Moving out of a rental in The Basin (postcode 3154) 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 for end of lease cleaning The Basin tenants, using what we state on our site.
Covering The Basin
The Basin is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It sits in the outer east, at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. We are based in Bundoora and travel to you, so you can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.
The suburb is mostly detached houses, with fewer apartments. That means house end of lease cleaning is the more common job here, though apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same process. Tenants in neighbouring Boronia and Ferntree Gully use the same service.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. A phone quote usually takes under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form, and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property, so you know the figure before you commit.
- Choose a date. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing.
If you want an end of lease cleaning quote that matches your property, have the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and carpeted rooms ready.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a fixed price for every home. Call for a price based on your place.
If you are searching for cheap end of lease cleaning The Basin, the headline number alone will not tell you much. Compare what each quote includes, whether the guarantee is in writing, and what carpets cost per room. A low price that leaves out the oven or the window tracks can cost more once you add the extras. Anyone comparing end of lease cleaning prices should line up the same inclusions first.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. This is the scope that professional bond cleaners work through for an exit clean:
- 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
Whether your agent calls it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning or move out cleaning, the aim is the same: leave the property clean enough to match the condition report. The term end of tenancy cleaning describes the same job.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are often the deciding factor, especially if you have lived with a dog or cat. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available, so mention any pets when you call. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning means one booking and one point of contact. Houses near the ranges and bushland can bring in extra dirt, which tends to show up on carpet near entries and hallways.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. For end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, the oven is already part of the standard clean, and windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are listed in the inclusions above. Ask when you call how your glass would be handled and priced.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise a particular day in advance. If your vacate date is close, call 0401 398 705 early so we can tell you what is realistic.
The same applies to same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning and weekend end of lease cleaning The Basin requests. We cannot promise any of them, but a call is the quickest way to find out what the diary allows. Most tenants find it easier to book as soon as the move-out date is confirmed, and to line the clean up with the final inspection.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes the clean more effective and keeps the cost down.
- Remove your belongings, rubbish and anything left in cupboards and the garage.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Arrange access, whether that is you, a key lockbox or the agent.
- Take pets elsewhere on the day, along with bedding, bowls and litter trays.
- Point out any pet stains or smells on the carpet so they can be treated.
Furniture should be out of the rooms, as carpets cannot be properly cleaned underneath it.
After the clean
Do a walk-through, room by room, and compare it with your condition report. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That 7-day re-clean guarantee is given in writing.
You may see bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning offered elsewhere. We do not guarantee a bond result, because that decision is not ours to make. What we guarantee is the re-clean. Steam-cleaned carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, so you can finish handing over keys without waiting long.

What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. These are the usual factors:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- How much grease has built up in the oven, cooktop and range hood
- Limescale in bathrooms and the laundry
- The number of carpeted rooms and any pet stains or odours
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- Whether the garage needs more than a sweep
A rental that has been maintained regularly is quicker to clean than one that has not. Being upfront about condition helps us give you a price that holds.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money if you have the time, the equipment and the patience for oven racks and window tracks. The risk is a missed item at the final inspection, and carpets are the hardest part to do well without extraction equipment.
Booking end of lease cleaners makes sense when you are juggling a move, work or a pet household with carpets to treat. Instead of asking who offers the best end of lease cleaning The Basin, ask what is included, whether the guarantee is written down, and what the carpets cost per room. Those three answers separate one quote from another more reliably than any label.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the free quote form, these details help us price accurately:
- Property address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and number of carpeted rooms
- Pets, and any known stains or odours
- Approximate number of windows, if you want them cleaned
- Your vacate date and final inspection date
- Anything specific from your agent’s cleaning list
Keeping your paperwork
Keep the quote, the invoice and the written 7-day re-clean guarantee together with your lease documents. Add your condition report, the agent’s cleaning requirements and a few dated photos of each room after the clean. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue, send it to us promptly, because the guarantee covers issues raised within 7 days.
