Moving out of a rental in South Melbourne (postcode 3205) 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.
Covering South Melbourne
South Melbourne is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, within our Inner Melbourne and CBD region. We are based in Bundoora, and we take bookings for South Melbourne the way we take them for every other suburb, by phone or through our quote form.
From quote to booking
Here is the path a booking usually follows:
- You call 0401 398 705. Most quotes take under five minutes.
- If you would rather write it down, you fill in the form and we come back the same business day.
- We confirm the scope and give you a firm price.
- We book a time, usually within two to four business days.
- We clean, and your 7-day re-clean guarantee is in writing.
If you are plan-managed or private pay, the clean is priced the same way. Our rates are the same for everyone.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. We do not publish a fixed figure for every property, because the right price depends on the home, so we ask you to call for a price. That is why we would rather talk you through it than guess.
What is included
- Inside all cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven, cooktop, range hood and dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry fully descaled
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
- A 7-day re-clean guarantee, in writing
We clean to the REIV exit condition standard.
Deciding what to bundle
Many South Melbourne tenants have a few extra jobs on their list at move-out, and bundling them means one quote and one booking.
Carpets. Carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction. It starts from $35/room, includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Most carpets are walk-on dry within a few hours.
Windows. Window cleaning starts from $8/window and covers glass inside and out, frames, sills, tracks and flyscreens, with sliding door glass and rails included.
Timing. If carpets are part of the job, it helps to have them done early in the day so they have time to dry before handover.
Picking a time
We are open Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm, Saturday 8am to 5pm and Sunday 9am to 4pm, with public holidays by arrangement. If your handover is on a weekend, tell us when you call.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few simple steps make the clean more effective. Clear your belongings so cupboards and floors are accessible. Empty the fridge and bins. Make sure the cleaners can get in, and confirm the handover time with your property manager. Point out anything you want specifically looked at, such as a mark on the carpet or a stiff window track.
After the clean
Take dated photos of each room and keep your invoice and written guarantee. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we come back and fix it free of charge. Let us know as soon as you hear from the agent so we can arrange the re-clean quickly.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based cleaning business, and bond cleaning is where we started. Every cleaner holds a current National Police Check, and we carry $20 million public liability insurance. When you call, you speak to someone who knows the cleaners and can make a booking.
What affects the price
We say the clean starts from $280 because the right figure depends on the property. The things that usually matter are the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, how much of the home is carpeted, how many windows there are, and whether there is a garage. Tell us these when you call and we can give you a firm price once the scope is confirmed. Our rates are the same for everyone, so the price does not change based on who you are.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
If you have time and the right products, a self-clean is possible. The difficulty is that the heaviest jobs come at the busiest moment. Oven and range hood cleaning, the full descale of bathrooms, window tracks and flyscreens all take longer than most people expect. Many tenants do the packing, bins and fridge themselves and leave the heavy jobs to us.
A checklist to hand us
Before the clean, make sure the property is empty, the fridge is cleared and bins are out. Confirm the handover time with your property manager, make sure we can get in, and let us know about anything you want looked at. If you have asked for carpets or windows, tell us so the day runs smoothly.
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your invoice and the written 7-day guarantee, and take dated photos of each room afterwards. If a cleaning issue is raised within 7 days, you have everything you need to ask us back quickly.
