Moving out of a rental in Ringwood East (postcode 3135) 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 covers end of lease cleaning Ringwood East with a focus on pets and carpets, because that is where tenants with animals usually have the most to think about.
Covering Ringwood East
Ringwood East is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It sits in the outer east, and the Ringwood East station on the Lilydale line is a landmark most tenants will know. Rentals here are mostly houses, with units and some apartments mixed in. We are based in Bundoora and travel to you, so there is no need to visit an office. You can book by phone or through the quote form.
Whether you need house end of lease cleaning or apartment end of lease cleaning, the process is the same. Only the size of the property and its condition change. If you are moving between Ringwood East and nearby Ringwood or Croydon, mention both addresses when you call so the dates line up.
From quote to booking
Getting an end of lease cleaning quote is meant to be simple. The steps run like this:
- 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, so you know the figure before you commit.
- You book a date. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days.
- Your 7-day re-clean guarantee is put in writing.
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 Ringwood East address. We do not publish other figures for the base clean, because a one-bedroom unit and a family house are different jobs.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices, line up the same inclusions and the same guarantee terms. A low headline number means little if the oven, the windows or the written guarantee are left out.
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 list is what end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning looks like in practice. These items are the ones agents tend to check closely at an exit inspection.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are the usual add-on, and for pet owners they matter most. 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, and carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Many tenants book end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning so the whole property is handled in one visit. Results on older stains or deep pet odour depend on the carpet and how long the marks have been there, so tell us about them when you call.
Window cleaning is priced from $8 per window. Ask how glass is treated in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Picking a time
Many tenants ask about same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Ringwood East. We cannot promise any of these. Availability depends on the diary for the dates you need. The practical advice is to call 0401 398 705 as early as you can, ideally as soon as you know your move-out date, so we can tell you what is open.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes the clean more effective, especially with pets.
- Remove all belongings, including items in the garage and wardrobes.
- Take pets, litter trays, bedding and bowls with you or arrange for them to be elsewhere.
- Vacuum loose pet hair if you can. It helps the carpet clean and lets us see what is actually stained.
- Make sure power and water are still on.
- Point out any marks, spills or odours you already know about.
After the clean
Walk through before the inspection. Check the oven, the bathroom and the windows. Because carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, you can generally return the same day. Keep the rooms ventilated and avoid putting furniture or boxes back on damp carpet.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our written 7-day re-clean guarantee. Contact us promptly and send the agent’s comments so we know what to look at.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We service metro suburbs, including Ringwood East. If you are looking for professional bond cleaners, the most useful questions to ask any company are what the clean includes, what the guarantee says, and whether it is in writing. You can ask us all three by phone.
What affects the price
Your final quote depends on property size and condition. These are the factors we are likely to ask about:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment or a house, and whether there is a garage
- The condition of the oven, bathrooms and windows
- How many rooms of carpet need steam cleaning
- Pet odour or stains that need extra treatment
- How many windows need cleaning
People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning. Neither phrase tells you much on its own. Compare what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the carpet price per room. Those details show what you actually get.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself can work for a small, lightly used rental. It gets harder with an oven that has not been deep cleaned, limescale in the bathroom, window tracks and carpets that have had pets on them. Hiring end of lease cleaners saves you a weekend and means the work is checked against the exit standard. It also gives you a written guarantee if the agent raises a cleaning issue within 7 days.
Either way, it helps to know what your agent expects. Many people use the terms vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning for the same job, but your lease and the agent’s checklist are what count.
A checklist to hand us
Have this ready when you call or fill in the form:
- Your Ringwood East address and property type
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and carpeted rooms
- Approximate number of windows
- Whether you have, or had, pets in the property
- Your lease end date and inspection date
- Any agent cleaning checklist you were given
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, your quote and your final invoice together with your entry condition report and any emails from the agent. If a cleaning issue is raised, you will have everything in one place. Note the date of the final inspection, because the 7-day window matters.
