Moving out of a rental in Strathewen (postcode 3099) 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, for anyone organising end of lease cleaning Strathewen property managers will inspect. It follows the order an inspector usually walks through, room by room.
Covering Strathewen
Strathewen is a small, semi-rural locality in Melbourne’s north-east, close to Hurstbridge and Arthurs Creek. Rentals in an area like this tend to be houses rather than apartments, so house end of lease cleaning is the more typical job. Apartment end of lease cleaning is still something we do across the metro area if that is what you are vacating.
Strathewen is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. We are based in Bundoora, and you can book by phone or through the quote form.
From quote to booking
Getting an end of lease cleaning quote is meant to be simple. The process works like this:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property, not a vague range.
- You book a time. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your clean comes with our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
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, so please call for a price on your specific property.
If you are searching for cheap end of lease cleaning in Strathewen, or for the best end of lease cleaning, we would rather you compare what matters than rely on a headline figure. Check what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for extras such as carpets. End of lease cleaning prices only mean something when the inclusions are the same.
What is included
Property managers usually compare the property with the entry condition report and check it room by room. Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard, and the inclusions line up with the areas inspectors look at most closely:
- Kitchen: inside cupboards and drawers, oven, cooktop, range hood and dishwasher. Built-up grease in the oven and on the range hood is a common thing to be flagged.
- Bathrooms and laundry: descaling of tiles, taps, screens and fixtures, where soap scum and limescale tend to show.
- Bedrooms and living areas: inside wardrobes and built-in storage, which are often missed in a rushed clean.
- Windows: tracks, sills and flyscreens, where dust and dead insects gather.
- Garage: sweep and cobweb removal.
This is the kind of checklist that professional bond cleaners work through, and it covers vacate cleaning, exit cleaning and move out cleaning under the one booking.
Deciding what to bundle
Many leases require carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. 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. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. The tracks, sills and flyscreens are part of the clean itself, so ask us on the quote how the glass is handled for your property. End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or with oven and window cleaning, can be quoted together so you have one booking and one set of dates.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary, and it changes from week to week. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning. If your handover date is close, call 0401 398 705 early and we will tell you what is realistic.
When you call, have your key return date and inspection date ready. It helps us work backwards from the day the agent will walk through.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean can only be done properly in an empty property. A little preparation saves time:
- Remove all furniture, personal belongings and rubbish, including from cupboards, the garage and the laundry.
- Make sure we can get in, and that power and water are connected.
- Let us know about pets, as that affects carpets and odour treatment.
- Handle any garden, lawn or outdoor tidying yourself. It is not part of the inclusions above.
After the clean
Once we finish, do a walk-through using the same room-by-room order the agent will. Open the oven, look inside a wardrobe, check the shower and the window tracks.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our written 7-day re-clean guarantee. We are clear about its limits: it is a re-clean guarantee, not a bond back guarantee. End of lease cleaning cannot promise what a bond decision will be, because that depends on the whole condition of the property.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based cleaning business servicing Melbourne metro suburbs, including Strathewen. We focus on bond, vacate and end of tenancy cleaning, with carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning offered alongside. The simplest way to reach us is by phone on 0401 398 705, or through the quote form if you would rather write.
What affects the price
Every end of lease cleaning quote is based on the property in front of us. These are the main factors:
- The size of the property and the number of bathrooms.
- Its general condition, particularly the oven, range hood, shower areas and windows.
- How many rooms of carpet need steam cleaning, and whether there are pet odours.
- How many windows you want cleaned.
The final quote depends on property size and condition, which is why we ask for details instead of quoting a number blind.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing it yourself can work for a small, well-kept place if you have the time and are willing to tackle the oven, descaling and tracks. The difficulty is usually not the visible surfaces but the detail an inspector checks, and the lack of any come-back if something is missed.
Booking professional help makes more sense if you are juggling a move, have a large house, or want a written guarantee behind the work. Weigh the cost against your time and the risk of a second round of cleaning.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes a quote quicker and more accurate:
- The property address and whether it is a house or apartment.
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Number of carpeted rooms, and any pet odours or stains.
- Approximate number of windows.
- Whether there is a garage or outbuilding.
- Your key handover date and inspection date.
- Any cleaning list your agent has supplied.
Keeping your paperwork
Hold on to your quote, invoice and the written 7-day guarantee. Keep your entry and exit condition reports as well, along with dated photos of the property after the clean. If the agent raises a cleaning point, you will have everything you need to contact us within the 7 days.
