Carpet Cleaning Bond-Back Guarantees Perth — Explained

If you're moving out of a Perth rental, professional carpet cleaning is often required in your lease — and many cleaners offer a bond-back guarantee. Here's what that guarantee really means.

Why Carpets Get Scrutinised

Carpets are one of the most common bond-deduction battlegrounds. Most WA leases require carpets to be professionally steam cleaned at the end of a tenancy, and agents often want a receipt as proof.

What the Guarantee Covers

• A free re-clean if the agent isn't satisfied with the result
• A receipt or invoice you can hand to your property manager
• Treatment of common traffic stains — though permanent stains may be excluded

Steam vs Dry Cleaning

Most Perth agents specifically ask for steam (hot water extraction) cleaning. If your lease specifies a method, make sure the cleaner uses it, or the guarantee may not satisfy your agent.

Keep the Paperwork

Always get a dated receipt that names the property. Combined with photos, it's your evidence if a carpet deduction is disputed through the Bond Administrator.
