What the price starts from

When people search for end of lease cleaning prices Patterson Lakes, they often want the lowest figure. If you are looking for cheap end of lease cleaning, or the best end of lease cleaning, compare what sits behind each quote instead: the inclusions, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for any carpet work. A low headline price that leaves out the oven or the window tracks can cost more once you add them back.
What is included
Our professional bond cleaners work to the REIV exit condition standard. This is the clean property managers expect for vacate cleaning and exit cleaning at the end of a tenancy. It covers:
- Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven
- Cooktop
- Range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
If your agent’s checklist lists something not shown here, mention it when you call so it can be discussed before the booking.
Deciding what to bundle
Most agents look at the carpets, so end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is a common combination. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35/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 is available from $8/window. The standard clean already covers the oven, plus window tracks, sills and flyscreens. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning Patterson Lakes, ask how the window work fits with what is already included so you do not pay twice. For apartments, tell us about parking and access, because truck-mounted equipment relies on a vehicle being close to the building.
Picking a time
Dates depend 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 Patterson Lakes. If you need one of those, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is open.
Apartment tenants should sort out the building side first. Lift bookings and loading areas can be limited around busy move-out days, and the cleaning date needs to fit around yours. Once you know your vacate date, ring us promptly.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few steps make the clean go to plan, especially for a move out cleaning in an apartment building:
- Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, including from cupboards and the garage.
- Book the lift or loading area with the building manager or body corporate if your building requires it.
- Arrange access, whether that is keys, a fob or a lockbox.
- Check that power and water are still connected.
- Let us know about parking, pets and any known stains or damage.
After the clean
Walk through the property if you can and compare it with your agent’s checklist. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our guarantee, and you receive it in writing.
You may see phrases such as bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning. We do not guarantee a bond refund, because that decision belongs to the owner or agent. What we guarantee is the 7-day re-clean. If you have steam cleaned carpets, allow for the few hours they usually need to dry before walking on them.

What affects the price
The Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starting price of $280 is where quotes begin. Where yours lands depends on:
- The size of the property and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Its condition, such as baked-on oven grease or heavy limescale
- The number of carpeted rooms, if you add steam cleaning
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- Pet odour treatment for carpets
- Whether there is a garage or other areas to clean
A small apartment and a large canal-side house will not be quoted the same, and that is normal.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Some tenants clean at the end of tenancy themselves, and that can work if you have the time and your agent’s checklist is short. The jobs that take longest are the oven, the descaling in bathrooms and laundries, the window tracks and the carpets. Moving out also leaves little time, particularly in an apartment where lift slots and handover dates are fixed. Booking a cleaner makes sense when the checklist is long, when you are moving interstate, or when you want a written guarantee behind the result. Weigh up your own time and the risk of a second clean against the quote.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the quote quicker:
- The property address and whether it is an apartment, townhouse or house
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- How many rooms are carpeted
- Roughly how many windows there are
- Whether there is a garage, oven or dishwasher to clean
- Any pets, stains or heavy build-up
- Lift, parking and building access rules
- Your vacate date and your agent’s cleaning checklist
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, your booking confirmation and the written 7-day re-clean guarantee together with your lease documents. Also hold on to your agent’s exit condition report and any photos you took at move-in and move-out. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue, send us their comments promptly. The 7-day window starts from when you were told, so quick contact helps.
