Moving out of a rental in Malvern East (postcode 3145) 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. If you are arranging end of lease cleaning Malvern East, it is written for tenants, including students and housemates who are sorting out a shared move-out.
Covering Malvern East
Malvern East is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service, in the city’s south-east. We are based in Bundoora and travel to you, and you can book by phone or through the quote form.
The local rental stock is a mix of freestanding houses, units and low-rise apartment blocks. Dandenong Road and Waverley Road are well-known routes through the area, and Chadstone Shopping Centre is close by. A lot of renters here are students or young professionals in share houses, which tends to mean several people, several bedrooms and one inspection that everyone wants to pass. Carnegie, the neighbouring suburb, is covered in the same way.
From quote to booking
Getting a quote for end of lease cleaning is simple, and you can use either of these routes:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or fill in the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price based on the details you give us, 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.
- The clean is covered by our 7-day re-clean guarantee, which is provided in writing.
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. Please call for a price on your specific place.
If you are searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Malvern East, a starting figure alone will not tell you much. The useful comparison is what each price includes, whether the guarantee is in writing and what carpets and windows cost per room or per window.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For a vacate clean in a Malvern East house or apartment, the work 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
Whether you rent an apartment or a house, the same standard applies. Apartment end of lease cleaning is usually quicker because there is less floor area, but the kitchen and bathrooms still need the same detail. House end of lease cleaning often adds a garage and more windows.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenancy agreements ask for carpets to be professionally cleaned, so it is worth checking yours before you book. End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is available from $35 per room. We use truck-mounted hot water extraction, and spot and stain treatment is included. Pet odour treatment is available if needed. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, the oven is already part of the standard clean. Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are covered too, so ask us what the extra window service adds for your property.
Picking a time
Move-out dates tend to bunch around the end of a month or semester. If your lease ends on a Sunday, or your last housemate leaves a day before the inspection, the timing gets tight.
Availability depends on the diary. We cannot promise 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, ideally as soon as you know your vacate date, and we will tell you what is open.
Before the cleaner arrives
Cleaning works best in an empty property. For a move out clean, try to have these things done first:
- Remove all furniture, rubbish and personal belongings, including items in the garage.
- Empty the fridge and freezer, and switch them off if you are leaving them behind.
- Clear the wardrobes, cupboards and drawers so they can be cleaned inside.
- Take down any picture hooks or adhesive strips you put up, and check the walls.
- Make sure we can get in and that power and water are on.
After the clean
Once the clean is finished, do a walk-through against your entry condition report. If you booked carpets, give them a few hours to dry before anyone walks through with shoes on.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is the written guarantee. Please do not read it as a guarantee that you will get your bond back, because the bond decision rests with the agent or lessor and covers more than cleaning, such as damage and unpaid rent. Contact us as soon as you receive the agent’s feedback so we can arrange the return visit.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. We work with professional bond cleaners’ standards in mind: a defined checklist, the REIV exit condition standard and a guarantee we put in writing. For jobs in Malvern East you speak to us directly by phone or through the quote form.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. These are the main factors:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment, unit or house, and whether there is a garage
- The condition of the oven, rangehood, shower screens and tiles
- Number of windows and whether you add window cleaning
- Number of carpeted rooms, plus any pet odour treatment
A share house with five bedrooms and two bathrooms will cost more than a one-bedroom apartment. A kitchen that has not been deep cleaned all year will take longer than one that has been looked after.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Some tenants do the clean themselves, and that is a fair choice if you have the time, the right products and a clear idea of what the agent will check. The difficult jobs are usually the oven, descaling and windows with their tracks.
In a share house, the harder question is who does what. When four people leave on different days, the clean can fall between them. A single booking with a single price, split between housemates, is often easier than relying on everyone to turn up. If you are comparing options, do not just look for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning. Compare inclusions, whether the guarantee is in writing and the price per room for carpets. Then decide what suits your lease.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, have these details ready so the quote is accurate:
- Your address in Malvern East and whether it is an apartment, unit or house
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Which rooms are carpeted, and any pet odours
- Approximate number of windows
- Your vacate date and any inspection time the agent has given you
- Anything in your lease or agent’s cleaning list that you want us to look at
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, booking confirmation and written guarantee together with your entry condition report, exit inspection notes and any photos you take at handover. If an end of tenancy cleaning issue is raised, those records make it much easier to explain what was done and when. Ask the agent to put any cleaning issues in writing, and send them to us within the 7-day window.
