Moving out of a rental in Sassafras (postcode 3787) 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 looking for end of lease cleaning Sassafras, it also sets out how to fit the clean into your move-out week.
Covering Sassafras
Sassafras is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne’s outer east, close to Sherbrooke Forest. Rentals here are mostly houses, with fewer units, so house end of lease cleaning is the more common job. Apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same checklist on a smaller footprint.
We are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone or through the quote form, and you do not need to be home for a quote to begin.
From quote to booking
Here is how the process runs, from your first enquiry to the written guarantee:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone take under five minutes. Alternatively, send the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- Tell us the property type, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether you want carpets or windows included.
- You receive a firm price for the job, so you know the figure before you commit.
- Booking is usually within two to four business days of accepting the quote, depending on the diary.
- The clean comes with our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
Ask for an end of lease cleaning quote early in your notice period. It gives you time to compare options calmly instead of rushing the decision in the last few days.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every home. Please call 0401 398 705 for a price on your property.
People searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Sassafras often type “cheap” or “best” into the search box. Neither word tells you much about the job. Compare these things between providers instead:
- What is listed as included, such as oven, range hood, windows and tracks, and garage.
- Whether the re-clean guarantee is given in writing, and how many days it runs.
- The price per room if carpets are part of the job.
- Whether the clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. The same checklist applies whether you call it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. It 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
Houses with bush around them can pick up leaf litter and cobwebs around windows, sills and garages. These are exactly the areas agents tend to look at, so it is worth walking around the outside of the property before you book.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, and some also want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning. The oven is already part of the main clean. Here is how the extras are priced:
- Carpet steam cleaning is from $35 per room. It uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
- Window cleaning is from $8 per window. Ask us on the call how this fits with the tracks, sills and flyscreens already in the main clean.
Check your lease and any agent notes. If they mention professional carpet cleaning, a receipt from a professional operator is useful to have on file. Our professional bond cleaners can quote the carpets and the clean together.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning in Sassafras or last minute end of lease cleaning. The same goes for weekend end of lease cleaning. If you need a particular day, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
A simple order for the move-out week:
- Confirm your vacate date and the final inspection date with the agent.
- Book the clean for after your furniture and belongings are out.
- Leave a gap before the inspection in case anything needs attention.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean works best in an empty property. In the days before, remove everything that belongs to you, including food from the fridge and pantry and items from the garage and shed. Throw out rubbish and take down any hooks or fixings you installed, if the lease requires it.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Leave access to every room, the garage and any outdoor storage.
- Point out any marks or damage so there are no surprises.
- Let us know about pets, as this affects carpet odour treatment.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the clean is finished, if you can. Look at the oven, bathrooms, windows and cupboards, as these are usually checked first. If you have had carpets steam cleaned, give them the few hours they usually need to become walk-on dry before you carry anything across them.
Then return the keys as arranged with your agent. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. Contact us promptly with what the agent has said so we can arrange the re-clean.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora, servicing metro suburbs including Sassafras. We clean to the REIV exit condition standard, and our guarantee is a 7-day re-clean in writing. We quote by phone or through the website, and the price you accept is the price for the job.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. A two-bedroom unit and a four-bedroom house are different jobs, even if the checklist is the same. These factors also matter:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Built-up grease in the oven, cooktop and range hood.
- Heavy limescale in bathrooms and the laundry.
- The number of carpeted rooms and windows you add.
- Whether there is a garage, and how much cobweb and debris is in it.
Being upfront about the condition helps us give you a firm figure.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself is a real option if you have the time and the right products. The risk is that move-out week is already full with packing, handovers, address changes and utilities. Ovens, descaling and tracks take longer than most people expect.
Booking a professional clean takes one job off your list and comes with a written re-clean guarantee. Neither route guarantees an outcome with your agent, because the inspection is theirs to make. Decide based on your time, the property’s condition and how much you want to hand over.
A checklist to hand us
When you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form, have these details ready:
- Your address in Sassafras or a nearby suburb such as Olinda.
- House or apartment, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Your vacate date and inspection date, if you know them.
- Which rooms have carpet, and whether there are pets.
- The number of windows, if you want window cleaning.
- Any areas of heavy build-up or damage.
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, your quote and any carpet cleaning receipt together with your lease and final inspection notes. If an agent raises an issue, you can show exactly what was booked and when. Take dated photos of each room after the clean and before you hand over the keys.
