Moving out of a rental in Keilor East (postcode 3033) 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 Keilor East tenants, using what we state on our site.
Covering Keilor East
Keilor East is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service across Melbourne. We are based in Bundoora, in the city’s north, and we travel to you. You can book by phone or through the quote form.
The suburb is mostly detached houses, with some units and townhouses mixed in, and the Maribyrnong River and its parkland sit along its edge. That mix means we see both house end of lease cleaning and apartment end of lease cleaning in Keilor East. The job is the same in principle, but a four-bedroom house with a garage is a different size from a one-bedroom unit, and the quote reflects that. If you are moving to Avondale Heights or Essendon, or anywhere else in Melbourne, we still need the Keilor East property cleaned to the exit standard before you hand back the keys.
From quote to booking
Getting an end of lease cleaning quote is meant to be quick, because most people leaving a rental are also packing, redirecting mail and arranging a truck. The process looks like this:
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for the property, based on what you tell us about its size and condition.
- You book a time. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The clean is covered by our 7-day re-clean guarantee, which we provide in writing.
If your dates are tight, phone rather than use the form. It is the faster way to find out what the diary looks like.
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. Anyone searching for cheap end of lease cleaning in Keilor East will see a wide spread of end of lease cleaning prices, so a low headline number only helps if you know what it includes.
Call 0401 398 705 for a price on your property. We will ask about the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether it is a house or a unit, and the current state of the kitchen, bathrooms and carpets.
What is included
Our vacate cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the standard most Victorian agents and property managers inspect against. 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 detail-heavy work that tenants tend to run out of time for, particularly the oven, the shower screens and the window tracks.
Deciding what to bundle
Most agents expect the carpets to be professionally cleaned as well, so many tenants ask about end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning. 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. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, which helps when you still have boxes to carry out.
Windows can be added from $8 per window. If your place has a lot of glass, end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning is worth pricing as a package, and the quote will show each part. Say what you want when you call and we will price it together.
Picking a time
Moving between suburbs on a tight timeline is the most common squeeze we hear about. The lease ends on a set date, the new place is ready on another, and the clean has to fit between the two.
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise a particular day in advance. People often ask for same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Keilor East. We can only say whether a slot exists once we check the diary, so the best step is to call 0401 398 705 early, ideally as soon as you know your move-out date.
A useful order of events is to confirm the clean date first, then book the removalist around it. Cleaning goes more smoothly once the property is empty.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation helps. The cleaners work best in an empty property, so try to have most of your belongings out first.
- Remove all personal items from cupboards, drawers, wardrobes and the garage.
- Empty the fridge and freezer if they belong to you, and take out your rubbish.
- Make sure the cleaners can get inside, and that power and water are still connected.
- Tell us about marks, stains or pet issues when you get your quote.
- Take photos of the property as you leave it, for your own records.
If you are moving across suburbs in stages, finish the Keilor East pack-out before the clean rather than leaving a few boxes behind. Stray items slow the job.
After the clean
Walk through with your exit condition report in hand if you can. Check the oven, bathrooms, windows and cupboards against the list.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. This is our written 7-day re-clean guarantee. It is not a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning, since the bond decision belongs to your agent or the landlord and can involve things beyond cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent. What the guarantee gives you is a written commitment that cleaning problems will be fixed without a second bill.
Contact us promptly with the specific items the agent has listed, so we can arrange the return visit.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We service Melbourne metro suburbs and focus on bond, exit and move out cleaning. When people look for professional bond cleaners, they are really asking whether the work will pass the agent’s inspection. That is why we clean to the REIV exit condition standard and put the re-clean guarantee in writing.
Many tenants search for the best end of lease cleaning in Keilor East. We do not rank ourselves, and we would rather you compare the things that matter: what is included, whether the guarantee is written down, and the price per room for carpets.
What affects the price
The starting price is $280, and your final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is a house or an apartment, and whether there is a garage
- How heavily used the oven, shower screens and floors are
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- The number of carpeted rooms, and any pet odour treatment
A tidy two-bedroom unit and a lived-in family house will not be priced the same, and we would rather say so up front.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money and suits some tenants, especially in a small unit with plenty of time. The risk is that end of tenancy cleaning is judged against a detailed standard, and the items that get missed are usually the awkward ones: oven interiors, range hood filters, window tracks and limescale.
Booking makes more sense when your timeline is tight, when you are juggling two addresses, or when you have not got the equipment for carpet extraction. Weigh the cost of your own time against the quote, and remember a failed inspection can mean another trip back to the old address.
A checklist to hand us
Have these details ready when you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form:
- The Keilor East address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and any garage
- Your lease end date and the date you need the keys returned
- Number of carpeted rooms and any pet odours
- Approximate number of windows
- Anything the agent has flagged previously
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, your quote and your exit condition report together. Add your photos and the date of the clean. If the agent raises something afterwards, having these on hand lets you pass specific items to us quickly, and it keeps the 7-day window easy to manage.
