Just got quoted $52O for a bond clean. 2 bed apartment with 1 bath.
Place has carpet too.
Is this normal, seems high.
This is on the gold coast
How Much Should a Bond Clean Cost?

Not exactly - cleaning supplies will cost something.
Also, if the OPs quote includes carpet steam cleaning, but you ask the cleaner to skip that, which can save ~$100-$150.
Definitely should be less than 400, though probably paying a premium because it's the GC.
Nothing stopping you getting a couple of quotes.
You can get a few quotes to be sure of the market price, but I personally recommend using the real estate's recommended cleaner to save any fuss later.

The REA adds their fees on top of the cleaners bill.
2 people
4 hours each
$40/hr pp
=$320carpet clean $150
=$470
Seems reasonable if the two people are very efficient and have results to match.
When getting quotes don't say its for a bond clean out. Some will put a mark up on it. Just say you want a good clean.
bond clean quote often guarantees bond back else comeback re-clean at no cost
watch out for T&C though
$450
Dafuq is $52O?
$52 and an orange
Omani Rials?
Haha is what my brain wrong with
DIY for free might not be possible if it's through an agent/landlord that requires a carpet cleaning receipt or similar.
I paid $210 for a 2bdrm 2bath including carpet steam cleaning - found the company on serviceseeking.com.au
Definitely get a few more quotes
How does that work. They skipped something.
Was 2 people 3hrs total, so what $35 an hour per person?
Guess no extra charge for the carpet cleaning - only the bedrooms were carpeted though which probably makes a difference
Or lowballing to get their reviews up
I asked a colleague who recently moved and he advised to get at least 3 quotes and preferably go with personal recommendations as quality of end-of-lease cleaning varies so much.
Also suggested being specific as to what you need cleaned ie. oven, windows, inside cabinets/wardrobes, steam cleaning carpets, etc are usually completed at extra cost.
I recently vacated a 3 bedroom house in Victoria and paid about $400 for a full bond clean including carpet steam cleaning, pressure cleaning of windows and lawn mowing. Put a job up on hipages.com.au and see the responses.
Airtasker, then sift through the offers, check their experience and reviews, should definitely get offered less than $350.
$0 to do it yourself.
