Moving out of a rental in Iona (postcode 3815) 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. It is written around the move-out week, because end of lease cleaning Iona tenants arrange is far less stressful when it is part of a plan rather than a scramble at the end.
Covering Iona
Iona is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It is a semi-rural locality in Melbourne’s south-east, in Cardinia Shire, close to Pakenham and Beaconsfield. Housing is mostly houses on larger blocks rather than apartment buildings, so house end of lease cleaning is more likely here than apartment end of lease cleaning. The same checklist applies to both.
We are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.
From quote to booking
- 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 for the job, so you know the figure before you commit.
- You book a date. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- You receive our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
If you want an end of lease cleaning quote that you can compare with others, ask for the inclusions to be listed along with the price.
What the price starts from
Our Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. Call 0401 398 705 for a price based on your home.
People searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Iona often find a wide spread of figures online. A number on its own tells you little, so the sections below explain what to line up next to it.
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 scope that professional bond cleaners work through for vacate cleaning, and it follows the areas property managers usually check at an exit inspection.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpet and window glass are often the items that decide whether an inspection goes smoothly, so decide early whether to add them.
- Carpet steam cleaning is from $35 per room. We use truck-mounted hot water extraction, and the price includes spot and stain treatment. 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 carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, say so when you call so it is all on one quote. The oven is part of the standard clean. When you ask about windows, check how many are being counted and what the quote includes for glass, tracks and sills.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise dates we have not confirmed. If you need same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
A useful way to plan the move-out week:
- Ring for a quote as soon as you know your move-out date.
- Aim to book the clean for after the furniture and boxes are out, and before your final inspection.
- If you are adding carpet steam cleaning, ask when it will be done relative to the rest of the clean so the carpets are not walked on while damp.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean works best in an empty or nearly empty home. Move your belongings out first, because cleaners cannot do the insides of cupboards or the floors under boxes. Take down anything on the walls you plan to remove and throw out food and rubbish.
Also:
- Read your tenancy agreement and any condition report you were given at move-in.
- Make a note of marks or damage that cleaning will not fix, such as worn paint or scratched floors, and mention it when you call.
- Arrange access for the day, whether that is a key handover or a lockbox.
- Check that the property is not still full of your things, because that affects the quote and the finished result.
After the clean
Walk through the property when the work is finished, or look over it before the inspection. Check the oven, the bathroom, the window tracks and the wardrobes first, since these are the spots agents often open and look into.
Our 7-day re-clean guarantee is in writing. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. Contact us on 0401 398 705 with what the agent raised and we will arrange the return visit. This is a guarantee about the cleaning. It is not a guarantee that your bond will be returned, as that decision rests with the landlord, the agent and the tenancy process. If you see bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning offered elsewhere, read the wording closely.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We clean rentals across the metro area, covering bond cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning. Our exit cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard, and the guarantee is put in writing.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- How much grease is built up in the oven, cooktop and range hood
- Limescale in the bathroom and laundry
- The number of windows and the state of the tracks
- The number of carpeted rooms and whether there are stains or pet odour
- Whether the garage needs more than a sweep
If you are hunting for cheap end of lease cleaning, compare the same things on every quote: what is included, whether the guarantee is written down, and the price per room for carpets. A low figure that leaves out the oven or the windows can cost more once you add them back.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves the fee, but it takes time during the busiest week of a move. Oven degreasing, descaling and window tracks are slow jobs, and you also need the equipment and a way to carry out the carpet work. Booking makes sense when you are working, shifting furniture, handing back keys on a deadline, or simply do not want the inspection to hinge on your own cleaning.
When people search for the best end of lease cleaning in Iona, the useful comparison is the same: what the clean covers, whether you get a written guarantee, what carpets cost per room, and whether the quote is firm. Use those points to choose between providers, ours included.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the phone quote quicker:
- Your address in Iona and whether it is a house or an apartment
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms, and any pet odour or stains
- Roughly how many windows you want cleaned
- Your move-out date and the date of your final inspection
- How we will get access to the property
Keeping your paperwork
Keep everything in one place until your bond has been dealt with:
- Our written 7-day re-clean guarantee
- Your quote and booking details
- Your move-in condition report
- Dated photos of each room after the clean
- Any emails from the property manager about the inspection
If the agent raises a cleaning issue, having these to hand makes it simple to tell us exactly what was flagged.
