Two-storey homes are increasingly common in Perth's outer suburbs and newer developments. Bond cleaning them involves everything in a single-storey home plus some specific considerations for the second level and staircase.
The Staircase
Stairs accumulate dust and grime on every tread, riser, and the skirting boards either side. The stair balustrade — whether timber rails, glass panels, or metal — is also checked. Stairs take longer to clean properly than an equivalent floor area because each step needs individual attention. Allow extra time, or confirm with your professional cleaner that stairs are specifically included.
Upstairs Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The second storey typically houses the bedrooms and ensuite in most Perth two-storey homes. Each bedroom gets the same treatment as in a single-storey property: wardrobes, blinds, skirting boards, window tracks, and floors. The ensuite is checked to the same bathroom standard as downstairs.
External Windows on the Upper Level
Standard bond cleaning includes internal window cleaning throughout. External cleaning of upper-level windows requires access equipment (a ladder or water-fed pole) and is usually priced as an add-on. If your ingoing condition report noted clean external upper windows, you may need to arrange this.
Typical Cost for a Two-Storey Perth Home
A 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom two-storey home: $550–$750 for a professional bond clean. With carpet steam cleaning for upstairs bedrooms: add $100–$180. These are indicative figures — get a specific quote based on your property's layout.
How Long Does It Take?
A professional team of 2: typically 7–10 hours for a standard two-storey 4x2. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms, double garage, and alfresco can take longer. Book a full day to be safe.
Tips for Two-Storey Bond Cleans
- Ensure the property is completely vacated on both levels before the clean starts
- Confirm stairs are explicitly included in your cleaner's scope
- Ask about upper-level external windows if they were clean at ingoing
- Book early — full-day jobs are in higher demand
