Moving out of a rental in Oakleigh East (postcode 3166) 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, with a focus on end of lease cleaning Oakleigh East tenants arrange for older houses as well as newer units.
Covering Oakleigh East
Oakleigh East is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service, in the south-east of the city. We are based in Bundoora, so you book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.
The suburb sits beside Oakleigh, which has the shopping strip around Eaton Mall and Hanover Street and a railway station on the Pakenham and Cranbourne line. Monash University’s Clayton campus is also nearby, so many renters in the area are students or share-house tenants. The local housing is a mix of older freestanding houses, units and townhouses, which is why we treat period and older-home details as a normal part of the job. Whether you need house end of lease cleaning or apartment end of lease cleaning in Oakleigh East, the same checklist applies.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form and expect a reply on the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for the property, based on its size and condition.
- You book a date. This is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your clean is backed by a 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
Asking for an end of lease cleaning quote Oakleigh East side costs nothing, and a firm price means you can compare it with other quotes before you commit.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. We do not publish other package prices, so call 0401 398 705 for a price on your specific place.
If you are searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Oakleigh East, expect the final figure to follow the size of the property and how much work it needs. A tidy one-bedroom unit and a four-bedroom house with years of buildup are different jobs.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For vacate cleaning in Oakleigh East, that 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
In an older house, a few of these items take more time than people expect. Original cupboards and built-in wardrobes often have deep shelving and corners that collect dust. Window tracks on older frames hold more grime. Scale in older bathrooms and laundries can be heavier. These are the areas agents tend to check closely at exit inspections, so we do not skip them.
Deciding what to bundle
Many agents expect the carpets and windows to be done as well. If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning in Oakleigh East, our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if an animal has lived in the property. 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 oven and window cleaning, the oven is already part of the main clean, and you add the windows by count. Older homes often have more panes than a modern unit, such as multi-pane timber frames, so count them before you decide.
Tell us at quoting stage what you want bundled, so the firm price covers everything in one go.
Picking a time
Dates depend on the diary. We usually book within two to four business days, but we do not promise a particular day. If you are looking for same day end of lease cleaning in Oakleigh East, last minute end of lease cleaning, or weekend end of lease cleaning, we cannot confirm any of those in advance. Availability depends on what is already booked, so call 0401 398 705 as early as you can once you know your move-out date.
The practical advice is to ring when you give notice, not when the keys are due. It leaves room to fit the clean between your move-out and the final inspection.
Before the cleaner arrives
A move out cleaning job goes best when the property is empty or close to it. Before we arrive:
- Remove your belongings, including food, cleaning products and anything in the garage.
- Empty cupboards, drawers, wardrobes and the oven.
- Take down your own curtains or blinds if you are not leaving them.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Let us know about anything fragile, loose or already damaged in the property.
Cleaning does not repair damage. Chipped paint, worn timber floors or rusted fittings in an older house are separate matters between you and the agent, so note them early.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the clean is done, ideally with your lease paperwork in hand. If you booked carpets, give them the few hours they usually need to become walk-on dry before moving anything back in.
Our guarantee is simple. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. This guarantee is in writing. People often search for a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning in Oakleigh East, but we do not guarantee the return of your bond. Bond decisions involve more than cleaning, such as damage and unpaid rent. What we guarantee is the re-clean.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We handle bond and end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning across the metro area. Tenants usually call us because they want a clear price and a written guarantee, not a vague promise. If you are comparing professional bond cleaners, ask each one the same questions about inclusions, guarantee terms and the price per room.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is a unit, townhouse or full house
- Heavy oven, range hood or bathroom buildup
- The number of windows, tracks and flyscreens
- Whether you add carpet steam cleaning or window cleaning
- Garage size and condition
If you see cheap end of lease cleaning advertised in Oakleigh East or elsewhere, we would not read much into the headline number. The same goes for anyone claiming to be the best end of lease cleaning. Compare what is actually included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. A low price that leaves out the oven, tracks or garage may cost you more at inspection time.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Some tenants clean it themselves, and for a small, well-kept unit that can work. The risk is the detail. Agents inspect to the REIV exit condition standard, and the job is mostly about the oven, range hood, tracks, sills and descaling, which take time and the right products.
Older homes add to this. Layers of grease on original range hoods, stubborn scale on older tiles and taps, and dirty tracks on aged window frames are all harder than they look. If you are working or studying and also coordinating a move, booking exit cleaning can free up your last weekend. It also gives you a written re-clean guarantee that a DIY job does not have.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, have these details ready. They help us give an accurate end of tenancy cleaning quote:
- Property type: house, unit, apartment or townhouse
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of windows, if you want them cleaned
- Number of carpeted rooms, and any pet or stain concerns
- Your move-out date and the date of the final inspection
- Anything unusual, such as a second living area or a large garage
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, booking confirmation, the written 7-day re-clean guarantee and your receipt together with your lease documents. Take dated photos of the property after the clean. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue, send us the details within the 7 days so we can arrange the re-clean. Tidy records also help if any dispute about the bond comes up later.
