Customer complaints
About end of lease/pre-sale cleaning
If our cleaning does not pass inspection of the landlord/real-estate agent you will be required to email a list of the items that need to be re-cleaned to office@canberrasbestgroup.com.au within 4 days of the clean. We will then arrange a re-clean of the item(s) specified in the email within 72 hours. We must also be given access to the property. We will not perform a re-clean unless the inspection is done by the landlord/real-estate agent. For more information see canberrasbestgroup.com.au/fair-go-policy.

 

About carpet steam cleaning
Our staffs are trained in carpet steam cleaning and they will ensure the best possible outcome is achieved. If the landlord/real-estate agent is not satisfied with this outcome it is not due to the cleaning but due to the irreversible wear and tear of the carpet caused by occupancy in the property. It’s important to understand that some stains can never be lifted from carpets and high traffic areas can’t be made to look like the surrounding carpet. We reserve the right to refuse re-cleaning of carpets if the duty manager believes we can’t achieve a better outcome.

Payment will be collected on the day after the cleaning has been completed.

For normal customers we accept cash or debit or credit card. For commercial or business clients we may choose to invoice for bank transfers.


3. What if I have item(s) that I want cleaned but it isn’t on your list?
Our package covers your property to a real-estate standard that we have formulated to cover most of the agents in Canberra. If there are additional items you need cleaned it is best to mention at the time of the booking. We can cater to most cleaning types so please don’t hesitate to ask. We can also provide an approximate price over the phone.


4. Will the price increase?
If there are any changes to prices you will be notified on the day. Should you want an exact price before the day of the cleaning you can book an on-site quote which will give you an exact price.


5. Can I leave my house unattended during the clean?
Yes, you just have to let us in or arrange access to the property. You may request that we call you before finishing so you can return otherwise we will lock up and return the key. You may not be notified when we leave unless requested otherwise.


6. How many times will you return to the property for a re-clean?
Generally, it only takes one time to fix any cleaning issues. If a second re-clean is requested we may refuse due to the items requested for re-clean being unclean able or unreasonable.


7. Do I get a refund if I’m not happy with your work?
No, we provide re-cleans to resolve any issues and we use a checklist to ensure a consistent standard is maintained in all of the properties we clean. We also provide free re-cleans if there are any issues. In special circumstances where we acknowledge we are at fault and can’t rectify the issue we may provide a partial re-fund based on our discretion of the cost to rectify the issue. If your landlord/agent undertakes other cleaners to rectify the issue we will not match prices.


8. Why aren’t the cleaners here on time?
Our jobs are usually very large and take considerable time complete. Hence, it is very difficult to accurately predict when we can finish and move to the next job. If we are running behind or ahead of schedule you will be notified, otherwise they are most likely on the way and will be there soon.


9. Do you move furniture?
No, furniture and personal belongings will not be moved. We will clean around them the best we can.

End of lease cleaning questions
1. Do you guarantee that your cleaning will pass inspection?
Yes, but within reason. Our cleaning is done to a real-estate standard however; some agents and more so landlords expect a brand new house, which just isn’t possible. We clean the property so another person can happily move in. What we don’t do is build a new house. For more information see canberrasbestgroup.com.au/fair-go-policy.

Yes, but if there is furniture, appliances and belongings present in the property we will work around them without moving them. If our cleaning does not pass inspection because there is dirt left over from where those belongings were we can’t take responsibility and return free of charge to re-clean.

Yes, often we can do it on the same day and sometimes we need to take it away. It’s best to let us know at the time of the booking so we can ask questions about your curtains.
