Moving out of a rental in Cairnlea (postcode 3023) 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 tenants organising end of lease cleaning Cairnlea from start to finish, with the move-out week in mind.
Covering Cairnlea
Cairnlea is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It sits in Melbourne’s west, and we travel to you from our base in Bundoora. The suburb is mostly residential, with detached houses and townhouses making up much of the rental stock and fewer apartments. That means house end of lease cleaning is a common job here, though apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same checklist on a smaller scale. If you are moving between Cairnlea and nearby Deer Park or St Albans, the process is the same.
You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send details through the free quote form.

If you are comparing an end of lease cleaning quote from several companies, ask each one for the same details so the figures line up.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. Anyone searching for end of lease cleaning prices will find that a studio and a four-bedroom house are not the same job, so call 0401 398 705 for a price based on your place.
Vacate cleaning and exit cleaning are other names for the same job. The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the standard most agents work from at final inspection.
What is included
Move out cleaning is mostly about the places an inspector opens, lifts and runs a hand along. 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
Because it is a defined list, you can check it against your tenancy condition report and see what is left for you to do, such as removing rubbish or your belongings.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants add extras so the whole property is handled on one visit. End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is the most common combination. 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.
End of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning is already partly covered, since the oven and window tracks, sills and flyscreens are part of the standard clean. If you also want the glass washed, window cleaning is from $8 per window. Check your lease, as many agreements ask for professional carpet cleaning at exit.
Picking a time
Dates depend on our diary. If you are searching for same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Cairnlea, we cannot promise any of them in advance. Availability changes from week to week, so call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is open.
The practical move-out week looks like this: pick your key return date first, then work backwards. The clean should happen after your furniture is out and before the final inspection, with carpets done last if you are bundling them. Leaving a gap before handover gives you room if something needs another look.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation keeps the clean focused on the cleaning itself.
- Remove all furniture, personal items and rubbish, including from the garage.
- Empty cupboards, drawers, wardrobes and the fridge, and turn the fridge off if you are leaving it.
- Take down curtains you own and clear window sills.
- Make sure power and water are still connected on the day.
- Arrange access, such as a key or lockbox, if you will not be there.
Tell us about any pets that lived in the property, since that affects carpet treatment.
After the clean
Walk through with your condition report and check the clean against it. If you booked carpets, keep foot traffic off until they are dry, which is usually a few hours. Then return the keys.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That 7-day re-clean guarantee is given in writing. Contact us promptly and pass on the agent’s list so we know exactly what was flagged.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business servicing Melbourne metro suburbs. Our work is built around one job: getting a rental ready for final inspection. We quote by phone or form, give a firm price and put our guarantee in writing, so what you agree to is clear. For tenants wanting professional bond cleaners, that clarity is usually what matters most.
What affects the price
The starting figure of $280 moves with the property. The final quote depends on size and condition. Factors include:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment or a house, and how many levels
- The condition of the oven, bathrooms and windows
- How many windows you want cleaned
- How many carpeted rooms need steam cleaning
If you see cheap end of lease cleaning advertised, compare what sits behind the headline figure: the inclusions, whether a written guarantee is offered, and the price per room for carpets. The same applies when you look for the best end of lease cleaning. A fair comparison looks at the checklist and the guarantee, not a single number.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves the fee, but the cost is time in a week that is already crowded with packing, utilities and handing back keys. Ovens, descaling, window tracks and carpets are the tasks tenants most often run out of time for, and equipment like a truck-mounted extractor is not something you can easily hire for a few rooms.
Booking suits you if your lease requires professional carpet cleaning, your move is tight, or you would rather have a written re-clean guarantee behind the result. Doing it yourself suits a small, lightly used place and a flexible schedule. Either way, work from your condition report.
A checklist to hand us
When you call 0401 398 705 or use the form, have these details ready so the quote is accurate:
- Your Cairnlea address and whether it is an apartment, townhouse or house
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- Number of windows, if you want them cleaned
- Number of carpeted rooms and any stains or pet odour
- Your key return or inspection date
- Any items your agent flagged on the entry condition report
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, booking confirmation, written guarantee and receipt together with your entry and exit condition reports. Take dated photos of each room after the clean, including inside the oven and wardrobes. If the agent later raises a cleaning point, you can show exactly what was done and pass it to us within the 7-day window.
