Moving out of a rental in Monbulk (postcode 3793) 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 comparing options for end of lease cleaning Monbulk, the sections below set out what you get and what to ask any provider.
Covering Monbulk
Monbulk sits in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne’s outer east, within the Shire of Yarra Ranges. It is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. We are based in Bundoora, and you can book by phone or through the quote form.
Monbulk is mostly detached houses, with some units and townhouses, so most jobs here are house end of lease cleaning. If you live in a unit or a small complex, apartment end of lease cleaning has its own logistics, covered further down. If you are moving between Monbulk and a neighbouring suburb such as Olinda or Mount Evelyn, the same process applies.
From quote to booking
An end of lease cleaning quote is free. You can use the free quote form or call. The steps are:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone take under five minutes.
- Or fill in the quote form online and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for the job, so you know the figure before you commit.
- You book a time. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days.
- We clean to the REIV exit condition standard, backed by our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting figure, not a fixed price for every property. Call 0401 398 705 for a price based on your place.
If you have been searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Monbulk, the starting figure is the only one we publish for the main clean. Carpet and window prices are listed separately below. Anyone quoting a single flat number without seeing the size of the property deserves a follow-up question.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. 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 list to hold up against any other quote. Our professional bond cleaners work through it room by room, so a vacate clean or exit clean is not a general tidy but a check against what an agent will inspect.
Deciding what to bundle
Most leases require carpets to be professionally cleaned, and agents often ask for receipts or evidence. 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.
Window cleaning is from $8 per window. If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, ask for them to be quoted together so you see one clear total. The oven is already part of the main clean, and the window tracks and sills are too.
When you compare, look at the price per room for carpets and the price per window, not only the headline figure.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning. If your handover date is close or falls on a weekend, call 0401 398 705 early and we will tell you what the diary allows.
A sensible order is to have the cleaning finished after your belongings are out and before the final inspection. Leave some margin so that if the agent raises something, there is time to deal with it.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few things make the job smoother:
- Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, including from cupboards and the garage.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Arrange access: keys, lockbox codes or a time when someone can let us in.
- Tell us about pets, as pet odour in carpets can be treated.
If you are in an apartment or a unit in a complex, check building rules first. Many buildings require a booking for the lift or loading area, and some need an access fob or a notice to the building manager. Let us know on the call about parking, entry and any lift booking window. Truck-mounted carpet cleaning runs from a vehicle, so we need to know where it can park and how to reach your door. On a Monbulk block with a long driveway or a steep access, mention that as well.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the cleaning is finished, if you can. Check the oven, the bathroom, the windows and the carpets. Keep carpet traffic to a minimum for the first few hours while they dry.
Our 7-day re-clean guarantee is in writing. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is the guarantee we offer. We do not offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning, because the bond decision belongs to the owner or agent and covers more than cleaning, such as damage and unpaid rent. What we can do is stand behind the clean.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We service Melbourne metro suburbs, including Monbulk, and focus on bond and end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning. You can reach us on 0401 398 705, or use the quote form if you prefer to write.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on the size and condition of the property. In practice that means:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is a house or an apartment, and how many levels there are
- How much build-up there is in the oven, bathrooms and window tracks
- The number of windows and carpeted rooms
- Add-ons such as pet odour treatment
A house in the hills with a garage, several windows and sliding doors will usually take longer than a one-bedroom unit. That is why we ask a few questions before giving a firm price.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Some tenants clean the place themselves, and that is a reasonable choice if you have time and the right tools. The parts that catch people out are usually the oven, descaling in the bathroom and laundry, window tracks, and carpets, where a hired machine often leaves them damp or marked.
Booking exit cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning makes sense if you are short on time, moving a distance or want the clean matched to the REIV standard. If you search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning in Monbulk, we would suggest comparing instead: what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. Those three things tell you more than a label does.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, have these ready so the quote is accurate:
- Address, and whether it is a house, unit or apartment
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms and number of windows
- Whether you want carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning included
- Any pets, and any known stains or heavy build-up
- Your handover date and inspection date, if you know them
- Building access details, including lift booking, fob or parking
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, your booking confirmation, the written 7-day re-clean guarantee and any carpet cleaning receipt. Hold on to your entry condition report as well, so you can compare it with the property on exit. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue, contact us on 0401 398 705 within the 7 days so we can arrange the return visit.
