1. Definitions

In these Terms & Conditions:

  • "SparkleClean," "we," "us," "our" refers to SparkleClean Pty Ltd (ABN 82 624 861 749).
  • "Customer," "you," "your" refers to the individual or entity booking our services.
  • "Services" refers to all cleaning services provided by SparkleClean, including end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning, oven cleaning, window cleaning, and all related add-on services.
  • "Booking" refers to a confirmed reservation for our Services, including online and phone bookings.
  • "Cleaning Partner" refers to independent contractors or employed cleaners who perform Services on behalf of SparkleClean.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By making a Booking with SparkleClean, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

3. Services & Scope of Work

3.1 End of Lease Cleaning

Our end of lease cleaning covers all standard areas of a residential property as per industry checklist, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways, laundry, skirting boards, light switches, door handles, window sills (interior), and general vacuuming/mopping.

3.2 Inclusions & Exclusions

  • Oven deep cleaning and interior window cleaning are included by default unless deselected at booking.
  • Carpet steam cleaning, exterior window cleaning, blind cleaning, wall spot cleaning, balcony cleaning, and garage cleaning are optional add-ons.
  • Garage cleaning includes sweep and mop only — it is not a detailed clean. Garage cleaning can be upgraded to a pressure wash on site at additional cost, quoted by the Cleaning Partner on arrival.
  • Not included: Mould removal, pest control, exterior house washing, high-pressure cleaning, ceiling cleaning, removal of permanent stains or damage, and any work requiring specialised equipment.

3.3 Property Condition

We expect all properties to be in reasonable condition. Our pricing is based on properties in standard lived-in condition. If a property requires heavy-duty cleaning or additional effort beyond the standard scope:

  • We may quote for the additional effort before proceeding; or
  • That area may be cleaned on a best-efforts basis only, without any re-clean or Bond Back Guarantee applying to that area.

The Customer will be notified on arrival if the property condition differs from what was described. We may charge an additional fee, decline completion, or provide a revised on-site quote. The Customer must approve before extra work begins.

4. Bookings & Payments

4.1 Booking Confirmation

A Booking is confirmed upon successful payment of the 20% deposit. A booking reference and confirmation email will be sent.

4.2 Deposit & Balance

  • A 20% deposit secures your appointment.
  • The remaining 80% balance is due on the day of the clean, payable to the Cleaning Partner upon arrival via cash or bank transfer. Balance may also be paid online via your booking portal.
  • Failure to pay the balance may result in the clean not proceeding, and the deposit will be forfeited.

4.3 Pricing

Prices are estimates based on information provided (postcode, bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, add-ons). Final pricing may vary if the property differs. All prices are AUD and include GST.

4.4 New Customer Discount

A 20% discount may apply to first-time customers. It applies to the first booking only and cannot be combined with other offers.

5. Access & Property

5.1 Property Access

The Customer must ensure the property is accessible at the confirmed date and time. If our Cleaning Partner cannot access within 30 minutes due to reasons within the Customer's control, the booking is treated as a same-day cancellation and the deposit is forfeited.

5.2 Utilities

The property must have running water and electricity on the day. If unavailable and the clean cannot proceed, it is treated as a same-day cancellation.

5.3 Personal Belongings & Pets

The property should be vacated before our arrival. Pets must be secured or removed. SparkleClean is not liable for injury to pets or damage caused by pets.

6. Bond Back Guarantee

6.1 Scope

If your property manager identifies cleaning issues within 72 hours of service completion, we will return and re-clean specified areas at no additional cost, subject to conditions below.

6.2 Conditions

  • Notify SparkleClean within 72 hours with written details (email) and the property manager's inspection report.
  • Re-clean must be scheduled within 7 days of the original service.
  • The property must not have been occupied, used, or altered since our original clean.
  • The original booking must have been paid in full.
  • Covers standard checklist items only — not pre-existing damage, wear and tear, mould, pests, excluded items, or areas cleaned on a best-efforts basis due to heavy-duty or excessive property condition.

