If it's inside the U, it meets our standard.
The U isn't just our logo. It's the line every Spruce clean has to clear before we call it complete. For end-of-tenancy cleans, that means a documented, property-manager-aligned finish — applied the same way, by trained teams, on every job.
Inspection-grade finish. Every room, surface and fixture cleaned to a documented handover checklist — aligned with the details property managers typically inspect, not just "looks clean".
Photo-verified before we sign off. A job can't be marked complete in our system until the required photos are checked. No photos, no sign-off — and the record is kept if a bond is ever queried.
Trained, signed-off teams. Every Spruce cleaner is trained and signed off in our own system before they work on a handover — so the standard doesn't depend on who turns up.
Proven and trusted. 3,000+ end-of-tenancy and home cleans across NZ, with 4.9★ from 131 Google reviews.
Trusted by tenants and property managers across agencies including Harcourts, Crockers, Ray White and Quinovic — and many smaller independents.
What's included in an end-of-tenancy clean.
Our end-of-tenancy clean covers every part of the property a property manager will check at handover. The full checklist is below — here's the headline.
Sold your home? We'll get it settlement-ready.
Not every move-out is a rental. When you've sold, the handover goes to the buyer rather than a property manager — but a spotless home matters just as much. A fresh, clean house photographs better, shows better at open homes, and gives the new owners a great first impression on settlement day. Spruce treats a sale like any other move-out: a full top-to-bottom clean — kitchens and bathrooms detailed, floors and carpets done, marks and grime lifted — so you can hand over the keys with the place looking its best.
End of tenancy cleaning prices.
End-of-tenancy pricing is based on the number of bedrooms in your home. Add-ons (oven, carpet, windows, etc.) are priced individually so you only pay for what you need.

How our end-of-tenancy clean works.
Four stages, same order, every time. Built around the order a property manager will inspect the property — top to bottom, dry tasks before wet, then a final walk-through.
Instant quote, online or onsite.
Most customers get an instant fixed price in under a minute. For larger or more customised jobs we'll arrange an onsite quote — no surprises on the day.
- Enter your details and property info online — see a personalised price in seconds.
- One of our trained end-of-tenancy teams is assigned and confirmed for your booking.
- If anything outside the booking needs special attention (e.g. full wall washing), we'll flag it for you to add before the day.
- For non-standard jobs or properties not listed online, email or call us for an onsite quote.
The work that starts before we do.
Pre-treatment lets specialist products do the hard work while our team starts on dry tasks elsewhere. It's the difference between scrubbing and lifting.
- Stained toilet bowls treated with a specialised cleaning agent.
- Tile and grout in bathrooms or kitchens pre-treated where needed.
- Ovens (when booked) sprayed and left for the chemistry to break down baked-on residue.
- While pre-treatment works, the team begins the top-down dry clean upstairs.
Top to bottom. Same order, every time.
Working from ceiling to floor is the most efficient way to clean a property — gravity is on our side and nothing gets re-dirtied later. Every step is on the checklist.
- Cobwebs removed from ceilings, corners and exterior eaves.
- Ceiling fans, air vents and light fittings dusted and wiped.
- Return to pre-treated areas — confirm the chemistry has done its job.
- Kitchen: tops of cabinets first, then splashback and benchtops degreased, then bottom cabinets and inside.
- Windows, frames and blinds (if booked) handled while ladders are out.
- Walls spot-cleaned; light switches, intercoms, power sockets and aircon units wiped.
- Doors and door frames wiped on both sides.
- Wardrobes: inside and out, mirrors, and door tracks.
- Bathrooms: tiles and grout, mirrors and vanities; soap scum and hard-water marks cut back; then toilets, showers and bathtubs scrubbed.
- Skirting boards wiped throughout the property.
- Laundry and any inbuilt appliances (e.g. dryer) cleaned.
- All floors vacuumed (corners included) and hard floors mopped by hand.
- Carpet steam clean (if booked) is the final step — so nothing walks across freshly cleaned carpet.
Final walk-through. Nothing missed, nothing hidden.
Before we close the door, the team walks the property against the full checklist. Anything we can't fully restore is photographed and reported — so you know before your property manager does.
- Full checklist walked, room by room, against the original brief.
- Any missed spots picked up before the team leaves.
- Anything that can't be fully cleaned (e.g. damaged grout, permanent stains) is photographed and reported back to you.
- Tasks needing specialist equipment booked in advance — house washing, professional carpet cleaning, exterior window cleaning, deep grout work.
- If anything is flagged at handover within 48 hours, we come back and put it right — at no extra charge.
