Covering Watsonia North
Watsonia North is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, in Melbourne’s north-east. We are based in Bundoora, and the Watsonia shops and train station are nearby reference points for the area. Housing is mostly detached houses with some units and townhouses, so we price house end of lease cleaning and apartment end of lease cleaning by size and condition, not by a flat label.
This page looks at older homes in particular. If you are leaving a period-style or mid-century house, the clean has a few extra details, which we cover below. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.

What the price starts from

When people compare end of lease cleaning prices Watsonia North, the headline number rarely tells the whole story. If you are weighing up cheap end of lease cleaning, put the quotes side by side and check what each one includes, whether the re-clean guarantee is in writing, and what the price per room is for carpets. A low figure that leaves out the oven, the windows or the follow-up visit can cost you more later.
What is included
Our vacate cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the benchmark most property managers use when they inspect. 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
In an older home, these are the areas that tend to get attention at inspection. Window tracks and sills collect years of dust, built-in wardrobes and kitchen cupboards often have layered residue, and bathroom tiles and fittings can carry heavy limescale. Our professional bond cleaners work through each of them as part of the standard clean.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants book end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Watsonia North in the same visit, because most agents look at carpet condition closely. 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.
If you are after end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, note that the oven, windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are already part of the standard clean. Separate window cleaning starts from $8 per window. Mention your window count when you call and we will explain how the two fit together for your property.
Picking a time
Your handover date sets the deadline, so work backwards from it. Booking dates depend on our diary. We cannot promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Watsonia North. If you need any of those, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is open.
If you are adding carpets, allow for the few hours they need to dry. Plan the clean after your furniture is out and before the final inspection, with a little room to spare in case something needs another look.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few steps make the clean go more smoothly:
- Remove all belongings, furniture and rubbish, including items in the garage and laundry.
- Empty the fridge and pantry, and take down anything you hung or fixed to the walls.
- Make sure we have access, and that power and water are on.
- Open and close the windows once. In older frames, a sticky sash or stiff track is better found now than at inspection.
- Tell us about pets, heavy stains or marks you already know about.
Cleaning is not repair work. If an older home has damage beyond cleaning, such as worn fittings or flaking paint, check your lease and entry condition report on how that is treated.
After the clean
Walk through before the inspection if you can, and compare the property against your entry condition report. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. Get in touch with us promptly and pass on what the agent has listed.
You may see bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning offered around Melbourne. We do not guarantee that you will get your bond back, because that decision sits with the agent, the landlord and the condition of the property. What we guarantee, in writing, is the 7-day re-clean.

If you search for the best end of lease cleaning Watsonia North, you will find plenty of claims. We would rather you compare end of lease cleaners on inclusions, the written guarantee and the price per room, then choose the one that fits your situation.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on the size and condition of the property. These are the main factors:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- Whether it is a house or an apartment, and its overall size
- How much build-up there is in the oven, bathrooms and tracks
- The number of carpeted rooms, if you add steam cleaning
- The number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- Whether pet odour treatment is needed
Older homes can sit at either end. A well-kept house may need little beyond the standard clean, while one with years of built-up residue takes longer. That is why we ask a few questions and give a firm price instead of guessing.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself can work if you have the time, the right products and a clear idea of the REIV exit condition standard. The hard parts are usually the oven, limescale on bathroom fittings, window tracks and carpets. Hot water extraction is difficult to match without the right machine.
Booking suits you if you are juggling packing, work and a handover deadline, or if you want the re-clean guarantee in writing as a safety net. Neither choice is wrong. It comes down to your time, the property and how much risk you want to carry at inspection.
A checklist to hand us
Have these details ready when you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the form, and the quote will be quicker and more accurate:
- The property address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and any extra living areas
- Which rooms are carpeted, and whether you want steam cleaning
- Roughly how many windows you want cleaned
- Pets, and any known stains or odours
- The condition of the oven and bathrooms
- Your handover or inspection date, and how we get access
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, your invoice and the written 7-day re-clean guarantee together with your lease and entry condition report. Take dated photos of the property after the clean, particularly the oven, bathrooms, windows and carpets. If the agent raises a question later, you will have the details on hand and can pass them to us straight away.
