If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices in Laburnum, look past the headline figure. Searching for cheap end of lease cleaning Laburnum will turn up low numbers, but they tell you little on their own. Ask what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and what carpet work costs per room.
What is included
The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the checklist most agents work from at the final inspection. 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 of our vacate cleaning, so you are not paying separately for the oven or the bathrooms. Carpets are a separate service, covered below.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are where pets leave their mark, and they are often what an agent looks at first. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. That price includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if your carpets need it, so mention any pet accidents when you call. How well an odour responds depends on the carpet and how long it has been there, and we would rather tell you that upfront than promise too much.
Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. Many tenants ask for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning so the whole property is handled in one booking.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. When you ask about end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, the oven is already part of the main clean. The windows are worth raising when you call, so we can explain how the glass sits alongside the tracks, sills and flyscreens in the main clean.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise a particular day in advance. If your handover is close, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is open.
People often search for same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Laburnum. We cannot promise any of these without checking the diary first. Booking early gives you the most choice. A sensible plan is to lock in the clean once you know your move-out date, and to fit the carpet work around the main clean. Ask us which order suits your property.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes move out cleaning go more smoothly, especially in a home with pets.
- Remove your belongings, including food from the fridge and pantry, and clear the wardrobes and garage.
- Vacuum up loose pet hair if you can, and take pet bowls, beds and litter trays out.
- Note where any pet accidents or carpet stains are, and tell us about them.
- Arrange for the pets to be elsewhere on the day.
- Make sure access is sorted, with a key, lockbox or you at the door.
After the clean
If carpets were steam cleaned, keep pets and heavy foot traffic off them until they are dry. This is usually within a few hours. Then do a walk-through of the property, ideally before the agent does, and look at the oven, bathrooms and carpets in good light.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. This is our 7-day re-clean guarantee, and you get it in writing. You may see bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning offered elsewhere. Ours is not a promise about your bond, because that decision rests with the agent or landlord. Our guarantee is the written re-clean.

What affects the price
Two properties in the same street can be quoted differently. The main factors are:
- Size of the property, including bedrooms and bathrooms
- Condition, such as built-up grease in the oven or heavy limescale
- Whether it is a house or an apartment
- Number of carpeted rooms
- Pet odour or stains that need extra treatment
- Number of windows, if you add window cleaning
When people ask for the best end of lease cleaning in Laburnum, we suggest comparing like with like. Put the inclusions, the written guarantee and the price per room side by side, rather than judging on a label.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money if you have the time, a good oven cleaner and a carpet cleaning machine. The risk is that exit cleaning is judged against a detailed checklist, and the oven, tracks and descaling take longer than most people expect. Hired machines also rarely match truck-mounted extraction, and pet odour can be hard to shift without proper equipment.
Booking end of lease cleaners makes sense when you are also packing, moving and handing over keys in the same week. It helps most when the carpets have pet history. If you are unsure, ask for a quote and compare it with your own time and costs.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the call or form quicker and the quote more accurate:
- Property address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Which rooms are carpeted
- Pets, and where any accidents or stains are
- Roughly how many windows you want cleaned
- Whether there is a garage
- Your lease end date and any inspection date
- Any cleaning list the agent has given you

If the agent raises a cleaning point during end of tenancy cleaning checks, you will have everything on hand and can contact us quickly within the 7 days.
