Moving out of a rental in Ripponlea (postcode 3185) 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 for end of lease cleaning Ripponlea, using what we state on our site. It is written for tenants, including students and people leaving share houses, who want the facts before they pick up the phone.
Covering Ripponlea
Ripponlea is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service across Melbourne. It sits in the inner south-east, around Ripponlea railway station on the Sandringham line and the Glen Eira Road shops, with Ripponlea Estate and its gardens close by. Elsternwick and Balaclava are the neighbouring suburbs most people will recognise.

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, so call 0401 398 705 for a price on your place. We do not publish other fixed prices for the main clean, because a studio apartment and a four-bedroom house are different jobs.
If you are searching for cheap end of lease cleaning in Ripponlea, compare the same things across every quote. Check what is listed, whether the oven and window tracks are in or out, whether a written guarantee is offered, and what carpets cost per room. A low headline figure that leaves out half the checklist often costs more once extras are added. Anyone comparing end of lease cleaning prices should do it line by line.
What is included
Our vacate cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. The clean 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
This is the list that exit cleaning inspections tend to focus on, so it is worth reading against any cleaning list your agent has given you. If something on their list is not above, ask us when you call.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are the most common add-on. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35/room. Spot and stain treatment is included in that price, and pet odour treatment is available if an animal has lived in the property. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is available from $8/window if you want windows quoted on their own. Many tenants ask about end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning so that one visit covers everything. Others want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning priced as a package. Tell us which applies when you call and we will price it together.
Check your lease or the entry condition report before you decide. Some agreements specifically ask for professional carpet cleaning at the end of the tenancy.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Ripponlea, and we will not guess at a slot before checking. What helps most is calling 0401 398 705 early, as soon as you know your move out date.
For the best result, aim for a clean after the furniture and boxes are out and before the final inspection or key handover. If you are in a share house where housemates leave on different days, agree on one date after the last person has moved out.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation keeps the visit focused on cleaning rather than clearing.
- Remove all furniture, personal items and rubbish, including anything left in cupboards, drawers and the garage.
- Make sure the cleaner can get in, with keys, a building fob or intercom details for apartments.
- Keep power and water connected on the day.
- Share houses: agree who is clearing which room, and who holds the keys.
- Point out stubborn marks, pet areas or damage you already know about.
Bulky items left behind slow a clean down and can make it harder to reach walls, wardrobes and carpet edges.
After the clean
Walk through the property with your entry condition report in hand, if you can. Take dated photos of the kitchen, bathrooms and windows before you hand back the keys. If you booked carpets, give them the few hours they usually need to dry before moving things across them.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, call us and we return and fix it free of charge. That written re-clean guarantee is what we offer. We do not offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning, because the bond decision is made by the agent or landlord and the cleaning is only one part of the final inspection.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We do bond and end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning across the metro area. When you call 0401 398 705 you can ask direct questions about inclusions, pricing and timing before you agree to anything.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. These are the main factors:
- Size: the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether it is an apartment or a house.
- Condition: baked-on grease in the oven, heavy limescale in bathrooms, or dusty window tracks take longer to clean.
- Carpets: the number of rooms, at $35/room, plus any pet odour treatment.
- Windows: the count, if you want them quoted separately at $8/window.
- Extras: a garage or storage area that needs attention.
A compact apartment end of lease cleaning job will usually look different on paper from house end of lease cleaning with a garage and several carpeted bedrooms. That is why we quote each property individually.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, and plenty of tenants manage it. The parts that take time are the oven, range hood, dishwasher, descaling and window tracks, and they are the parts agents look at closely. In a share house the job often falls between housemates, and one missed oven can hold up everyone’s bond.
Booking professional bond cleaners makes sense when you are short on time, the property is large, or the group is spread across different cities. When comparing end of lease cleaners, skip the question of who is the “best”, because no web page can prove that. Instead compare:
- What the clean includes, item by item
- Whether the guarantee is in writing and how long it runs
- The price per room for carpets, and per window if relevant
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the call quicker and the quote firmer:
- The street address and whether it is an apartment or a house
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- How many rooms are carpeted
- Roughly how many windows you want cleaned
- Whether pets have lived there
- The state of the oven and bathrooms
- Whether there is a garage
- Your move out date and the key handover time
- Any cleaning list from your agent
Keeping your paperwork
For end of tenancy cleaning, keep everything in one folder or shared drive: your quote, the invoice, the written 7-day guarantee, the entry and exit condition reports, your photos and any emails with the property manager. If you are in a share house, send a copy to every name on the lease. Anyone may need it if the agent raises a question later on.
