People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning Merricks North. We do not describe ourselves as the cheapest, and a low headline figure does not tell you much on its own. A fairer comparison looks at three things:
- What is actually included, such as oven, range hood, windows and tracks.
- Whether the re-clean guarantee is in writing and how many days it covers.
- The price per room if carpet cleaning is added.
When you compare end of lease cleaning prices Merricks North, put those three items side by side.
What is included
Our bond cleaning Merricks North service follows the REIV exit condition standard. The clean covers:
- Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven
- Cooktop
- Range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
This is the kind of detail property managers check at exit inspections. Most tenants find the oven, the bathroom scale and the window tracks take the longest to get right themselves.
Deciding what to bundle
Two add-ons come up most often when people are leaving a rental.
Carpets. Carpet steam cleaning is from $35 per room. We use truck-mounted hot water extraction, and the price includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if an animal has lived in the home. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, which matters if you are carrying boxes out afterwards. Many agents ask for carpets to be professionally cleaned, so end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Merricks North is a common combination. Check your lease and the agent’s cleaning list.
Windows. Window cleaning is from $8 per window. The standard clean already covers windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens. If you want window cleaning priced as its own line, mention it when you ask for end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning Merricks North, so the quote is clear about what is covered. The oven is part of the standard clean.
Count your rooms and windows before you call. It makes the quote quicker and more accurate.
Picking a time
Moving between suburbs usually means the dates are fixed by someone else, such as the landlord, the new agent or the removalist. Our availability depends on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning Merricks North, last minute end of lease cleaning Merricks North or weekend end of lease cleaning Merricks North. If you need any of those, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
A few things help the timing:
- Ask for the clean once the property is empty or close to it.
- Leave a gap before your final inspection in case anything needs another look.
- If carpets are being steam cleaned, book that for after the furniture has gone.
Before the cleaner arrives
A bit of preparation makes the clean more effective. Before the day:
- Remove personal belongings, rubbish and food from cupboards, the fridge and the garage.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Arrange access, especially if you have already handed in keys or will be at the new place.
- Tell us about pets, past spills or problem areas.
- Take down curtains or items you plan to wash yourself.
Empty rooms are faster and easier to clean thoroughly than rooms with boxes stacked in them.
After the clean
Walk through the property if you can, or ask for photos. Compare what you see with the agent’s list and your entry condition report. Many tenants find it useful to take dated photos of each room before handing back the keys.
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 offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning Merricks North. The bond decision belongs to your landlord or agent, and it can involve things outside cleaning, such as repairs or unpaid rent. What we stand behind is the re-clean.

What affects the price

- The number of carpeted rooms, at $35 per room if you add steam cleaning.
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning at $8 per window.
- Whether pet odour treatment is needed.
- Whether there is a garage or other outdoor-adjacent areas to cover.

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, equipment and risk. Scrubbing an oven, descaling a shower screen and cleaning window tracks can take most of a day, which is hard to find when you are also packing and moving into a new place.
