Drawing on 50+ agency partnerships across WA, the Majestic Vacate Cleaning Perth crew has compiled this definitive, Perth-specific playbook. Leverage these tech tools, niche strategies, and legal must-knows to protect your deposit – whatever curve-ball your property throws at you.

FAQs

Do I have to use 360° photos? Not legally, but they’re gold in a dispute and now expected by many Perth agents.

Can NDIS really pay for my clean? Yes – under Core Supports. See our NDIS guide above.

Who pays if my cleaner breaks something? Their public-liability insurance – provided you verified it first.

Must I mop the hallway of my apartment block? Usually no; common-area cleans fall under strata. Check your bylaws.

Are eco methods good enough for strict inspections? Absolutely – modern steam, vac, and chemical-free tech deliver superior results while slashing water use.
