Moving out of a rental in Abbotsford (postcode 3067) comes down to a few practical questions: what does the clean cost, what does it cover, how quickly can it be booked, and what happens if the agent is not satisfied? This page answers each of them using what we state on our site. It is written for anyone planning end of lease cleaning Abbotsford rentals require, with extra attention to pets and carpets.
Covering Abbotsford
Abbotsford is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It sits in inner-city Melbourne beside the Yarra River, next to Collingwood and Richmond. Our business is based in Bundoora, so we travel to you, and you can book by phone or through the quote form.
The suburb has a mix of apartment buildings, townhouses and older terrace and freestanding houses, so the work varies. Apartment end of lease cleaning is usually a matter of balconies, built-in wardrobes and compact kitchens and bathrooms. House end of lease cleaning tends to add more rooms, more windows and sometimes a garage. Whichever you are leaving, the clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard.
If you live near the Victoria Street shopping and dining strip, Abbotsford station or the Yarra Bend Park end of the suburb, the address makes no difference to how we work. Tell us what the property is like and we quote on that.
From quote to booking
You can request a quote in two ways: call us, or use the free quote form. Either way, the process for an end of lease cleaning quote is the same.
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price based on the details you give us.
- You book. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days.
- You receive our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
The guarantee works like this: if your property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge.
What the price starts from
Our Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. Call 0401 398 705 for a price that fits your place.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices in Abbotsford, ask each company for the same things in writing: what is included, whether a re-clean guarantee is offered and for how long, and what carpet work costs per room. A low headline figure means little if the oven, windows or carpets are extra.
What is included
Bond cleaning, vacate cleaning and exit cleaning all mean roughly the same thing: leaving the property clean enough to pass the agent’s final inspection. Here is what our clean covers:
- Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven, cooktop and range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
This is the checklist agents tend to work from, so it helps to compare it line by line with the list from your property manager.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are the part of a move out cleaning job that pet owners should think about first. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
If you are weighing up end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, a few points help:
- Many leases ask for carpets to be professionally cleaned at exit, so check yours and keep the receipt.
- If a pet has had accidents, tell us when you call. Odour treatment is something we can arrange, but it is better planned than discovered on the day.
- Count the carpeted rooms, including bedrooms, living areas and hallways, so the per-room price is easy to work out.
Windows are priced from $8 per window. For end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, the oven is already part of the standard clean, and the window clean covers the glass in addition to the tracks, sills and flyscreens in the base list. Count your windows, including any on balconies or in stairwells, before you call.
Picking a time
Most tenants have a hard deadline: the key handover or the final inspection. Availability depends on our diary, so call 0401 398 705 as early as you can once you know your dates.
If you are looking for same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning in Abbotsford, we cannot promise either. The same goes for weekend end of lease cleaning. Whether a particular day is free is something we can only confirm by phone. A booking made early gives you the most choice.
One practical tip: aim to have the carpets done as close to the end as your lease allows, and leave time between the clean and the inspection in case anything needs attention.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes the clean more effective, particularly if you have animals.
- Remove all your belongings, furniture and rubbish. We clean the property, not clear it.
- Take away pet bedding, bowls, litter trays and toys, and arrange for pets to be elsewhere on the day.
- Note any pet stains or odours so we can discuss spot treatment and odour treatment.
- Make sure we can get in, including any building access, lifts or intercom arrangements if you live in an apartment.
- Have your agent’s cleaning list on hand if they gave you one.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the work is finished, ideally with your agent’s checklist. Look at the oven, bathroom, windows and wardrobes, then the carpets.
Keep pets and foot traffic off the carpets until they are fully dry. They are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, but a thick pile or a cool, closed-up apartment can take longer.
If your property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, contact us on 0401 398 705. We return and fix it free of charge. People often search for a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning, but what we guarantee is the 7-day re-clean. We do not guarantee any bond outcome, because that decision belongs to the agent and the landlord.
About us
We are a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora, servicing metro suburbs including Abbotsford. If you are looking for professional bond cleaners, what you can check is what we state: the REIV exit condition standard, a defined inclusions list, published starting prices for carpets and windows, and a written 7-day re-clean guarantee.
We would rather you ask questions before booking than be surprised on the day. Call 0401 398 705 or use the free quote form.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. A one-bedroom apartment that has been kept tidy is a different job from a family house with a garage, a heavily used oven and several bathrooms. Extras such as carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning are priced separately, from $35 per room and $8 per window.
You may be searching for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning. Neither phrase tells you much on its own. A fairer comparison looks at:
- Inclusions: oven, range hood, windows, tracks and wardrobes should be listed.
- A written guarantee: how long it runs and what the company will do if the agent finds a problem.
- Price per room for carpets, and whether spot treatment is included.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Some tenants clean everything themselves, and that can work if you have time and the right equipment. The difficult parts are usually the oven, the range hood, descaling in the bathroom and laundry, window tracks and the carpets. Hot water extraction machines are hard to match with a hired unit, and pet odour is difficult to deal with at home.
Booking makes sense when you are also handling a removalist, utility transfers and a handover date. A middle option is to tidy and clear the property yourself, then book the clean and the carpets. Either way, the aim is a property that matches what the agent will look for in end of tenancy cleaning terms: clean, clear and free of marks.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, these details let us give you an accurate price:
- The address, and whether it is an apartment, townhouse or house
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- How many rooms are carpeted
- Approximate number of windows
- Whether you have pets, and any known stains or odours
- Oven and range hood condition
- Whether there is a garage
- Your key handover date and inspection date
- Any cleaning list from your agent
Keeping your paperwork
Hold on to everything until your bond is dealt with. That means your quote, receipt, the written 7-day re-clean guarantee, any carpet cleaning receipt, and your entry condition report. Photos taken after the clean are also useful.
If the agent contacts you about cleaning, send them the paperwork and call us on 0401 398 705 within the 7-day window. Having the dates and details ready makes that conversation quick.
