Moving out of a rental in St Kilda Road (postcode 3004) 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. It covers end of lease cleaning St Kilda Road tenants can book, with a particular eye on student and share-house moves, where several people share one bond and one deadline.
Covering St Kilda Road
St Kilda Road is one of the 386 metro suburbs and areas we service across Melbourne. We are based in Bundoora, so we travel to you. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through our free quote form.
St Kilda Road is a wide boulevard running south from the CBD towards St Kilda Junction. Trams run along it, and the Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park are close by. The rental stock is largely apartments, so apartment end of lease cleaning is the main thing to plan for here. House end of lease cleaning in surrounding streets, including towards South Yarra or St Kilda, follows the same process.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property, so you know the figure before you commit.
- You book a time. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- You get our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
Asking for an end of lease cleaning quote does not commit you to anything. It simply gives you a number to compare and to put to your housemates.
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 for a price based on your place.
If you are searching for cheap end of lease cleaning, or for the best end of lease cleaning, a headline figure alone will not tell you much. Compare what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for any carpet work. Two quotes that look similar can cover very different things.
What is included
Our bond 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
Agents often use different names for the same job: vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. The scope above is what we do whichever name your agent uses.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenancy agreements ask for carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning means we use truck-mounted hot water extraction from $35 per room. This includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available, and carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. The standard clean already covers windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens as listed above, so when you ring, tell us how many windows you have and what you want done. We can explain how the two fit together for your property. The oven is part of the base clean, so end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning only needs the window question settled.
Fixed prices per room or per window make it easy to add things up and divide the total between housemates.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise a particular slot 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, the answer depends on what is already booked. Call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is possible.
Student and share-house leases often end on the same date, and the final inspection may fall soon after you hand back the keys. Settle the cleaning date as soon as you know your move-out date, and book it for after everyone’s belongings are out.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean can only happen in empty rooms, so a little preparation helps.
- Remove all belongings, including items in the fridge, pantry, balcony and storage cage.
- Take down anything you stuck or hung on walls, and clear shelves and drawers.
- Take out rubbish and any unwanted furniture, as we clean the property rather than clear it.
- Make sure power and water are still connected, because the oven, dishwasher and bathrooms need them.
- Arrange access to the apartment, building and any garage or car space.
In a share house, agree in advance who is handing over keys and who will be there, so nobody’s things are left behind.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the clean is finished and compare it with your entry condition report. If carpets were steam cleaned, they are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, but keep the heavy furniture and boxes out until they are fully dry.
Then lodge your keys and attend the final inspection. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, contact us. Under our written 7-day re-clean guarantee we return and fix it free of charge.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora, servicing Melbourne metro suburbs. Our work is professional bond cleaning to the REIV exit condition standard, with carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning available alongside it. We would rather give you a clear scope and a firm price than a vague promise.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. Most of the variation comes from a few things:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- How much grease has built up in the oven, cooktop and range hood
- Limescale in bathrooms and the laundry
- The number of windows and whether you add window cleaning
- The number of carpeted rooms and any stains or pet odour
- Whether there is a garage or storage area to sweep
A one-bedroom apartment that has been kept tidy will not be priced like a multi-bedroom house after years of shared use. Because end of lease cleaning prices vary with these details, we ask for them before quoting.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money and suits a small, well-kept unit if you have the time and the right products. The trouble is that the tasks agents look at closely, such as oven interiors, descaling, tracks and inside cupboards, take longer than most people expect. In a share house there is also the question of who does what and whether everyone turns up.
Booking end of lease cleaners means one price, one scope and a written guarantee, so there is less to argue about between housemates. Whichever way you go, work from the REIV exit condition standard and your own entry report.
A checklist to hand us
Have these details ready when you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form:
- Your address and whether it is an apartment or a house
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- Number of carpeted rooms, plus any stains or pet odours
- Roughly how many windows you have
- Your move-out date and inspection date, if you know them
- Any items your agent flagged in the entry or exit paperwork
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, your quote and your receipt together with your entry condition report and tenancy agreement. If everyone in the share house is on the lease, make sure each person has a copy. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue, you will have the dates and the scope to hand, and you can contact us within the 7-day window.