6.3 Limitations

The Bond Back Guarantee does not guarantee bond return. Bond disputes are between the Customer and landlord/agent. We guarantee our work quality to a professional standard.

7. Liability & Insurance

SparkleClean carries public liability insurance. Accidental damage must be reported in writing within 24 hours with photos. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage.

Loose fittings & poor condition: Any damage arising from loose fittings, poor condition, or pre-existing defects is the Customer's responsibility. Standard cleaning (spray, scrub, wipe) should not damage properly fitted items in good condition. SparkleClean is not liable for damage to items that were already loose, deteriorating, or in poor repair.

Our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific Booking. We are not liable for force majeure events (natural disasters, pandemics, government restrictions, severe weather).

8. Customer Responsibilities

The Customer agrees to: provide accurate booking information; ensure property is vacated and accessible; ensure utilities are available; disclose known hazards; pay the balance; treat Cleaning Partners with respect.

9. Cleaning Partner Conduct

Our Cleaning Partners reserve the right to leave immediately if they experience abuse, harassment, threatening behaviour, or unsafe conditions. In such cases, the deposit is forfeited and the balance remains payable.

10. Privacy

We collect and use personal information in accordance with Australian Privacy Principles. Information is used solely for providing Services, confirmations, and business operations. We do not sell or share your information except as required for service delivery or by law.

11. Intellectual Property

All website content is property of SparkleClean Pty Ltd and protected by Australian copyright law.

12. Dispute Resolution

Contact SparkleClean first to resolve disputes in good faith. If unresolved within 14 days, either party may refer to the relevant state/territory consumer affairs body. Governed by laws of the Australian Capital Territory.

13. Severability

If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

14. Cancellation & Refund Policy

This policy applies to all bookings Australia-wide. Plans change — here’s how cancellations and rescheduling work.

14.1 Cancellation Fees

Fees apply based on notice given relative to the scheduled cleaning date (business hours: Mon–Sat 7am–6pm AEST/AEDT).

⚠️ Access & No-Show

14.2 How to Cancel or Reschedule

  • Phone: 1800 714 110 — Mon–Sat 7am–6pm
  • Email: hello@sparkleclean.au — include your booking reference
  • Customer portal: Log in at My booking to reschedule online (when eligible)

Include your booking reference when contacting us. Requests outside business hours are processed the next business day — the timestamp determines the notice period.

14.3 Rescheduling

You may reschedule free of charge provided:

  • The booking is not within 72 hours — otherwise a late change fee applies. Self-service reschedule is available in your booking portal when the booking is more than 72 hours away.
  • The new date is within 72 hours to 30 days of your current booking date.
  • The rescheduled booking is for the same or equivalent services.

Each booking may be rescheduled a maximum of two times. Rescheduling within 72 hours of the booking is treated as a late change — contact us on 1800 714 110.

14.4 Cancellation by SparkleClean

In rare cases we may cancel due to severe weather, Cleaning Partner illness/emergency, government restrictions, or safety concerns. We will notify you, offer a rescheduled date, or provide a full deposit refund if rescheduling is not possible.

14.5 Refund Processing

Refunds go to the original payment method. Allow 5–10 business days. Amount = deposit minus applicable cancellation fees.

14.6 Partial Completion

Customer's fault (property not vacated, no utilities, unsafe conditions): Full price payable. SparkleClean's fault: We will reschedule at no extra cost or provide a pro-rata refund.

14.7 Balance Payment Disputes

Outstanding balances may incur a $50 administrative fee after 7 days. The Customer may be ineligible for future bookings until settled. Bond Back Guarantee is void with outstanding balance.

🛡️ Our Commitment

We stand behind the quality of our work. If something isn't right, contact us and we'll make it right. Your satisfaction and a smooth end-of-lease experience are our goals.
