Moving out of a rental in Chelsea (postcode 3196) 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 arranging end of lease cleaning Chelsea property managers will inspect, so it goes through the clean room by room.
Covering Chelsea
Chelsea is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, in Melbourne’s south-east bayside region. It sits on Port Phillip Bay, with a station on the Frankston line and shops around the station and the Nepean Highway. Rentals here are a mix of houses, units and townhouses, with some apartments, so both apartment end of lease cleaning and house end of lease cleaning are common requests. Edithvale and Bonbeach are the neighbouring suburbs, and we service those too.
We are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.

- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone usually take under five minutes.

- You receive a firm price for your property.
- Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The clean comes with our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
If you are comparing an end of lease cleaning quote from several companies, ask each one for the price in writing and what it includes.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate. Call 0401 398 705 for a price on your property.
People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning. Neither phrase tells you much on its own. When you look at end of lease cleaning prices, compare these instead:
- what is listed as included (oven, windows, inside cupboards, and so on)
- whether a re-clean guarantee is in writing, and how many days it runs
- the price per room for carpets and per window for glass
- whether the work is done to the REIV exit condition standard
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. Property managers tend to work through a rental room by room against the entry condition report, so here is what the clean covers and what they look at.
- Kitchen: inside cupboards and drawers, oven, cooktop, range hood and dishwasher. Baked-on grease and dirty filters are common marks against a tenant.
- Bathrooms and laundry: descaling of tiles, taps, screens and fixtures, plus the laundry tub and cupboards. Bayside water can leave scale, and agents check shower screens and tap bases closely.
- Bedrooms: inside wardrobes and drawers, along with skirting and marks on walls and doors.
- Windows: glass, tracks, sills and flyscreens. Dusty tracks are an easy thing for an agent to spot.
- Garage: a sweep and cobweb removal.
This is the standard of vacate cleaning and exit cleaning that agents expect at the final inspection.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are usually the next item on the agent’s list. Our carpet steam cleaning is truck-mounted hot water extraction, 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 from $8 per window. If your property has many windows, that per-window price is worth adding up against what is already included in the standard clean.
Many tenants ask for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, in one booking. The oven is already part of the clean. Tell us what you want when you call and we will put it in one firm quote.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning. If your lease ends soon, or you need a weekend, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is open.
Most tenants book the clean after the furniture is out and before the final inspection. Aim to leave a gap between the clean and the inspection, in case anything needs attention.
Before the cleaner arrives
A move out cleaning job goes more smoothly when the property is empty. Before we arrive:
- remove all furniture, boxes and personal items
- empty the fridge, freezer and pantry
- take down hooks, picture nails and anything fixed to walls that you are responsible for
- make sure power and water are on
- let us know about access, parking or building rules, especially in an apartment block
Cleaning does not cover damage, so repairs and rubbish removal are best arranged separately.
After the clean
Once the clean is done, do a walk-through with your entry condition report in hand. Check the oven, bathrooms, windows and wardrobes first, since these are the areas property managers look at most closely.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That guarantee is in writing. Contact us promptly, with the agent’s list of items if they gave you one.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. We service Melbourne metro suburbs, including Chelsea. Our focus here is simple: professional bond cleaners who work to the REIV exit condition standard, give you a firm price, and put the re-clean guarantee in writing.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. A one-bedroom unit and a four-bedroom house are different jobs, as are a recently maintained home and one with heavy grease, mould or built-up scale. The number of bathrooms, the number of windows and whether you add carpets also change the total.
Because of that, we ask you to call 0401 398 705 for a quote instead of quoting a number before we know the property. The $280 starting price applies to Bond & End of Lease Cleaning only. Carpets and windows are priced separately, at the per-room and per-window rates above.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself can work if you have time and the property is in reasonable condition. The difficulty is usually the detail: oven racks, range hood filters, window tracks and bathroom scale. These take longer than most tenants expect, and agents notice them.
Booking makes sense when you are moving at the same time, working to a tight handover, or do not want to risk a failed inspection over missed spots. Whichever way you go, think of end of tenancy cleaning as the final job on your moving list, not an afterthought.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, have these details ready:
- the address, and whether it is a house, unit, townhouse or apartment
- the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- the number of windows, if you want them quoted
- the number of carpeted rooms, and any pet odours or stains
- your lease end date and inspection date
- any notes from the agent or your entry condition report
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your invoice and the written 7-day re-clean guarantee until your bond is finalised. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue, you will want both on hand. Also keep your entry condition report, the agent’s inspection notes and any photos you took at handover.
The guarantee covers the 7-day re-clean. It is not a promise about the outcome of your bond claim, which is decided between you, your agent and the lessor.
