Moving out of a rental in St Kilda East (postcode 3183) 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 arranging end of lease cleaning St Kilda East, it also covers the details that older homes in the suburb tend to raise.
Covering St Kilda East
St Kilda East is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service, in the inner south of the city. We are based in Bundoora, so we travel to you. The suburb has a mix of low-rise apartment blocks and older houses, with Carlisle Street as the main shopping strip and Balaclava station close by. Many rentals here are in Victorian, Federation or interwar buildings, which is why we pay attention to older-home details.
For bond cleaning St Kilda East, you can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send your details through the free quote form. The same process applies to apartment end of lease cleaning and house end of lease cleaning. If you are in nearby Balaclava or Elsternwick, we service those suburbs too.
From quote to booking
Getting an end of lease cleaning quote is meant to be simple. This is how it works:
- 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 based on your property, so there is no guessing at the door.
- You book a date. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your 7-day re-clean guarantee is confirmed in writing.
What the price starts from
Our Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting figure, not a fixed price for every property. Call for a price on your St Kilda East address and we will quote from the details you give us.
If you are searching for end of lease cleaning prices or a vacate cleaning rate, a single number rarely tells you much. A one-bedroom flat and a four-bedroom period house are different jobs, so the quote should reflect that.
What is included
Our exit 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
Older homes often have deep window sills, multi-pane windows and tracks that have collected years of dust. These are the places a property manager checks closely, so mention them when you call and we can account for them in the quote.
Deciding what to bundle
Most agents expect the carpets to be professionally cleaned as well, so many tenants ask about end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. That includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning starts from $8 per window. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, the oven is already part of the main clean, so the extra cost is for the windows. This matters in a period house with many windows. Count them before you call so the quote is accurate.
Picking a time
Move out cleaning needs to fit between your last day of packing and the final inspection. Our availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise any particular day in advance.
If you are hoping for same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and ask what is open. Contacting us as soon as you know your vacate date gives you the most options.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few steps make the clean more effective:
- Remove all your belongings, including items in the garage, balcony or courtyard.
- Empty the fridge and pantry, and take out rubbish.
- Make sure power and water are connected on the day.
- Arrange access, such as keys or a building entry code for apartments.
- Tell us about anything unusual, such as a fireplace, leadlight windows or heavily marked tiles.
Cleaning works best in an empty property. Furniture left in rooms makes it harder to reach floors, skirting boards and carpet edges.
After the clean
Walk through with your lease and the entry condition report in hand, if you can. Compare the property room by room, then keep your own photos of the finished result.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our 7-day re-clean guarantee, and it is in writing. Contact us promptly and pass on the agent’s comments so we know exactly what to address.
About us
We are a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora, servicing metro suburbs including St Kilda East. Our work is end of lease and bond cleaning, plus carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning. We keep our claims to what we can state: the price starts, the inclusions and the written re-clean guarantee are all listed on this page.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. Things that move it include:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is a flat or a larger house
- The number of windows and how much track and sill work they need
- Built-up grease in the oven or range hood
- Carpeted rooms, stains and pet odour
Period homes can take more time because of ornate details and older fittings. A fair quote reflects the property in front of the cleaner.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
You can clean the property yourself, but oven, range hood, window tracks and descaling take time and the right products. Professional bond cleaners work to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the benchmark many agents use.
When comparing cheap end of lease cleaning offers, or searching for the best end of lease cleaning, we suggest looking at the inclusions, whether a guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. A low headline price that leaves out the oven or windows can cost more later. On bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning, we do not guarantee any bond outcome, because that decision belongs to the landlord or agent. What we guarantee is the 7-day re-clean.
A checklist to hand us
When you call end of lease cleaners for a quote, have these details ready:
- Address and whether it is an apartment or a house
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and windows
- Which rooms have carpet, and any stains or pet odour
- Your lease end date and the date of the final inspection
- Any special features, such as a fireplace, a garage or balcony
Keeping your paperwork
End of tenancy cleaning often ends in a dispute over what was agreed. Keep your written guarantee, your quote and the receipt together with your entry condition report. Add dated photos taken after the clean. If an issue comes up, you will have a clear record to send us within the 7-day window.
