When you look at end of lease cleaning prices Fitzroy North wide, compare what each quote includes rather than the headline figure alone.
What is included
Our professional bond cleaners work 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 applies to bond cleaning Fitzroy North tenants book for both apartments and houses. It is the same checklist whether it is vacate cleaning for a single tenant or exit cleaning for a household of five.
Deciding what to bundle
Many agents expect carpets to be professionally cleaned, so end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is a common request. 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 from $8 per window. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, note that the oven is already part of the standard clean, so the extra decision is mainly about the glass. Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are in the standard list, but ask us what the window service adds for your property.
In a share house, it helps to count rooms and windows before you call. That way the quote reflects the real property and nobody is surprised on the day.
Picking a time
Dates depend on our diary, and we do not promise a particular day in advance. If your lease ends soon, call 0401 398 705 early so we can tell you what is open. The same applies if you are hoping for same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning, or weekend end of lease cleaning in Fitzroy North. We cannot guarantee any of them, but asking early gives you the best chance of finding a suitable slot.
Share houses often have staggered departures. Aim for the clean to happen after the last person has removed their belongings and before the final inspection.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean works best in an empty property. Remove all personal items, food, bins and furniture you are taking. Leftovers in the fridge, pantry or a bedroom corner slow things down and can leave areas uncleaned.
- Check that power and water are still connected.
- Make sure every housemate has collected their things from shared spaces, including the laundry and garage.
- Take down posters, hooks and anything fixed to walls that you are responsible for.
- Arrange access for us and tell us about any keys or lockboxes.
After the clean
Walk through with your entry condition report beside you if you can. 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 provided in writing.
It is a re-clean guarantee, not a promise about your bond. Bond decisions involve the whole condition of the property, including damage and wear, which cleaning cannot change. So we do not offer a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning service, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We handle bond and end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning for tenants across the metro area. Our focus is the checklist agents use at exit inspections, and we write our guarantee down so you can show it to anyone who asks.
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 apartment end of lease cleaning or house end of lease cleaning, as layout and floor area differ
- How much build-up there is in the oven, bathroom and laundry
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- The number of carpeted rooms, if you add steam cleaning
- Whether there is a garage or other outdoor storage space to clean
People search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning in Fitzroy North, but those words do not tell you much. Ask each business what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and what the price per room is for carpets. Those three comparisons are more useful than a label.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing it yourself costs less in cash, but it takes longer than most people expect. Ovens, range hoods, descaling and window tracks are where moving-out cleans usually fall short. In a share house, there is also the problem of who does what, and one person’s rushed effort can affect everyone’s bond.
A booked clean makes sense when time is short, when the oven and bathrooms need real work, or when you want a written guarantee behind the result. If you are handling a simple studio with little build-up, you may be comfortable doing most of it yourself. Either way, move out cleaning goes smoothly when it is planned a few days ahead.
A checklist to hand us
When you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the form, have these details ready:
- Property address and type (apartment, terrace or house)
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Which carpeted rooms need steam cleaning, and whether there are pets
- Approximate number of windows
- Your lease end date and the date of your final inspection
- Anything unusual, such as heavy oven build-up or a garage that needs attention
