Moving out of a rental in Upwey (postcode 3158) 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 Upwey, using what we state on our site.
Covering Upwey
Upwey is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It sits in Melbourne’s outer east, in the Dandenong Ranges foothills, and we are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send details through the free quote form.
Upwey has a station on the Belgrave line and a shopping strip close to it. The housing is mostly detached houses, with some units and a smaller number of apartments. So house end of lease cleaning is the more likely job here, while apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same checklist on a smaller footprint. We also work in nearby Tecoma and Belgrave.

- The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard and backed by our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
If you want an end of lease cleaning quote that matches your property, have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms ready, and mention any pets or heavy build-up.
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 property. Call 0401 398 705 for a price based on your home.
If you are searching for cheap end of lease cleaning in Upwey, the lowest number on a page tells you little. Compare what each quote includes, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for any carpet work. A low price that leaves out the oven or the window tracks can cost more once the agent’s list arrives.
What is included
Our vacate cleaning is built around what agents check at the final inspection. It 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
This is the scope behind what some people call exit cleaning or move out cleaning. If you are comparing professional bond cleaners, ask each one for their inclusions in writing and check them against this list.
Deciding what to bundle
Most tenancy agreements ask for carpets to be professionally cleaned, so many tenants book end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning. Our carpet steam cleaning is truck-mounted hot water extraction, 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.
Windows are priced from $8 per window. If your lease or the agent’s checklist mentions glass, end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning is straightforward to arrange. Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are already part of the standard clean, so ask us what the window price adds for your property.
Count the rooms and windows before you call, and we can give you a clearer total.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning, and we cannot promise weekend end of lease cleaning without checking the diary first. If your keys are due back soon, or you want a weekend slot, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is open.
A useful rule is to book once you know your vacate date. Aim for a time after your furniture is out and before the final inspection, so there is room to fix anything that comes up.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few things make the clean quicker and the result better:
- Remove all furniture, rubbish and personal items, including from the garage.
- Empty the fridge and pantry, and switch the fridge off if it is being left clean.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Take down curtains or blinds you own, and leave the ones that belong to the property.
- Tell us about stained carpet, pet areas or anything unusual.
Cleaners work best in an empty property. Items left in cupboards or on benches slow things down and can affect the result.
After the clean
Once the clean is finished, do a walk-through with the agent’s checklist. If carpets were steamed, they are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, but keep shoes off them until you are sure.
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 wording so we know exactly what to address.
On bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning, we want to be clear. We do not guarantee the return of your bond, because that decision belongs to the agent and the owner. What we guarantee is the re-clean.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora, servicing metro suburbs including Upwey. We do end of tenancy cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning, and our bond cleans are done to the REIV exit condition standard.
If you are weighing up the best end of lease cleaning option for your move, we would rather you judge us on the written inclusions, the guarantee and the price per room than on a slogan.
What affects the price
Our starting price is from $280, and the final quote depends on property size and condition. Factors that commonly change the figure include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is a house or an apartment, and whether there is a garage
- Condition of the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- Number of windows and the state of the tracks
- Carpeted rooms and any stains or pet odour
When you look at end of lease cleaning prices in Upwey, ask for the total with carpets and windows included so you are comparing like with like.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money if you have the time and the right products. The trouble is that ovens, range hoods, window tracks and descaling take longer than most people expect, and they are the areas agents often check closely.
Booking professional bond cleaners makes sense if you are working, studying or moving across town. It also suits a share house, where several tenants share one bond and the clean tends to slip down everyone’s list. A single booking with a written guarantee can be easier than agreeing who does the oven.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, give us the following and the quote will be quicker:
- Property type: house, unit or apartment
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and number of living areas
- Carpeted rooms, and any stains or pet odour
- Approximate number of windows
- Your vacate date and the date of the final inspection
- A copy of the agent’s cleaning list, if you have one
For share houses, nominate one person to deal with us, and tell us if housemates are moving out on different days. If you are a student with a lease ending soon, share the date early so we can look at the diary.
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, booking confirmation, payment receipt and the written re-clean guarantee together. Add your entry condition report and the agent’s exit checklist.
If the agent raises a cleaning issue, you will have everything in one place and can show the date the clean was done. Remember the 7-day window for the re-clean, and take dated photos of the finished property before you hand back the keys.
