Bond cleans, defended. Photo-stamped, invoice-fast.

Most Australian end-of-lease operators still quote bond cleans from a Word template, photograph the work on their phone camera roll, and re-key the invoice into Xero or ServiceM8 at the end of the day. The trouble is bond money. When a property manager at Ray White, LJ Hooker or a Harcourts office pings you about a single grout line or an oven they say wasn't done, the only thing standing between you and a free re-clean is whether you can find the right photo in 4,000 camera-roll images, and prove it was taken on the day. Meanwhile the tenant's bond is held up, the agent's exit report is sitting open, and you're losing an hour you can't bill.

OneBookPlus rebuilds the bond clean around the inclusions list. You quote from a state-default template, QLD RTA, NSW Fair Trading, VIC CAV, SA CBS, WA DMIRS, TAS CBOS, ACT ORS or NT CAFL, tick what's included (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, oven, carpets, windows, garage, outdoor), add the extras, and the tenant accepts on their phone before the keys are out of the lock. Every inclusion item then carries its own before/after photo slot, time-stamped as your crew works through the checklist. When an agent disputes the kitchen, you reply with the photo grid for that one inclusion, most pushback resolves the same day instead of dragging toward a QCAT or NCAT hearing.

Your Daily Workflow

The day starts on the dashboard, which groups today's vacate cleans by suburb so a four-truck operation can drive the most efficient route across, say, Carindale, Mansfield and Holland Park rather than crisscrossing Brisbane. Jobs move from Quoted to Booked to On Site to Photographed to Invoiced. The cleaner closing a property sees a single completion checklist, so the oven, the rangehood filter, the tracks on the sliding door and the carpet steam don't slip. The moment the keys are dropped at the agent, you tap Complete and a GST-compliant invoice fires with a Pay Now link, most tenants pay within the hour because their bond release is riding on it. Re-clean requests are logged per job and rolled up per agency, so you can quietly price up the agents who push back on every second job.

Expenses & Accounting

Tenant card payments record against the open invoice as they land, so you always know which bond cleans are still owing. Photograph the docket from Bunnings, the chemical supplier or the carpet-machine hire and the scanner reads the supplier, date, GST and total, so the spend sits against the job as a cost rather than in the glovebox. Come BAS time the GST summary is already prepared, 10% GST collected on every bond clean, GST credits on consumables, net owing, exportable in one click for your accountant.
