How QuoteMate Helps Cleaners
See It in Action
“End of lease clean for 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house including oven, carpets, and windows”
A complete, itemised quote with materials, quantities, real-time supplier pricing, labour costs, GST, and a professional PDF — ready to send to your client. Typical cleaning quotes range from $150 – $5,000.
Quoting for a cleaning job isn't just about your hourly rate. It's about pricing the scope correctly, especially for high-stakes work like end-of-lease or builder's cleans. Underestimate the time for a greasy oven, miss the cost of specialised chemicals, or forget travel time, and your profit is gone. Handwritten quotes look unprofessional and lead to disputes. This guide is for Australian cleaners who want to send sharp, accurate quotes that win better work and protect their margins on every job.
How to Price an End-of-Lease Clean for Bond Return
Quote end-of-lease cleans room by room, plus specific add-ons. A single flat fee is a gamble against a picky property manager's checklist. Your quote needs separate line items for the oven, rangehood filters, window tracks, skirting boards, and spot cleaning walls. A standard 2-bedroom unit can take 8-12 hours if it's been neglected. Using a template ensures nothing is missed and the client knows exactly what they're paying for. A fair price for a standard 2-bed, 1-bath apartment clean in Sydney, including carpets, will be between $450 and $700.
The Difference Between Quoting a Builder's Clean and a Domestic Clean
A builder's clean is not a standard domestic job. You're removing plaster dust, paint flecks on glass, and silicone residue, not just wiping surfaces. Price it per square metre plus specific tasks, never by the hour. You'll need heavy-duty equipment and stronger chemicals from a trade supplier like Abco or Cleaners Supermarket. QuoteMate lets you build custom templates for these jobs. For a final builder's clean on a new build, a good starting point is pricing around $5 to $8 per square metre, depending on the level of detail required by the builder.
Consumables and Overheads Most Cleaners Forget
The cost of your consumables eats your profit if you don't account for it. Microfibre cloths, specialised chemicals for stone benches, and even the depreciation on your Pacvac vacuum all need to be factored in. If your phone rings while you're trying to finish a job, you risk losing the next one. An AI receptionist like https://callkatie.ai can qualify new leads so you can focus on the work. Don't forget that a single 5-litre bottle of quality neutral floor cleaner from Bunnings Trade can cost over $30.
Manage Every Cleaner Job From Inquiry to Paid
Quoting is only half the work. QuoteMate tracks every cleaning job through a 9-stage pipeline — inquiry, quoted, accepted, scheduled, in progress, completed, paid, closed, or cancelled — with timestamps stamped automatically so you can see where every dollar is sitting and where the bottleneck is. Schedule jobs in two taps with Google Calendar sync, snap and annotate on-site photos against the job (not lost in your camera roll), keep a brain-dump checklist of materials and to-dos for the day, and chase quotes automatically if a customer goes quiet.
