Moving out of a rental in Harkness (postcode 3337) 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. Planning end of lease cleaning Harkness tenants need is easier if you treat the move-out week as a short timeline rather than a last-day scramble.
Covering Harkness
Harkness is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It is in Melbourne’s outer west, in the City of Melton, with Melton the nearby suburb most people will know. It is largely a residential suburb of houses, though the same process applies if you are leaving a unit.
We are based in Bundoora and travel to you. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form. Whether it is house end of lease cleaning Harkness or apartment end of lease cleaning Harkness, the steps below are the same.

- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.

What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a fixed price for every property. Call for a price and we will work out the figure for your home.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices, or searching for cheap end of lease cleaning, look past the headline number. Compare what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for add-ons such as carpets. The same applies if you are hunting for the best end of lease cleaning in Harkness: a checklist of inclusions tells you more than a label.
What is included
Our bond cleaning Harkness service is done to the REIV exit condition standard. It 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 scope agents tend to check closely during an exit inspection, which is why it is spelled out.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpet steam cleaning is a separate service. It uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35/room, with spot and stain treatment included. Pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning starts from $8/window. If your lease requires professional carpet cleaning, end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning in Harkness keeps everything on one booking. Many tenants also ask for end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, so mention both when you call.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, so there is no standing promise of a particular day. If you need same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Harkness, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and ask what is open.
The best timing is usually after your furniture and belongings are out, and before the final inspection. A clean done while boxes are still in the way is harder to do properly.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few jobs are yours, and doing them first helps. Remove all personal items, food, rubbish and anything left in cupboards, the garage or the yard. Empty the fridge and switch it off if you are leaving it empty. Make sure power and water are on, because we need both.
Tell us about anything unusual, such as a broken oven door or heavy mould. It affects how we quote and what we plan for.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the clean is finished, preferably in daylight. Check the areas an agent is likely to open: oven, wardrobes, window tracks, bathroom and laundry.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is the 7-day re-clean guarantee, and you receive it in writing. Contact us promptly, with the agent’s comments if you have them.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. Our work is end of tenancy cleaning for renters, done to the REIV exit condition standard. Most people use us as professional bond cleaners so they do not have to spend their last weekend scrubbing an oven. We service Melbourne metro suburbs, and the process is the same whether we come to Harkness or elsewhere.
What affects the price
Our final quote depends on property size and condition. A small, well-kept unit is a different job from a four-bedroom family house with a greasy oven. Things that move the quote include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Condition of the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- Number of windows and whether they have tracks and flyscreens
- Whether you add carpet steam cleaning or window cleaning
Describing the property honestly on the phone gives you a more reliable number.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing it yourself costs less in cash but more in time. Ovens, descaling and window tracks are slow, and agents tend to check them. Booking makes sense if you are working through the move, have a house with several bathrooms, or want a written guarantee behind the result.
Either way, vacate cleaning is easier when it is scheduled rather than squeezed in. Treat move out cleaning as one of the fixed items on your exit list, alongside returning keys and organising your utilities.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, have these ready:
- Address and property type (house, unit or apartment)
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Your lease end date and final inspection date, if known
- Whether you want carpet steam cleaning, pet odour treatment or window cleaning
- Any problem areas, such as a stained oven or mouldy bathroom
- How to access the property and when it will be empty
Keeping your paperwork
Keep the written guarantee, your quote and your receipt together with your lease documents and exit condition report. If the agent raises something after exit cleaning, you will have the details on hand and a clear 7-day window to act in. Photos of the finished property are also useful to keep.
