Airbnb cleaning that protects your reviews
If you host short-stay guests in Melbourne, you already know the pattern. A guest checks out in the morning, the next one arrives in the afternoon, and the place has to look untouched. Cleanliness is one of the first things guests mention in a review, so a missed bathroom corner or a greasy oven door can cost you more than the price of a clean. Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based team that services 386 Melbourne metro suburbs. We bring the same detail we use on bond and end of lease cleans to Airbnb and short-stay properties.
What a guest-ready clean covers
Short-stay properties get used hard and reset fast. Our checklists come from end of lease work, where every room is inspected closely, so we clean the way a property manager would inspect. For your listing, that means working through the home room by room:
- Kitchen: benchtops, sink, splashbacks, cupboard exteriors and the oven, cleaned so the kitchen looks ready for the next guest.
- Bathrooms and toilets: showers, screens, tiles, vanities, mirrors and fixtures scrubbed and polished.
- Bedrooms and living areas: surfaces dusted, floors vacuumed and mopped, and the space left tidy and presentable.
- Windows: inside glass and tracks, with windows from $8 per window.
- Carpets: carpet cleaning from $35 per room when stains or odours build up between stays.
- Garage and storage areas: included in our full bond cleans, and available for a deep reset.
Your scope can be adjusted to suit the property. A one-bedroom apartment needs a different plan from a four-bedroom family home, so we confirm the scope once we understand the size and what you need.
Three situations where hosts call us
1. A deep clean before you list. Before your first guest arrives, the property should be spotless from top to bottom. A full clean of the kitchen, bathrooms, windows and floors gives you a clean baseline. It also makes your listing photos look better, because the space is clear and the surfaces are clean.
2. A reset after a tough stay. Sometimes a stay leaves a mess that a quick tidy won’t fix: grease on the stove, marks on carpet, dirty windows. A deeper reset clean brings the property back to standard before the next booking.
3. An end-of-stay clean when a long-term guest leaves. If a tenant or long-stay guest moves out, this is effectively a bond or end of lease situation. Our bond and end of lease cleaning is a separate per-job service, from $280 per job (not an hourly rate), and is based on the REIV exit condition standard. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we provide a written 7-day re-clean. That applies to our bond and end of lease service.
Why Melbourne hosts choose a specialist team
Plenty of general cleaners can run a vacuum through a unit. The difference with a bond cleaning team is the standard. Bond cleans are judged by property managers who check the oven, the shower screen, the window tracks and the skirting boards. We clean to that level, so your Airbnb gets the same thorough finish rather than a surface tidy.
We are based in Bundoora, and we cover 386 suburbs across the Melbourne metro area. That reach matters to hosts with properties in different parts of the city, or hosts who own in one suburb and live in another. You deal with one team, one phone number and one process.
How booking works
Booking is straightforward:
- Tell us about the property. Call 0401 398 705 or use the free quote form with the suburb, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and what you need.
- Get your quote. We confirm the scope and the price for your property. Airbnb cleaning is charged at $60 per hour with a 3-hour minimum booking, so the minimum is $180. The hours needed depend on the size of the home and its condition, so we confirm the scope with you when you ask for a quote.
- Choose a date. We usually book in two to four business days. If you have a tight gap before the next guest, tell us up front and we will say what we can do.
- Enjoy a guest-ready property. We clean to the agreed scope so the property is ready for your next check-in.
Tips for hosts between stays
These are general hosting tips, not claims about our service, so use them as you see fit:
- Keep a simple checklist for each room so nothing is missed between guests.
- Photograph the property after each clean. If a dispute arises, you have a record of its condition.
- Check the oven, shower screen and window tracks regularly. They are the spots that quickly look neglected.
- Allow enough time between check-out and check-in for a proper clean, especially on busy weekends.
- Replace worn towels and linen on a schedule, because stained or thin linen hurts reviews even in a clean home.
Airbnb cleaning and bond cleaning together
Many hosts also own or manage rental properties with long-term tenants. If that is you, one team can look after both. We do the bond cleaning when a tenant leaves and the guest-ready cleaning for your short-stay listing.
