Serving Maroubra Beach, South Maroubra, and the entire 2035 postcode.
In 2026, Maroubra remains one of Sydney's most sought-after coastal hubs. With vacancy rates hovering near record lows, property managers are more meticulous than ever. According to NSW Fair Trading, a tenant must return the property in the same condition as the start of the lease, "fair wear and tear excepted."
However, "reasonably clean" by a tenant's standards often differs from a professional property manager's checklist. A DIY clean might miss the dust atop ceiling fans or the grease behind the oven—small details that can lead to significant bond deductions.
| Median House Rent: | $1,329/pw |
| Median Unit Rent: | $843/pw |
| Average Bond: | $3,300 - $5,300 |
With bonds often exceeding $4,000, investing in a professional clean (averaging $350–$600) is a smart financial move to protect your deposit.

Under NSW Fair Trading 2026 guidelines, if you have pets, professional steam cleaning is usually a lease requirement. We use Hot Water Extraction to lift sand and salt—common in Maroubra homes—that standard vacuums miss.
Essential for pet owners. We provide a combined cleaning and fumigation certificate to satisfy the "Flea Treatment" clause in your tenancy agreement.
Coastal living means salt spray on glass. We offer specialized external window cleaning to ensure your ocean views are streak-free for the next tenant.
Don't get scammed by "cheap" flyers. Look for these 4 markers of quality:

No. 90% of our Maroubra clients prefer a contactless service. We can arrange key pick-up and drop-off with your local real estate agent at no extra charge.
Our guarantee is valid for 72 hours after completion. If your property manager identifies any issues on their final walkthrough, we return to rectify them for free.
While the scheme makes moving easier, you are still liable for any cleaning costs from your previous home. A professional clean ensures your "portable" bond transitions to your next Maroubra home without deductions.
