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, so please call for a price based on your place. We do not publish other figures for the standard clean because the right number depends on what we find when we look at the size and condition of the home.
Anyone comparing end of lease cleaning prices Cottles Bridge wide will see a wide spread. A lower headline figure can leave out the oven, the windows or the garage, so check what each quote actually lists.
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 kind of list professional bond cleaners work through room by room, and it lines up with what most property managers check at an exit inspection. Whether you call it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning, the aim is the same: the property returned in the condition the standard describes.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are the item tenants most often leave to the end. 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, which matters if you are carrying boxes out the same afternoon.
If your lease or agent expects professional carpet cleaning, end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Cottles Bridge tenants book is a single visit to organise rather than two. Window cleaning is from $8 per window, and end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning is a sensible combination when the glass is marked or the oven has not been touched for a while. Ask on the phone exactly what the standard clean covers for windows and what the per-window service adds, so you are not paying twice.
Picking a time
When a lease ends, the clean has to fit between emptying the house and handing back the keys. We cannot promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning. Availability depends on the diary, and the only way to find out is to call 0401 398 705 as early as you can, ideally as soon as you know your vacate date.
If you are moving from Cottles Bridge to another suburb on a short timeline, a few habits help:
- Book the clean before you book the removalists, or at least at the same time.
- Plan for the house to be fully empty when the cleaners arrive.
- Leave a gap between the clean and the final inspection in case anything needs another look.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean works best on an empty property. Take out furniture, boxes, rubbish and anything left in the cupboards, wardrobes, garage and oven. If you have a shed or outdoor areas that came with the house, tell us when you call so they are part of the quote.
Confirm how we will get in, and let us know about pets, locked rooms or anything fragile that belongs to the owner. If the carpets need treating, point out stains and pet accidents so they can be assessed properly. Anything you want checked, such as a mark on a wall or a stubborn stovetop, is easier to deal with if you mention it up front.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the clean is done and compare it with the agent’s list. Take dated photos of each room, the oven, the bathrooms and the windows before you hand the keys back.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, call us. We return and fix it free of charge, as set out in your written guarantee. Some people search for a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning Cottles Bridge providers advertise, so to be clear: we do not guarantee any bond outcome. The bond decision belongs to the landlord or agent. What we guarantee is the 7-day re-clean.

What affects the price
The starting price of $280 for Bond & End of Lease Cleaning is the base. Your final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- How much grease is in the oven, cooktop and range hood
- Limescale in bathrooms and the laundry
- The number of windows, tracks and flyscreens
- The garage, and how much needs sweeping or clearing of cobwebs
- Carpeted rooms for steam cleaning, at $35 per room, and any pet odour treatment
Larger rural-style homes with a double garage, several living spaces or many windows will usually cost more than a small unit, which is why we quote each property individually.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, but it costs time you may not have in the last week of a lease. The oven, range hood, window tracks and bathroom descaling are the jobs that take longest and are most often marked down at inspection.
If you decide to book, searches for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning Cottles Bridge can leave you comparing the wrong things. We do not claim to be either. Instead, compare what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets and per window for glass. Those details tell you more than a headline price.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the phone quote quicker and the price firmer:
- Property address and postcode
- House, unit or apartment
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms
- Approximate number of windows
- Pets in the property, and any odours
- Your vacate date and key return date
- A copy of the agent’s cleaning requirements, if you have one
Keeping your paperwork
Keep the written guarantee, the invoice and the agent’s cleaning list together in one place, along with your entry and exit condition reports. Save your dated photos too. If the property manager raises an issue, this paperwork lets you tell us exactly what was flagged and when, and it keeps the 7-day window clear. Keep it until the bond has been fully settled.
