Covering Pakenham Upper
Pakenham Upper is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service, in the city’s south-east. We are based in Bundoora, so we travel to you. You can book by phone or through the quote form.
Pakenham Upper sits next to Pakenham, where the Pakenham railway line ends. Housing in the area is mostly standalone houses, often on larger blocks, so house end of lease cleaning is more common here than apartment end of lease cleaning. The standard we work to is the same for both. Some rentals are older homes with details that newer builds do not have, and we cover those further down.
From quote to booking
The process is short, and you can see the price before you commit.
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property, based on its size and condition.
- You book the clean. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your clean comes with our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate. The final figure depends on the size of the property and its condition, so call for a price rather than relying on a number you found online.
If you are searching for cheap end of lease cleaning in Pakenham Upper, compare quotes on the same basis. Check what each one includes, whether the guarantee is in writing, and what carpets cost per room. A low headline figure that leaves out the oven, the tracks or the carpets can end up costing more than a quote that covers them. When you compare end of lease cleaning prices, line the inclusions up side by side.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the standard most agents measure a vacated property against. The clean 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
If you are comparing professional bond cleaners, use this list as your yardstick. Ask every business whether each of these items is in the quote.
Deciding what to bundle
Most agents look closely at the carpets, so many tenants combine the clean with carpet work. 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 you have had animals in the property. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning starts from $8 per window. The standard clean already covers window tracks, sills and flyscreens, and the oven is part of the kitchen clean. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, tell us how many windows there are and we will confirm what your quote includes. Asking for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning on the same booking means one call and one visit to arrange.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning, and we do not guarantee weekend end of lease cleaning. Those slots depend on what is already booked. If your keys are due back soon, or you need a weekend, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is possible.
Work backwards from your handover date. Allow time for the clean, for the carpets to dry, and for a possible re-clean before the final inspection.
Before the cleaner arrives
A move out cleaning job goes best when the property is empty. Before we arrive:
- Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, including from the garage and wardrobes.
- Keep power and water connected, because cleaning needs both.
- Arrange access if you will not be there.
- Take out rubbish and anything left in the fridge, pantry or laundry.
In an older home, check things a modern rental may not have. Look at timber window frames that stick, multi-pane windows, and tracks with years of build-up. Look at picture rails, ornate light fittings and old tiling in the bathroom or laundry. These details take longer to clean, so mention them when you get your quote. Note any existing marks or wear that appear on your entry condition report, so you know what is genuine wear and what is cleaning.
After the clean
Walk through the property when the work is finished, or check it against your agent’s list if you cannot be there. Take dated photos of the kitchen, bathrooms, windows and carpets before you hand back the keys.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That 7-day re-clean guarantee is given in writing.
You may see bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning advertised elsewhere. We do not promise a bond result, because the bond decision belongs to the landlord or agent and can involve things other than cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent. Our guarantee is the re-clean.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business serving metro suburbs. Our work is bond cleaning for tenants, which you may also hear called vacate cleaning, exit cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. These terms all mean the same job: cleaning a rental to the standard needed at handover.
People often search for the best end of lease cleaning in Pakenham Upper. We would rather you judge by things you can check: the inclusions, a written guarantee, and the price per room for carpets. Then choose the end of lease cleaners who are clear on all three.
What affects the price
The starting price of $280 moves with the job. The main factors are:
- Property size: the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas.
- Condition: baked-on oven grease, limescale, mould in wet areas and built-up grime on tracks all add time.
- Windows: an older house with many windows, tracks and sills takes longer than a small unit.
- Carpets: the number of rooms at $35 per room, and whether pet odour treatment is needed.
- Extras: window cleaning at $8 per window, and the garage.
We do not quote a fixed price for every house. Call us or use the free quote form and we will give you a figure based on your property.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, and plenty of tenants do it. The risk is time and tools. Oven racks, descaling, window tracks and wardrobe interiors are where many tenants run out of hours, and you are likely doing it while packing and handing back keys.
Booking a clean makes sense when the property is large, the move date is tight, or the home has details that take extra work. Carpets are the usual exception. Many tenants clean the rest themselves and book steam cleaning on its own, and some agents ask for proof of professional carpet cleaning. Check your lease and your agent’s instructions to see what applies.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the quote quicker and firmer:
- Property address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms
- Approximate number of windows
- Whether pets lived in the property
- Oven and bathroom condition
- Whether the garage needs cleaning
- Your handover date and any inspection date
- How we will get access
- Your agent’s cleaning checklist, if they gave you one
Keeping your paperwork
Keep everything until the bond is settled. That means your quote, your invoice or receipt, our written 7-day re-clean guarantee, your entry and exit condition reports, and your photos. Keep any emails from the agent, and note the date of the final inspection so you know when the 7 days start. If a cleaning issue is raised, send us the details promptly so we can arrange the return visit.
