What the price starts from

People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning Gowanbrae, and we understand why when you are paying rent and moving costs at the same time. We would rather you compare quotes on the same basis than on the headline number. Check what each one includes (ovens, windows and tracks, inside cupboards), whether the guarantee is in writing, and what carpet cleaning costs per room. That comparison tells you more than any single figure, and it is the honest way to weigh up end of lease cleaning prices Gowanbrae agents and tenants see advertised.
What is included
Our exit cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For a vacate cleaning Gowanbrae property, 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 work property managers tend to check closely at the final inspection. It is also the work that takes tenants the longest to do themselves, particularly the oven and the descaling.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpet is where pets leave their mark. Hair works into the pile, and accidents, drool and muddy paws leave stains and odours that vacuuming will not shift. If the agent’s entry condition report notes clean carpet, expect it to be looked at on exit.
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 if your animal has been indoors. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Gowanbrae, tell us how many carpeted rooms there are and where the pet spent most of its time. We cannot promise that every stain or odour will lift, but we will treat each one and tell you what to expect.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. The standard clean already covers window tracks, sills and flyscreens, so ask on the call how glass cleaning fits your property. For end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning Gowanbrae homes with many panes, listing the windows early helps us quote accurately.
Picking a time
Your lease end date and your key handover time set the deadline, and the diary decides what is possible. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning Gowanbrae or last minute end of lease cleaning Gowanbrae slots. Availability depends on the bookings already in the diary, so call 0401 398 705 as early as you can once you know your date.
The same applies if you are hoping for weekend end of lease cleaning Gowanbrae. Ask when you call, and we will tell you what is open. A realistic order is to clean after your furniture is out and before the final inspection, with the carpets done last so nothing is walked across them.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes the clean more effective, especially with pets in the picture:
- Remove your belongings, rubbish and anything left in cupboards, the garage and the laundry.
- Wash pet bedding and remove pet toys, bowls and litter trays.
- Pick up any pet waste from patios or entry areas so it is not tracked inside.
- Note the carpet spots you already know about, and tell us if there is an odour in a particular room.
- Make sure the property has power and water connected on the day.
- Arrange for pets to be elsewhere, so they are not in a freshly cleaned home.
After the clean
Walk through the property with your entry condition report in hand, room by room. Keep pets and shoes off the carpets until they have dried, which is usually a few hours. Close the windows you have opened and leave the keys as your agent has instructed.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our guarantee, and we give it to you in writing. You will sometimes see a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning Gowanbrae offer elsewhere, but we do not guarantee the outcome of your bond. Decisions about the bond sit with the agent and the lessor, and the 7-day re-clean guarantee is the commitment we make.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business that services metro suburbs, including Gowanbrae.

What affects the price
The starting price of $280 moves with the property. These are the main factors:
- Property size. More bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas mean more time.
- Condition. Built-up grease in an oven or range hood, heavy limescale, or marks on walls and fittings add work.
- Carpeted rooms. Carpet steam cleaning is priced from $35 per room, so the number of rooms matters.
- Pets. Odour treatment for pet areas is available, and we will discuss it when we quote.
- Windows. Window cleaning is from $8 per window, so a house with many windows will cost more than a small unit.
We cannot responsibly quote a total without these details, which is why we ask you to call or use the form.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Some tenants clean for themselves and do it well. Doing so makes sense when the property is small, the oven is in decent shape and you have a clear weekend. Hiring end of tenancy cleaning makes more sense when you are juggling a move, when the oven and bathrooms need descaling, or when carpets need extracting and you do not have the equipment. Hot water extraction machines hired from a hardware store are not the same as truck-mounted equipment, and pet odour is difficult to deal with using a hired machine.
Also weigh the risk. If a DIY clean fails inspection, you are cleaning again against a deadline. With a booked clean, the 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing covers cleaning issues raised by the property manager.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the quote faster and more accurate:
- Your address in Gowanbrae and whether it is a house, townhouse or apartment
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Which rooms are carpeted
- Number of windows, and whether there are screens and tracks to be cleaned
- Whether pets lived inside and any areas with odour or stains
- The state of the oven and range hood
- Your lease end date and the time of the final inspection, if you know it

Hold on to the entry condition report as well, along with your own dated photos of the property after the clean. If the agent raises a cleaning point, send us the details promptly.
