Moving out of a rental in Kalorama (postcode 3766) 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 for end of lease cleaning Kalorama renters, using what we state on our site.
Covering Kalorama
Kalorama is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in Melbourne’s outer east, in the Dandenong Ranges, near Mount Dandenong and Olinda.

What the price starts from
Our Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a fixed rate for every home, so call for a price on your property.
People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning, or for the best end of lease cleaning, and then compare headline numbers. A low price means little unless you know what it covers. When you compare end of lease cleaning prices in Kalorama, check these things:
- Whether the oven, range hood, windows and tracks are included or charged extra.
- Whether the standard is the REIV exit condition standard.
- Whether a re-clean guarantee is in writing, and for how long.
- The price per room if carpets are involved.
What is included
Our vacate 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 list most exit cleaning inspections focus on, so it is worth checking any other quote against it line by line.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenancy agreements ask for carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if an animal lived in the property. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. When you ask about end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, mention how many windows you have. We can then explain how window cleaning fits with the windows, tracks and sills already in the main clean.
If your lease calls for it, end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning in Kalorama can be quoted together, so you are dealing with one booking instead of two.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we cannot promise a particular day. If you are hoping for 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 ask what is open. The sooner you know your handover date, the more choice you tend to have.
A sensible order is to book the clean after your belongings are out and before your final inspection. If carpets are being steam cleaned, ask which should come first so furniture or removalists do not undo the work.
Before the cleaner arrives
Apartment end of lease cleaning has a few extra steps that a house does not. Some buildings require you to book the lift, or a loading area, for tradespeople. Others need the owners corporation or building manager to approve the visit. Sort this out early.
- Remove all your belongings, including items in the garage, balcony and storage cage.
- Leave power and water connected so appliances can be cleaned properly.
- Arrange keys, fobs or door codes, and tell us about any intercom or visitor parking.
- Book the lift or building access if your building asks for it.
- Empty the fridge and wipe out food waste from bins.
For a house in or around Kalorama, check that we can reach the front door, and let us know about any steep driveway or gate.
After the clean
Do a walk-through before your inspection. Open the cupboards, look at the oven and check the bathroom. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That guarantee is in writing.
You may see phrases such as bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning. We do not guarantee that your bond will be returned, because that decision sits with the owner, the agent and the tenancy rules. What we do guarantee is the 7-day re-clean.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. Our end of lease cleaners work across Melbourne metro suburbs, including Kalorama.

What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment or a house, and how many levels
- The state of the oven, shower screens and tracks
- How many carpeted rooms need steam cleaning
- How many windows you want cleaned
- Any pet odour treatment
A tidy one-bedroom unit and a lived-in family house will not cost the same, which is why we quote on the specifics.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, and some tenants are happy to do it. The trade-off is time and finish. Descaling bathrooms, degreasing the oven and range hood, and wiping window tracks are the jobs that most often draw comments at inspection. If you have already packed, moved furniture and handed back keys elsewhere, those last tasks can be hard to fit in.
Booking a clean makes sense when your schedule is tight, the oven is heavily used, or you want the written re-clean guarantee behind the work. It may also suit you if you rent a larger house in the hills and the cleaning would take a full day.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, these details help us give you a firm price:
- Apartment, unit or house, and the address
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Which rooms are carpeted, and whether pets lived there
- Approximate number of windows
- Your move-out and inspection dates
- Building access rules, including lift booking, if they apply
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, your quote and your receipt with your tenancy documents. Take dated photos of the finished rooms if you can. If the agent raises a cleaning issue in the first 7 days, send us the details straight away so we can arrange the return visit.
