Your agent might call it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. In practice it is the same job: returning the property clean, in line with the condition recorded when you moved in. The list above is a useful reference for what professional bond cleaners work through, and it makes a handy checklist even if you decide to clean yourself.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpet steam cleaning is priced separately, from $35 per room. We use truck-mounted hot water extraction, and the price includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if you have had animals in the property. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.

The standard clean covers windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens. Separate window cleaning is available from $8 per window, so ask when you get your quote which option suits your property, especially if you have many windows or large glass sections.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning Pakenham South or last minute end of lease cleaning Pakenham South, and weekend end of lease cleaning Pakenham South depends on what is free at the time. The best step is to call 0401 398 705 as early as you can once you know your move-out date.
Aim to book the clean after your belongings are out and before the final inspection, leaving a little room in case anything needs a follow-up. If you are in an apartment, lift bookings can limit your available hours, so it helps to line up the building and the cleaning dates together.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few preparations make the visit smoother. For an apartment or unit complex:
- Book the lift or loading area with the building manager or owners corporation, if your building requires it.
- Confirm the building’s access hours and any noise or work restrictions.
- Arrange keys, fobs or an entry code for the day, and tell us about any intercom or security steps.
- Check where visitors or trades can park.
For a house, clear the garage and any outdoor storage so it can be swept, make sure side gates are accessible, and keep pets elsewhere on the day. In both cases, remove personal belongings, rubbish and leftover food from cupboards and the fridge, and have power and water connected so appliances can be cleaned properly.
After the clean
Walk through the property with your entry condition report in hand and compare the rooms. If you booked carpets, allow them time to dry; they are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
You may see a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning Pakenham South offered elsewhere. We do not guarantee that you will get your bond back, because that decision is not ours to make and can depend on matters beyond cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent. What we do give you, in writing, is the 7-day re-clean guarantee: if the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. Pass the agent’s concerns on to us promptly so we can arrange a visit.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. We offer Bond & End of Lease Cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning, and we service Melbourne metro suburbs, including Pakenham South.

What affects the price
The starting price of $280 moves with your property. The final quote depends on property size and condition, and these are the main factors we ask about:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment, unit, townhouse or house
- The condition of the oven, range hood, bathrooms and floors
- The number of carpeted rooms, and any stains or pet odour
- How many windows you want cleaned separately
- Whether there is a garage to sweep
A property that has been kept up through the tenancy is usually simpler to quote than one with heavy grease or limescale build-up. Telling us honestly about the condition gives you a more accurate figure.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself costs only your time and supplies, and for a small, well-kept unit it can be reasonable. The hard parts are usually the oven and range hood, descaling bathrooms, tracks and flyscreens, and doing it all in the final days when you are also packing and returning keys.
Booking professionals suits you if you are short on time, have a larger home, or want a written guarantee behind the result. Whichever you choose, work from the same room-by-room list, because an agent’s inspection will follow it.
A checklist to hand us
When you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form, have these details ready:
- The property address and whether it is an apartment, unit, townhouse or house
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and any extra living areas

- Roughly how many windows you want cleaned
