Moving out of a rental in Skye (postcode 3977) 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 at end of lease cleaning Skye, it is written mainly for families leaving a larger house, where the list of bedrooms, wardrobes and bathrooms is longer than usual.
Covering Skye
Skye is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service across Melbourne. It sits in the south-east region, and we are based in Bundoora. Skye is largely residential, with mostly detached houses, and Frankston and Carrum Downs are close by. That makes house end of lease cleaning the more typical job here, although apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same checklist approach on a smaller scale.
Families often leave a larger rental when the kids move out, when work changes or when they are downsizing. A four-bedroom house usually means built-in robes in every bedroom, more than one bathroom, a laundry, a big kitchen and a garage. Each of those is something the property manager will check at the exit inspection. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. A phone quote usually takes under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property, so there is no guessing on the day.
- Choose a date. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- You get our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
If you want an end of lease cleaning quote for Skye, have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms ready, along with your vacate date. That is usually enough for us to price it properly.
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 home. A larger family house will price differently from a small unit, so call for a price based on your actual property.
People searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Skye often find wide gaps between quotes. The gap usually comes down to what is and is not included, so it is worth reading the inclusions before you compare the dollar figure.
What is included
The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For a house with several bedrooms, the inclusions below are the ones that take the most time:
- 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 work that most often appears on an agent’s exit list. It is also the work that tends to get rushed when you are packing a whole household.
Deciding what to bundle
Most rentals with carpet need it professionally cleaned before the final inspection. 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 if animals lived in the house. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning in Skye, count every carpeted room, including hallways and living areas, because the price is per room.
Window cleaning starts from $8 per window. Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are already part of the clean list above. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning priced as a package, ask on the call how the window work fits with your property, since a family house can have a lot of glass.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise specific days in advance. Same day end of lease cleaning in Skye, last minute end of lease cleaning and weekend end of lease cleaning all depend on what is already booked. If your keys are due back soon, call 0401 398 705 early and we will tell you what is realistic.
The practical advice is to book as soon as you know your vacate date. Moving a family takes longer than expected, and the cleaning slot needs to fall after the furniture is out and before the final inspection.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few things make the clean more effective:
- Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, especially from wardrobes, pantry shelves and the laundry.
- Clear the garage so the floor can be swept and the corners reached.
- Take out rubbish and anything left on shelves, windowsills and balconies.
- Make sure power and water are on and that we can get into the property.
- Move pets out, and tell us if there are pet odour concerns in the carpets.
Cleaners can only clean what they can reach. Items left in cupboards or stacked against walls slow the job down and can leave marks that the agent will notice.
After the clean
Walk through the house once the clean is finished, ideally with the entry condition report or the agent’s cleaning list in your hand. If you have had the carpets done, keep shoes off them until they are dry, which is usually within a few hours.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our guarantee, and you receive it in writing. Some people search for a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning in Skye. We do not promise a particular bond outcome, because that decision belongs to the agent and the owner. What we guarantee is the re-clean.

What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. For a family house in Skye, the main factors are:
- Number of bedrooms, wardrobes and bathrooms
- How much build-up there is in the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms, priced from $35 per room
- Number of windows, if you add window cleaning from $8 per window
- Pet odour treatment, if the carpets need it
You may see searches for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning, and we do not use either label. A more useful comparison covers three things: what is included, whether the guarantee is written down, and the price per room for carpets. Two quotes with the same total can cover very different work.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing it yourself can work for a small, lightly used rental. It is harder for a larger house. Descaling several bathrooms, degreasing an oven and range hood, and wiping out every wardrobe and drawer add up to a long day, usually at the point when you are also handling the move.
Booking exit cleaning makes more sense when the home is big, when the agent is strict about the checklist, or when you simply do not have the time. Whichever you choose, the target is the same: the property should match the REIV exit condition standard when the agent inspects it. Terms like move out cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning and end of lease cleaners all describe this same task.

When you call or fill in the form, these details help us give a firm price:
