Moving out of a rental in Port Melbourne (postcode 3207) 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. It is written for tenants looking at end of lease cleaning Port Melbourne wide, with a particular focus on pets and carpets.
Covering Port Melbourne
Port Melbourne is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in inner Melbourne near the bay, with Bay Street as its main shopping strip and tram and light rail connections towards the city. The housing is a mix of apartments and houses, so we are used to both apartment end of lease cleaning and house end of lease cleaning.
We are based in Bundoora and travel to you. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send the details through our free quote form. If you are moving between Port Melbourne and nearby South Melbourne or Albert Park, the same process applies.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or fill in 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 in. Bookings are usually arranged within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing.
An end of lease cleaning quote Port Melbourne tenants can rely on should be specific. Ask for the price, the inclusions and the guarantee in the same conversation, so you know what you are agreeing to before you book.
What the price starts from
Our Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. A one-bedroom apartment and a three-bedroom house with pets will not cost the same, so call 0401 398 705 for a price that fits your place.
When people search for end of lease cleaning prices Port Melbourne, they often add words like cheap or best. We do not use those labels, because they do not tell you much. Compare what actually matters instead:
- What is included, line by line (oven, windows, wardrobes, bathrooms and so on)
- Whether the re-clean guarantee is in writing, and for how many days
- The price per room for carpet cleaning, and whether stain treatment is part of it
- Whether the standard referred to is the one your agent will inspect against
What is included
Our work is done to the REIV exit condition standard. That is the benchmark many agents use when they inspect a property at the end of a tenancy, so it is the sensible one to clean to. 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
Whether you call it bond cleaning, vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning, it is the same job: leaving the property in the condition the exit standard expects. Our team of professional bond cleaners works through the property room by room against that list.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are where pets leave their mark. Hair works deep into the pile, and odours can linger in a bedroom or lounge long after the animal has gone. Agents often look closely at carpet, so it is worth thinking about early.
Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Tell us about the pets when you call so we can discuss what the carpet needs. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Windows are $8 per window. Port Melbourne apartments often have a lot of glass, so count them before you decide. If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Port Melbourne wide, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, ask for everything on one quote. The oven is already part of the standard clean, while carpets and windows are priced as above. One quote makes it easier to compare against other providers.
Picking a time
Your lease end date, the handover inspection and the removalist all pull on the same few days. Our availability depends on the diary, so the earlier you ask, the more options you have. Call 0401 398 705 as soon as you know your move-out date.
If you are looking for same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Port Melbourne, we cannot promise any of those in advance. Phone and we will tell you what the diary allows. If you are also booking carpets, ask about the order of work, since carpets need a few hours to dry.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few small steps make the clean more effective and keep your quote accurate:
- Remove your belongings, including items in cupboards, drawers and the garage.
- Arrange for pets to be elsewhere on the day. This is safer for them and for the cleaners.
- Make sure power and water are on and access is arranged.
- Take out food, rubbish and anything in the fridge that you do not plan to take.
- Note any marks or damage you already know about, so there are no surprises.
If you have a cat or dog, mention where it sleeps and spends time. Those spots usually need the most carpet attention.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the work is done, and if possible before you hand back the keys. Check the areas an agent usually looks at: oven, bathroom, wardrobes, window tracks and carpets.
If your property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That promise is in writing. Some people search for a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning service, but we do not guarantee any bond outcome, because that decision is not ours to make. What we do guarantee is the re-clean.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business servicing metro suburbs, including Port Melbourne. Our focus is bond and end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning. We would rather give you clear information and a written guarantee than a long list of claims, so the details on this page are the ones we are happy to stand behind. For anything else, call and ask.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on the size and condition of the property. These are the usual factors:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Apartment or house, and whether there is a garage
- How much build-up there is in the oven, bathrooms and laundry
- How many rooms are carpeted and how many need steam cleaning
- Pets, and whether odour treatment is needed
- The number of windows you want cleaned
A tidy, lightly used apartment is generally simpler than a house where pets have lived for the whole tenancy. That is why we ask a few questions rather than quoting blind.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, and some tenants are happy to do it. The trade-off is time and the exit standard. Descaling bathrooms, degreasing an oven and range hood, and doing every window track take longer than most people expect, and they happen in the busiest week of a move.
Carpets are the other consideration. Hiring a machine is possible, but it is not the same as truck-mounted hot water extraction, and pet odours are hard to deal with without the right treatment. If you book, you are paying for the time, the equipment and the written re-clean guarantee. Many tenants do a part-and-part approach, packing and removing belongings themselves while we handle the clean.
A checklist to hand us
Have these ready when you call 0401 398 705 or complete the free quote form:
- Property type (apartment or house) and number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Your move-out date and the date of the final inspection
- Number of carpeted rooms, and whether pets have lived there
- Approximate number of windows
- Any items the agent has specifically flagged
- How we will get access to the property
Keeping your paperwork
Keep a copy of your quote, your receipt and the written 7-day guarantee until the bond process has finished. Take dated photos of each room after cleaning, and keep any carpet cleaning receipt in case the agent asks for it. If something is raised, send it to us promptly with the details, because the 7-day window starts when you hand over.
