What is included

- Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven
- Cooktop
- Range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
In a family house, the cupboards, drawers and wardrobes across several bedrooms, plus more than one bathroom, are usually where the hours go. These are also the areas an exit inspection looks at closely.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpet steam cleaning is truck-mounted hot water extraction, 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. If your lease or your agent’s list calls for professionally cleaned carpets, end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning in Oakleigh can be arranged as one booking.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning in Oakleigh, the oven is already part of the standard clean, and you can ask on the call how the windows are handled for your property. For a bigger house, count every carpeted room and every window before you ask for a quote, because both are priced per item.
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 in Oakleigh. If your keys are due back soon, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
Where you can, leave a gap between the clean and your final inspection, especially if carpets are included. That gives time to sort out anything the agent raises.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean works best in an empty property. Moving a family out takes longer than most people plan for, so allow for it.
- Remove furniture, boxes and personal items, including what is stored in the garage.
- Empty every cupboard, drawer, wardrobe and pantry shelf so they can be cleaned inside.
- Take rubbish and unwanted items away before the day.
- Keep power and water on, and arrange access if you will not be there.
- Point out any problem areas, such as heavy oven grease or marks you could not shift.
After the clean
If you can, walk through with your agent’s exit list and check each room against it. Take dated photos of the finished property, including inside the oven, the wardrobes and the bathrooms.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That guarantee is in writing. People often search for bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning in Oakleigh, so to be clear: we do not guarantee a bond outcome. The bond decision also depends on the condition report and on things cleaning cannot change, such as damage. What we guarantee is the re-clean.

What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- Condition, such as baked-on oven grease, heavy limescale or built-up dirt in window tracks
- The number of carpeted rooms, if you add steam cleaning
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- Whether you need pet odour treatment

Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, but it is a lot of work when you are also packing a family home. The oven, descaling, window tracks and wardrobe interiors take time, and a missed spot can mean a return trip after the inspection.
If you book, compare end of lease cleaners on the same terms: what is covered, whether the standard is named, and whether the guarantee is in writing. Professional bond cleaners should be able to tell you plainly what is and is not included before you commit.
A checklist to hand us

- Address and postcode
- House or apartment, with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms, and any pet odours or stains
- Approximate number of windows
- Your agent’s cleaning or exit list, if you have one
- Your lease end date and any inspection date
- Access and key arrangements
Keeping your paperwork
