Moving out of a rental in Reefton (postcode 3799) 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. If you are arranging end of lease cleaning Reefton while also packing for a new place in another suburb, the answers below are set out so you can plan the cleaning around your move.
Covering Reefton
Reefton is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It sits in the Yarra Ranges region, in Melbourne’s outer east, near Warburton. We are based in Bundoora, and you can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through our free quote form.
Rentals in this part of the Yarra Ranges are more often houses than apartment blocks, and some sit among trees and gardens. That can mean leaf litter and dust in window tracks and around doors. The scope of the clean is the same whatever you are leaving. If your next place is an apartment, or you are leaving one, apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same checklist as house end of lease cleaning.
When you are moving between suburbs, the cleaning is one more job competing with removalists, key handover and setting up the new address. The sections below are written with that in mind.
From quote to booking
Getting an end of lease cleaning quote does not take long, and the steps are the same for every suburb:
- 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 based on the size and condition of the property.
- If you accept, the clean is booked. This is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- You get our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing. If your property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. Please call for a price on your specific home.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices, line up the same things for each provider: what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning Reefton, but a low headline figure can leave out the oven, the windows or the carpets. A higher figure can include them. Ask each business for the full list so you are comparing like with like.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. 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
This is the kind of list a property manager checks when they compare the property to the entry condition report. Whether you call it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning, it is the same job. If your agent has sent their own cleaning checklist, give it to us when you request the quote.
Deciding what to bundle
Many agents expect carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. Our carpet steam cleaning is truck-mounted hot water extraction, 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, which helps when you have a tight handover.
If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning in Reefton, ask for both on the one quote so the visits can be planned together. Count the carpeted rooms before you call, because the carpet price is per room.
Window cleaning is from $8 per window. The standard clean already covers the oven, and the window tracks, sills and flyscreens. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, confirm on the quote how the glass itself is handled and how many windows are counted.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning. If your dates are tight, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is open. The same applies if you need weekend end of lease cleaning. Raise it when you call, and we will check the diary.
If you are moving between suburbs, a sensible order helps:
- Move your furniture and boxes out first, so the cleaners can reach every room.
- Have the clean done once the property is empty.
- Allow time between the carpet clean and your final inspection, since carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
- Keep your key handover time in mind when you choose the booking.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes the clean go more smoothly:
- Remove all belongings, including items in the garage, cupboards, drawers and wardrobes.
- Take out rubbish and any leftover food.
- Make sure the cleaners can get in, and that power and water are on.
- Tell us about any known problem areas, such as a greasy oven, heavy limescale or pet odour on carpets.
- Fix or report any damage separately. Cleaning does not repair marks, holes or broken fittings.
If you are still carrying boxes to the new place on the day, tell us when you call so access can be arranged.
After the clean
Walk through the property if you can and compare it with your entry condition report. Take dated photos of each room, the oven, the bathrooms and the carpets.
If your property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, contact us on 0401 398 705. We return and fix it free of charge. That written 7-day re-clean guarantee is what we offer. We do not offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning in Reefton or anywhere else, because bond decisions involve more than cleaning, such as damage, unpaid rent and the agent’s own assessment. What the guarantee does is cover the cleaning side if the agent finds something we should have caught.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business that services metro suburbs, including Reefton. Our end of lease cleaners work to the REIV exit condition standard, and the work is backed by the 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing. If you want professional bond cleaners who explain the inclusions before you book, call and ask us to walk you through the quote.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on the size and condition of the property. These are the things we look at:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- The condition of the oven, cooktop, range hood and bathrooms
- Limescale in bathrooms and the laundry
- The number of carpeted rooms, at $35 per room for steam cleaning
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning at $8 per window
- Pet odour treatment, if the carpets need it
- The garage, and how much sweeping and cobweb removal it needs
A tidy two-bedroom unit and a large family home that has not had a deep clean in years will not cost the same, so we quote each property individually.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing the clean yourself is a fair option if you have the time and the property is in good condition. The oven, range hood, window tracks and bathroom descaling are the jobs people most often underestimate. They also take the most time, when you are already juggling a move.
Booking makes more sense when your dates are tight, when the new place needs your attention, or when you want a written guarantee behind the result. Think about what your weekend or final days are worth, and compare that with the quote. Either way, work from the agent’s checklist, not guesswork.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the quote faster, whether you call or use the free quote form:
- The property address and postcode
- Whether it is a house, unit or apartment
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- The number of carpeted rooms
- The approximate number of windows
- The oven, cooktop and bathroom condition
- Whether pets lived in the property
- Your key handover date and time
- Your agent’s cleaning checklist, if you have one
Keeping your paperwork
Keep everything in one folder, on paper or on your phone. That includes your accepted quote, the written 7-day re-clean guarantee, the payment receipt, your photos and the entry and exit condition reports. If the agent raises a cleaning issue, you will have the dates and details ready when you call us on 0401 398 705. It also helps your next application, since you can show a documented exit from your last tenancy.
