Covering Menzies Creek
Menzies Creek is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in the Dandenong Ranges, east of the city, and the Puffing Billy Railway stops at its station.

- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone usually take under five minutes.

What the price starts from

You will see cheap end of lease cleaning in Menzies Creek advertised, and plenty of companies describe themselves as the best end of lease cleaning. Neither phrase tells you much. Compare what you can check: what is listed as included (oven, range hood, inside cupboards), whether the guarantee is in writing and how long it runs, and the price per room for carpets. A low headline number that leaves out the oven or has no written re-clean can cost more later.
What is included
The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard. Property managers usually work through the home room by room, comparing it with the entry condition report. Professional bond cleaners work to the same kind of list, so here is what we cover:
- Kitchen: inside cupboards and drawers, oven, cooktop, range hood and dishwasher. Baked-on oven residue and greasy range hoods are easy for an agent to spot.
- Bathrooms and laundry: descaling, because water marks and scale show up quickly under inspection lighting.
- Bedrooms and living areas: inside wardrobes, cupboards and drawers.
- Windows: windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens.
- Garage: sweep and cobweb removal.
Carpets are a separate item, covered next.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpet steam cleaning is truck-mounted hot water extraction, from $35/room. It includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. If your agent expects professional carpet cleaning, end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning can be arranged in one booking.
The clean already covers windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens, and the oven is part of the standard job. Window cleaning as a separate service is from $8/window. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, say so on the call and we will confirm what your quote includes.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise dates before you call. If you need same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Menzies Creek, ring 0401 398 705 as early as you can and ask what is open. Once you know your vacate date, call straight away, and aim to finish the clean before the final inspection with a little room for fixes.
Before the cleaner arrives
- Remove your belongings, food and rubbish, including from the garage. Cleaners cannot properly clean around packed boxes.
- Make sure power and water are on and that we can get inside.
- If the place backs onto bush, sweep the worst of the leaf litter from entries and decks.
- Note any problem areas, such as a stained oven or mouldy window tracks, so they can be allowed for in the quote.
After the clean
Walk through with your entry condition report and take dated photos of each room. If you booked carpet cleaning, remember the carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That guarantee is in writing. We do not guarantee that you will get your bond back, because that decision rests with the agent and landlord and can involve more than cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent. Treat any bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning claim with care and read exactly what it promises.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business servicing metro suburbs. Agents and landlords use different names for the same job: bond cleaning, vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. As end of lease cleaners, our aim is a property that meets the REIV exit condition standard at inspection.
What affects the price
End of lease cleaning prices depend on property size and condition, so the final quote is set after we hear the details. A tidy one-bedroom apartment and a family house with a heavily used kitchen will not cost the same. The main factors are:
- number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- condition of the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- how many rooms of carpet need steam cleaning
- number of windows, if you want window cleaning
- whether there is a garage to sweep
Ask for your end of lease cleaning quote to list what is included so you can compare it fairly.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning yourself saves money but costs time, equipment and products, and a property manager with a checklist will judge the result. It can work for a small, well-kept unit if you have the time and are comfortable tackling the oven and window tracks. Booking makes more sense when moving week is crowded, the kitchen has had heavy use, or your agent wants professional carpet cleaning. Weigh your own time against the price from $280 and the written 7-day re-clean guarantee, which a DIY clean does not have.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes a quote faster:
- the address and whether it is a house or apartment
- number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- how many rooms of carpet, and whether pets lived there
- number of windows, if you want window cleaning
- whether there is a garage
- your vacate date and inspection date
- known problem spots such as oven grease, mould or stains
- any cleaning list your agent has supplied
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written quote, invoice, written guarantee, photos and the agent’s cleaning list until your bond is released. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within the 7 days, send their message to us straight away along with your paperwork so we can arrange the return visit.
