Moving out of a rental in Gardenvale (postcode 3185) 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 want end of lease cleaning Gardenvale tenants can arrange by phone or online, the sections below follow the order most people ask in.
Covering Gardenvale
Gardenvale is a small bayside suburb with its own station on the Sandringham line, close to Elsternwick and Brighton. The housing is a mix of older houses and apartment buildings. A move-out here can therefore mean either house end of lease cleaning or apartment end of lease cleaning, and we quote for both.
Gardenvale is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. We are based in Bundoora and travel to you. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the quote form.
Some homes in the area are older, period-style houses. Those properties have details that newer places do not, and we cover them further down.
From quote to booking
You can get an end of lease cleaning quote by phone or through the free quote form. The process runs like this:
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price based on what you tell us about the property.
- You choose a date and we book it in. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days.
- We confirm the 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
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. The final quote depends on the size and condition of the place, so please call for a price.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices in Gardenvale, look past the headline number. Ask what each quote includes, whether the guarantee is in writing, and what carpets cost per room. The same applies if you search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning. We do not rank ourselves against other businesses. A low price that leaves out the oven, or a guarantee that is only spoken, can cost you more later.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For a vacate clean, the job 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 whether you are leaving a one-bedroom apartment or a larger house. The size of the property affects the time and the quote, not the standard.
Deciding what to bundle
Many agents expect carpets to be professionally cleaned at exit, so end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is a common combination. Our carpet steam cleaning is truck-mounted hot water extraction, from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if an animal has lived in the property. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
The oven is already part of the clean, so end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning needs only one decision from you. The clean covers window tracks, sills and flyscreens. If you also want the glass done as its own service, window cleaning is from $8 per window. Mention it when you call so the quote is accurate. Older houses often have more windows than you expect, so count them before you ring.
Picking a time
Dates depend 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 in Gardenvale. Whether any of them is possible depends on what is already booked.
If your key handover is close, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can. We can then tell you what the diary allows. Working backwards from your inspection date also helps. Carpets are best done after the rest of the clean, and they need a few hours to dry.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes the clean more effective:
- Remove all your belongings, including items in the garage, laundry and wardrobes.
- Empty the fridge and freezer if they are part of the tenancy and you are leaving them.
- Take down curtains you own and remove nails or hooks you added.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Tell us about pets, damage, mould or anything unusual.
In an older home, check the details that collect dust and grime. Look at picture rails, deep window sills, timber sash windows and their tracks, and original bathroom tiles with aged grout. Point them out when you call so the quote reflects the real condition. Do not force stuck windows or scrub delicate finishes such as leadlight. Damage you cause is a separate problem from dirt.
After the clean
Once the clean is done, do your own walk-through with your entry condition report beside you. Take dated photos of each room, the oven, the bathroom and the garage.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our 7-day re-clean guarantee, and we give it in writing. Contact us as soon as you receive the agent’s comments, and pass on exactly what they listed.
About us
We are a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora, and we service metro suburbs including Gardenvale. Our work is end of tenancy cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning for people leaving rentals.
Tenants often ask for professional bond cleaners, and the practical test is simple. Is the scope clear, is the standard named, and is the guarantee written down? We state all three on our site, and you can phone 0401 398 705 to check anything before you commit.
What affects the price
The starting price of $280 moves with the property. These are the main factors:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment or a house, and how many levels it has
- The condition of the oven, bathrooms and windows
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- The number of carpeted rooms, if you add steam cleaning
- Pet odour treatment, if it is needed
- Extra detail in older homes, such as many small window panes or heavy build-up in original fittings
We do not guess at these. We price from what you tell us, which is why a few honest details on the phone give you a firmer quote.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing your own move out cleaning is possible, and some tenants do it well. The catch is that agents inspect against a detailed checklist. Ovens, range hoods, window tracks and bathroom scale are the items most often raised. A full clean also takes a long time when you are already packing and handing back keys.
Booking a cleaner is worth considering if you are short of time, if the property is large, or if it has older fittings that need patient work. If you clean it yourself, use the list above as your guide. Remember that the re-clean guarantee only applies when we do the work.
A checklist to hand us
Have these details ready when you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form:
- The Gardenvale street address and whether it is an apartment or a house
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Which rooms are carpeted
- Approximate number of windows
- Whether you have pets
- Your key handover or inspection date
- Any agent checklist, or specific items the agent has flagged
- Anything you know is in poor condition, such as the oven or shower
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, booking confirmation, invoice and written guarantee together. Add your entry condition report, the agent’s exit requirements and your dated photos. If a dispute about cleaning comes up, those documents show what was agreed and what condition the property was in.
Be clear about what the guarantee covers. Our guarantee is the 7-day re-clean. We do not promise a particular bond outcome, because that decision belongs to the agent or landlord and, where needed, the tenancy authority.
