SCAMMERS. Then they ignore you. DISGUSTING!
Follow-up · Total disaster , couldnt even have decency to answer calls and messages. Rude and dodgy company... they will destroy property and not do the job plus steal!
Never, Never, Never use Bond Cleaning Experts in Toowoomba. Sent a list of what needed to be done. Quoted a price. Day before cleaning extorted payment before arriving. 3 people arrived took photos and then left. Manager called and stated we… Read more
needed to pay another $350 otherwise they would complete the cleaning. Over a barrel and paid the extra money. 3 people arrived and were there for 2 hours. Nothing they quoted was completed. Real estate refused to accept clean. Refused to return and complete the work. $1150.00 down the grain. Scammers have complained to consumer affairs.
Follow-up · There was no refund offered. They quoted $750.00 and then asked for a further $500.00. We had to have the clean finished by the next day so we paid. The carpet, the cupboards in bedrooms and kitchen. Skirting boards and windows were not cleaned. We reported them to Consumer affairs but nothing was ever reported back to us.
BEWARE: Predatory price gouging on-site. They initially gave me a fixed quote of $499. However, on the day of the move, they held the job hostage and refused to start unless I paid an extra $300 on the spot, threatening to leave my property dirty… Read more
and refuse a refund. I was forced to pay under extreme duress due to end-of-lease time pressure. Today, they even sent a backdated invoice to cover it up and pressured me to delete my review. The cleaning itself was done, but their business practice is pure extortion. I have lodged a formal complaint with the QLD Office of Fair Trading.
Follow-up · •Quote was $499 •They said it’s dirty that’s why extra cost taken • Show up time was on time Eventually bond clean was not passed so just waste of money

Positive reviews
Fantastic service and great value for money. The cleaners went above and beyond to ensure every room was perfectly clean. The carpets were professionally shampooed and deodorized, giving them a fresh new look. Everything passed the final inspection without any concerns. I would definitely use them again.
I’ve used BCE twice now. Great communication, They don’t do anything without asking first, they show up on time, provide a great service and both times I’ve received glowing reviews from my real estate. I’ve got you guys on speed dial and will always recommend you!
I had a great experience with this bond cleaning team. They were professional, reliable, and paid excellent attention to detail. The property was cleaned to a high standard, including all rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, windows, floors and garage. I highly recommend Pooja and her team to anyone looking for a quality bond clean. Excellent service, great communication throughout. Thank you!

Do not hire !!!! On the day of the clean I was called and told that I had to pay $340 extra for bathroom, washing machine and dryer deep cleans, I was pushed to say yes by the salesperson telling me they would leave without doing any clean if I didn’t pay. To my surprise, when we checked the clean afterwards they had not cleaned any bathrooms or… Read more
the machines. I tried calling and emailing them to ask for my money back for that extra and all I am being told is to let the real estate inspect it and then they’ll clean it. Awful service and rude salesperson.
If I could give a zero I would! Be carefull - they will provide a quote and once onsite will demand extra money or stop the job. Quoted $1200 and at the end, they requested an additional $400. The indian guy arrived alone at the house at 10am. By 4pm he went "on lunch" but returned with 2 helpers. Long story short- never washed the carperts, did… Read more
a half-#rse job cleaning the house. We had to go back and finish cleaning the house and wash the carpets ourselves. Dealing with them on the phone is a nighmare. It is like you talking to someone in Mumbai. Hard to understand. I just hope people read this before using these people.
Pure scammers. Gave a quote and asked for an additional $1200 since the property were "very dirty". Cancelled the job and they asked for a $200 fee - refunded what's left of the money over a week. Wish I had read the reviews first.
