Picking a time

When you plan the move-out week, the usual order is:
- pack and remove furniture first
- book the clean for after the property is empty
- leave carpets until last, because foot traffic undoes them
- keep a gap before your final inspection in case anything needs attention
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation keeps the clean focused on the property rather than your belongings.
- Remove all furniture, personal items and rubbish, including from the garage.
- Empty the fridge, freezer and pantry.
- Leave power and water connected on the day.
- Arrange access, such as keys or a lockbox, if you will not be there.
- Take down picture hooks and leftover adhesive strips if your lease requires it.
After the clean
Do a walk-through, ideally in daylight, and compare it with your agent’s cleaning list. Then hand the keys back as arranged.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our guarantee, and it is in writing. Please tell us promptly and pass on the agent’s comments as they wrote them. We do not offer a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning Canterbury service. The bond decision belongs to the agent and the lessor, and our guarantee is the 7-day re-clean.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We clean rentals across the metro area, offering Bond & End of Lease Cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning.

What affects the price
Every property is different, which is why we quote rather than publish one rate. The main factors are:
- the size of the property and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- its condition, especially the oven, bathrooms and windows
- the number of carpeted rooms
- the number of windows
- whether there is a garage
- any extras, such as pet odour treatment
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself costs only supplies, but it takes time in a week that is already crowded. You also have to meet an inspection standard you cannot easily test until the agent arrives. Booking makes sense when you are working, moving interstate, or leaving a larger house. It also suits anyone unsure what the agent will look for.
If you do it yourself, the oven, the bathroom limescale and the window tracks are where tenants most often run out of time. A written re-clean guarantee is the main thing you gain by booking.
A checklist to hand us
Have these details ready when you call or fill in the form, so we can give you an accurate price:
- the address and whether it is an apartment or house
- the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- the number of carpeted rooms and windows
- whether pets have lived there
- your handover date and any agent cleaning list
- how we will get access
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, the quote and your receipt together with your entry condition report. Take dated photos of the finished property before you hand back the keys. If a dispute arises, these records show what condition you left it in and when.
