Bond Cleaning Exclusions of BondCleaninginMelbourne

These items are excluded from our Bond Cleaning Service

Mould

We do our best to remove mould from areas however mould 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 mould 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

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.

We do our best to remove stains however due to the composition of the tiles or benchtops (some being extremely porous) it is not possible to remove stains without specialist intervention.
