- Oven
- Cooktop
- Range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling

Picking a time

Work back from your handover. Keys are usually due on the vacate date, and the agent’s inspection follows. The clean should happen after your furniture is out, and carpets are usually best done last so they are not walked over by removalists. For a family move, that often means the cleaning window is short, which is a good reason to ring early.
Before the cleaner arrives
Move out cleaning works best in an empty property. A few things will help:
- Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, including from wardrobes, cupboards and the garage.
- Make sure the cleaners can get in, and that power and water are connected.
- Tell us about pets, so we can discuss odour treatment for carpets.
- Point out anything unusual, such as a heavily used oven or a hard-water build-up in a bathroom.
- Have your agent’s cleaning requirements on hand if they have supplied any.
Clearing children’s rooms and the garage tends to take longer than people expect, so leave time for it before the clean.
After the clean
Your agent or property manager will inspect the property against your entry condition report. If they raise a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That promise is in writing.
We do not sell a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning Upper Ferntree Gully, because the bond decision belongs to the agent and the landlord, not to us. What we stand behind is the 7-day re-clean. If something is raised, contact us promptly and pass on the agent’s comments so we know what to look at.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business servicing metro suburbs. Vacate cleaning, exit cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning are different names for the same job: leaving the property clean enough to pass the final inspection. Our focus is that job, done to the REIV exit condition standard and covered by a written re-clean guarantee. Our end of lease cleaners work from the inclusions list on this page, so you know what to expect.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- How much work the oven, cooktop and range hood need
- Limescale in bathrooms and the laundry
- Number of carpeted rooms, at $35 per room
- Number of windows, at $8 per window
- Whether pet odour treatment is needed
Families leaving a larger house usually pay more simply because there is more to clean, not because anything is charged differently. A house that has been kept up through the tenancy generally takes less effort than one that has not.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, but the time and standard are the trade-off. A large rental can take a full day or more, on top of packing, and the oven, descaling and carpets are the areas where agents tend to look closely. Hiring equipment for carpets also adds cost and effort.
Booking suits you if your time is tight, you have several carpeted rooms, or you want the guarantee in writing. If you are weighing up who offers the best end of lease cleaning Upper Ferntree Gully, do not rely on the label. Compare what each quote includes, whether the guarantee is written down, and the price per room for carpets.
