Bond Cleaning Exclusions of BondCleaninginSydney

These items are excluded from our Bond Cleaning Service

Mold

• We do our best to remove mold from areas however mold can be imbedded into silicon, grout and other areas. These areas will require a specialist to restore back to a normal state.

Damp Spots

• Damp spots can happen anywhere in the house, often the ‘dry wall’ plaster can be affected. We will do our best to remove any mold and marks from Damp spots however we can’t completely make these spots disappear. These marks can return quickly due to excess moisture.

Complete Wall clean

• We spot clean the walls for insect marks etc .. however, a full wall clean requires more time and often does not have a different result. A full wall clean is only required if marks exist beyond normal ‘wear and tear’.

Discolouration

• We will do our best to clean all items with our commercial experience however discoloration happens with normal wear and tear of the property. Often grout, toilets and plastics can discolor (often into a yellow colour) over time and they can’t be returned to their original colour without specialist intervention.
