Moving out of a rental in Catani 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. If you are looking at end of lease cleaning Catani, the sections below set out how ours works.
Covering Catani
We are based in Bundoora and service Melbourne metro suburbs, including Catani. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send your details through the free quote form.
Rentals can range from apartments to houses, and the job differs a little for each. Apartment end of lease cleaning often involves a lift booking, building entry rules and a shared loading area, so it pays to sort those out early. House end of lease cleaning tends to involve more rooms, more windows and the garage.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price based on the size and condition of your property.
- Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing.
An end of lease cleaning quote is quicker when you have a few details ready. The checklist further down lists what to have on hand.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a fixed price for every property. Please call for a price on your specific rental.
If you are searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Catani, a single number rarely tells you much. A studio apartment and a four-bedroom house are different jobs, so we quote after hearing about the property rather than publishing a flat rate.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. The 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 work property managers commonly check at an exit inspection, whether they call it a vacate clean, exit clean or end of tenancy clean. The terms differ, but the checklist behind them is much the same.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants add carpets, since agents often ask for proof of professional carpet cleaning. 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.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, tell us when you call. We can work out which items are already part of the standard clean and which are extras, then give you one combined price.
Bundling is optional. If your carpets are new or your windows are few, you may only need the base clean. We would rather quote what the property needs than add items you do not.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary, and we do not promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning. The same goes for weekend end of lease cleaning: whether a particular day is free is something we can only confirm when you call.
The practical advice is to ring 0401 398 705 as early as you can once you know your move-out date. Booking is usually within two to four business days, so leaving it until the final afternoon limits your options.
If you live in an apartment, build the building into your timing. Some buildings only allow lift bookings or loading dock use during set hours, and that can affect when a cleaner can get in with equipment.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation helps the clean go smoothly:
- Remove all furniture, personal items and rubbish, including from the garage, balcony and storage cage.
- Empty the fridge and pantry if they are part of the inspection.
- Book the lift or loading dock with building management if your building requires it, and pass on any entry codes or fob arrangements.
- Confirm where the cleaner can park, or whether visitor parking needs a permit.
- Make sure power and water are still connected so the oven, dishwasher and bathrooms can be cleaned properly.
- Arrange keys or access if you will not be home.
For houses, check that side gates and the garage are accessible. For apartments, check whether the owners corporation has rules on noise hours or on moving equipment through common areas.
After the clean
Do a walk-through once the clean is finished if you can. Compare the property with your entry condition report and the agent’s cleaning checklist.
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. It is the guarantee we offer, so when you contact us, include the agent’s comments or a list of the items they flagged.
If you also booked carpet cleaning, keep foot traffic off the carpets until they are dry, which is usually a few hours.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. Our professional bond cleaners work to the REIV exit condition standard and focus on the areas inspectors look at.
People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning. We do not describe ourselves in those terms, because they do not help you compare. It is more useful to compare:
- What each quote includes, such as oven, windows, tracks, garage and wardrobes
- Whether the re-clean guarantee is in writing and how many days it runs
- The price per room for carpet cleaning and the price per window
- Whether the price is firm or open-ended
Those four points will tell you more than a headline price.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment or a house, and whether there is a garage
- How much grease is built up in the oven, cooktop and range hood
- Limescale in bathrooms and the laundry
- Number of carpeted rooms, and any stains or pet odour
- Number of windows, and whether tracks and flyscreens are heavily soiled
- Building access, such as lift times, long carry distances or restricted parking
A rental that has been kept tidy usually needs less work than one that has not had a deep clean in years. Being upfront about condition gives you a more accurate quote.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning the place yourself is a legitimate option, and some tenants manage it well. The oven, range hood, window tracks and bathroom limescale are where most of the time goes, and those are the items agents tend to look at closely.
Booking suits you if you are juggling a move, work, or an interstate trip, or if you want a written re-clean guarantee behind the result. Move out cleaning is also easier to schedule around building access when someone else is managing it. Either way, work from the agent’s checklist so nothing is missed.
You do not have to decide before you call. Ask for a quote and compare it against how many hours you would spend.
A checklist to hand us
When you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form, these details help us give an accurate price:
- Property address and whether it is an apartment, unit or house
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Which rooms are carpeted, and any stains or pet odour
- Approximate number of windows
- Condition of the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- Whether there is a garage, balcony or storage area

Keeping your paperwork
Keep your invoice and the written 7-day re-clean guarantee together with your lease documents. Add your entry condition report, the agent’s cleaning checklist and any photos you took on the final day.
If the agent raises a cleaning issue, send us the details quickly so we can arrange the return visit inside the 7-day window. Keep the paperwork until your bond has been fully finalised.
