Moving out of a rental in Mount Cottrell (postcode 3024) 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 searching for end of lease cleaning Mount Cottrell, it is written with families in mind, because leaving a larger house means more rooms, more cupboards and more to check before the final inspection.
Covering Mount Cottrell
Mount Cottrell is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service across Melbourne. It is in Melbourne’s west, a semi-rural area with larger blocks, near Rockbank and Wyndham Vale. Homes here are mostly houses rather than apartments, so much of the work is house end of lease cleaning, often for families moving to something smaller. We are based in Bundoora and travel to you. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.
From quote to booking
The process is short, and you know the price before you commit.
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes are usually done in under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for the job, based on the property size and condition you describe.
- You book a time. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- After the clean, the 7-day re-clean guarantee applies in writing.
An end of lease cleaning quote is easiest to give when you can tell us the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether the carpets are in every room, and whether the oven has been cleaned recently.
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, so please call for a price on your home. A four-bedroom family house will not cost the same as a small unit.
People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning. Rather than rely on either label, we suggest comparing like with like:
- what is actually included (oven, windows, inside cupboards, garage)
- whether the re-clean promise is in writing and how many days it lasts
- the price per room for carpet steam cleaning
- whether the clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard
When you look at end of lease cleaning prices this way, a low headline figure can turn out to leave out work you would have to pay for later.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. The scope covers:
- inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- oven and cooktop
- range hood
- dishwasher
- bathroom and laundry descaling
- windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- garage sweep and cobweb removal
This list is the same whether you call it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. Larger houses usually have more wardrobes, built-in storage and a separate laundry, which is why the clean takes longer than it does for a small flat.
Deciding what to bundle
Most agents expect the carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. 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 starts from $8 per window. In a house with many windows, ask how the total adds up before you decide.
If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, tell us when you ask for the quote. The oven is already part of the standard clean, so the main extras to price are carpets and windows. Booking everything together also means one visit and one set of paperwork.
Picking a time
Timing depends on the diary. We cannot promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning, and we do not promise weekend end of lease cleaning either. If you have a tight handover, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is possible. The earlier you ask, the more choice there is.
If you are moving a household, aim to book the clean for after the removalists have gone and before the final inspection. That leaves the property empty for the cleaners, and it leaves a gap in case anything needs a second look.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few jobs are yours to do first, and they make the clean quicker and more thorough.
- Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, including from the garage and sheds.
- Empty the fridge and pantry, and switch the fridge off if you are asked to.
- Take down curtains if they are yours, and remove rubbish and any items left in cupboards.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Arrange access if you will not be there.
With a family move, the last few days are often the busiest. Finishing the packing a day early helps a lot.
After the clean
Walk through the property if you can, or at least check the areas an agent usually looks at: the oven, the bathrooms, the window tracks and the cupboards. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, contact us. Under our written 7-day re-clean guarantee, we return and fix it free of charge.
To be clear, this guarantee covers the cleaning. We do not guarantee a bond refund, because that decision belongs to your agent or landlord and can involve things other than cleaning.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We service Melbourne metro suburbs and focus on bond and end of lease work. Our end of lease cleaners follow the REIV exit condition standard, and carpets are done by truck-mounted steam extraction. For households that want a reliable professional bond cleaners service without chasing several providers, bundling everything in one booking is a practical option.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on the size and condition of the property. The main factors are:
- number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- how many rooms have carpet
- how many windows there are, and whether they have tracks and flyscreens
- the state of the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- pet hair, odours or heavy build-up from long-term tenancy
A home that has been lived in by a family for several years usually needs more time than one with a short tenancy. Telling us this up front keeps the quote firm. Apartment end of lease cleaning is generally quicker because there are fewer rooms and no garage, though we still need to know the details.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself can work if you have time, the right products and a clear idea of the standard your agent expects. The difficult parts are usually the oven, descaling in bathrooms and laundry, window tracks and carpet extraction, which needs equipment most households do not have.
Booking makes sense when you are also packing, organising schools or work and handing over keys on a fixed date. You pay for the clean, but you also get a written 7-day re-clean guarantee, which a DIY clean cannot offer. Some tenants split the job, doing the light tidying themselves and booking us for the heavy work.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, have these details ready:
- property address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- rooms with carpet, and any pet stains or odours
- approximate number of windows
- your handover or inspection date
- any items on your agent’s exit cleaning list
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your invoice, and keep the written re-clean guarantee somewhere easy to find. Hold on to your entry condition report and any exit checklist from the agent as well. If a cleaning issue is raised, send us the details within the 7 days so we can arrange the return visit. Having everything in one folder also helps if you need to discuss the bond with your agent or the relevant authority.
