Moving out of a rental in Clematis (postcode 3782) 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 for end of lease cleaning Clematis, the sections below set out the price, the inclusions and the guarantee in plain terms.
Covering Clematis
Clematis is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in the Dandenong Ranges, in Melbourne’s outer east, and the Puffing Billy railway runs through the area. Emerald and Selby are close by. Most rentals here are detached houses rather than apartment blocks, though some tenants rent units or part of a larger property.
We are based in Bundoora and travel to you. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send the details through our free quote form.
This page has a particular focus on student and share-house moves. These often involve several people on one lease, one inspection date and a lot of shared spaces to clean. Those details are covered in the sections below.
From quote to booking
The process is short, and you know the price before you commit.
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes by phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or fill in the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property.
- You book. This is usually within two to four business days of the quote, depending on the diary.
- We clean, and the 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing.
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 home. The final quote depends on property size and condition, so please call for a price rather than relying on a figure you saw somewhere else.
People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning in Clematis. Neither label tells you much, so we suggest comparing the same things across every quote:
- What is actually included (oven, wardrobes, window tracks, garage)
- Whether a re-clean guarantee is given in writing, and for how long
- The price per room for carpet cleaning
- Whether the clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard
When you compare end of lease cleaning prices this way, a low headline figure that leaves out the oven or the carpets often stops looking low.
What is included
Our vacate cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For a house end of lease cleaning job or an apartment end of lease cleaning job, 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 same list agents tend to work through at an exit inspection. Exit cleaning is less about making a home look tidy and more about meeting the condition report line by line.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are the item most often missed. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if an animal has lived in the home. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning in Clematis, ask for both to be quoted together so the room count is clear. Many tenants in houses with several bedrooms find that carpet is a large part of the total.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. Window tracks, sills and flyscreens are already part of the main clean, so ask us how the glass is handled when we quote. For end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, the oven is already included. Windows are the part you may want to add, depending on how many there are and what the inspection checklist says.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary, and we do not promise a slot until we have confirmed it with you. That applies to same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning and weekend end of lease cleaning alike. If your key return or final inspection is close, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
For share houses, agree on one handover date before you call. A clean booked after the last person has moved out is easier to schedule than one fitted around several people still carrying boxes. Student leases that end at the same time as many others can be harder to place in the diary, so early contact helps.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few things make the job go smoothly:
- Remove all personal belongings, furniture and rubbish, including from the garage and any outdoor storage.
- Empty the fridge and pantry, and take your food out of the cupboards.
- Make sure the cleaners can get inside, and that water and power are still connected.
- Tell us about pets, heavy stains or anything the agent has already flagged.
- Settle any disagreements between housemates about who owns what. Items left behind can slow the job down.
Cleaners work fastest in an empty property. Furniture left in the way can mean some areas are not reached.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the clean is done if you can, or check the agent’s exit condition report when it arrives. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That guarantee is given in writing.
A note on the phrase bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning. We do not guarantee the outcome of your bond claim, because that decision rests with the agent or landlord and can involve things beyond cleaning. What we guarantee is the re-clean. If a cleaning issue is raised within the 7 days, contact us promptly and send through the agent’s list.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. We provide professional bond cleaners for rentals across the metro area, including Clematis. Our focus is bond cleaning for tenants, meaning the clean at the end of a tenancy, along with carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning as add-ons.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaners, ask each one the same questions about inclusions, the written guarantee and the pricing method.
What affects the price
The starting price of $280 moves with the job in front of us. The main factors are:
- Property size. A one-bedroom unit and a four-bedroom house are different amounts of work.
- Condition. Built-up grease in an oven or heavy limescale in a shower takes longer.
- Number of carpeted rooms. Carpet steam cleaning is priced per room, from $35.
- Number of windows. Window cleaning is priced per window, from $8.
- Pets. Pet odour treatment can be added for carpets.
For a share house, size and condition matter more than the number of tenants. Tell us the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas, and it will be easier to give you an accurate end of lease cleaning quote.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Some tenants clean the whole property themselves, and that can work when time and energy allow. The jobs that trip people up are the oven, the range hood, shower descaling, window tracks and carpets. They need time, the right products and, for carpet, proper equipment.
Move out cleaning is also harder when you are juggling a job, study, packing and a handover date. Booking a cleaner makes sense when:
- Your inspection is close and you still have packing to do
- You want the clean written up with a guarantee, not just done
- Several housemates are splitting the cost and want one clear invoice
- The carpet needs more than a vacuum
If your property manager has asked for professional carpet cleaning, check your lease and the agent’s instructions before you decide.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes an end of tenancy cleaning quote quicker, whether you call or use the free quote form:
- The property address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- Number of carpeted rooms
- Approximate number of windows
- Whether pets have lived there
- Your lease end date and the inspection date, if known
- Any list the agent has given you
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your records together until the bond is finalised. That means the written 7-day guarantee, our invoice, the agent’s exit condition checklist and your entry condition report. Date-stamped photos of the finished property are also useful. In a share house, store copies where every tenant on the lease can reach them, so no one is chasing a single person for a document.
