Moving out of a rental in Montrose (postcode 3765) 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 Montrose, the sections below follow a move-out week in order, from the first phone call to handing back the keys.
Covering Montrose
Montrose is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in Melbourne’s outer east at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, with its main shops along Mount Dandenong Road and Kilsyth and Mooroolbark close by. The housing is largely detached houses, with some units and townhouses, so house end of lease cleaning is the most common job in the area, although apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same process.
We are based in Bundoora and travel to you. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through our free quote form.
From quote to booking
Start with your handover date and work backwards. The process is short:
- Call 0401 398 705. A quote over the phone usually takes under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property.
- You book the clean. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The work is backed by our 7-day re-clean guarantee, which we give you in writing.
If you are collecting an end of lease cleaning quote from more than one business, ask each of them to list the inclusions in writing so the quotes can be compared fairly.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point rather than a flat rate, so call 0401 398 705 for a price on your property.
When you look at end of lease cleaning prices in Montrose, the headline number only tells you part of the story. People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning, and we do not use either label about ourselves. A more useful approach is to compare what each quote includes, whether the re-clean guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. Whether you call it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning or move out cleaning, 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
Compare this list with the exit requirements your agent has given you. Anything that is missing is worth raising when you call.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants find that the agent’s list includes carpets and glass as well as the general clean, so it helps to decide this before you book.
- Carpets: steam cleaning from $35 per room, using truck-mounted hot water extraction. It includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
- Windows: window cleaning from $8 per window.
Asking for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning on the same booking keeps everything on one visit and one quote. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, note that the oven is already part of the standard clean. When you call, confirm which window work is in the base clean and which is priced per window for your property.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, so the safest step is to call 0401 398 705 as early as you can once you know your move-out date. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning, and the same applies to weekend end of lease cleaning. If you need a particular day, ask about it when you call and we will tell you what the diary allows.
A sensible order for the week is:
- Move furniture and belongings out first.
- Book the clean for after the property is empty.
- Have carpets done as part of the same job, so nobody walks over them afterwards.
- Leave a gap before your inspection so you can check the result.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few small jobs on your side make the clean more effective:
- Remove all personal items, rubbish and anything left in cupboards, the garage and outdoor areas.
- Empty and defrost the fridge and freezer if they are staying.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Arrange access, and tell us about any pets or alarm codes.
- Note any marks or damage that were already there when you moved in.
Cleaning will not repair damage, so deal with holes, broken fittings and similar items separately.
After the clean
Walk through the property with your agent’s list and take dated photos of each room, including the oven, bathrooms and wardrobes. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge.
You may see bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning advertised elsewhere. Our guarantee is the 7-day re-clean, and we do not promise a particular bond result. The decision rests with the agent and landlord, and it can involve matters other than cleaning.

What affects the price
The final quote depends on the size and condition of the property. These are the main factors:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is a unit, townhouse or house
- How much build-up there is in the oven, bathrooms and laundry
- The number of carpeted rooms
- The number of windows
- Pet odour in carpets
- The size and condition of the garage
A well-kept two-bedroom unit and a family home with a heavily used kitchen will not be priced the same, which is why we ask you to call for a quote.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, but it takes time in a week when you are already packing, handing back keys and sorting utilities. Ovens, descaling, tracks and carpets are the jobs that most often take longer than expected, and carpets in particular need equipment you may not have.
Booking suits you if your time is short or the property has been lived in for a long while. Doing it yourself suits a small, lightly used place. Some tenants split the work, doing the general tidy themselves and booking the oven, carpets and windows. Ask us what is possible when you call.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the quote quicker, whether you phone or use the free quote form:
- The property address and type (house, unit or townhouse)
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and the number of carpeted rooms
- The approximate number of windows
- Any pets, and whether there is pet odour in the carpets
- Your handover or inspection date
- A copy of the agent’s cleaning requirements, if you have one
- How we will get access
Keeping your paperwork
Keep everything in one folder until the bond is finalised: our quote, the written 7-day re-clean guarantee, your receipt, the entry condition report, your dated photos and any emails from the agent. If a cleaning issue comes up, having these on hand lets you tell us exactly what was raised and when.
