Moving out of a rental in Watsons Creek (postcode 3097) 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. If you are looking for end of lease cleaning Watsons Creek, it is written with older homes in mind, where the small details usually take the time.
Covering Watsons Creek
Watsons Creek is a semi-rural locality in Nillumbik Shire, in Melbourne’s north-east, and rentals there are mostly houses rather than apartments. Kangaroo Ground and Eltham are nearby. We are based in Bundoora, and Watsons Creek is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. You can book by phone or through the free quote form.
If you are renting an older or period-style home, expect a vacate clean to be detailed. Timber floors, timber-framed windows, picture rails, deep skirting boards and original fittings all hold dust, and they are worth checking before the final inspection.
From quote to booking
- 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, based on its size and condition.
- Book in. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing.
Asking for an end of lease cleaning quote before you give notice, or as soon as you know your exit date, gives you time to plan the rest of the move around it.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate. The final quote depends on property size and condition, so a large older house will be quoted differently from a small unit. Call 0401 398 705 for a price on your property.
If you are comparing cheap end of lease cleaning offers, the headline number tells you little on its own. Compare what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. Clear, itemised end of lease cleaning prices make that comparison simple.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard and covers:
- Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven
- Cooktop
- Range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
In an older home, the windows, tracks and sills often need the most attention, as do built-in cupboards and long-used wardrobes. If your rental has something unusual, such as a wood heater, an original fireplace or a cellar, mention it when you call so it can be discussed before the price is confirmed. We do not assume it is covered.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpet steam cleaning is a separate service, from $35/room. It uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available, and carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. Many tenancy agreements require professional carpet cleaning at exit, so end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is a common combination. Check your lease and your agent’s instructions.
Window cleaning is priced from $8/window. Count your windows before you call, because older houses can have more of them than a modern unit. Ask how this fits with the windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens in the standard clean, so the quote is clear about what is counted. The oven is already part of the standard clean, so end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning only needs the windows discussed.
Picking a time
Many tenants want same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning. We cannot promise any of these. Availability depends on the diary, so call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is possible for your dates.
The practical advice is to ring once you know your vacate date, and to aim for the clean to happen after your belongings are out and before the final inspection. Carpets also need a few hours to dry, so do not leave that step to the last minute.
Before the cleaner arrives
- Remove all furniture, belongings and rubbish, including from the garage, wardrobes and cupboards.
- Make sure the cleaners can get into every room, the laundry and the garage.
- Keep power and water connected until the clean is finished.
- Tell us about pets, as pet odour in carpets can be treated.
- Note any damage or marks that are not cleaning issues, such as worn paint or cracked tiles.
Leaving a place empty makes the work faster and the result easier to check.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the clean is finished, ideally with your entry condition report in hand. Take dated photos of each room, the oven, the bathroom and the windows.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our guarantee, and it is in writing. We do not offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning, because the bond decision rests with the landlord or agent and can involve things cleaning does not fix, such as damage or unpaid rent.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora. We provide Bond & End of Lease Cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning across the Melbourne metro area. Our end of lease cleaners work to the REIV exit condition standard, and you can reach us on 0401 398 705.
What affects the price
The starting price is only the start. Your final quote depends on:
- The size of the property and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- The condition it is in, including built-up grease or limescale
- The number of carpeted rooms to be steam cleaned
- The number of windows
- Whether pet odour treatment is needed
Apartment end of lease cleaning is usually quicker to quote than house end of lease cleaning because there are fewer rooms and often no garage. In Watsons Creek, where houses are the more usual rental, a larger floor plan or extra living areas will be reflected in the price. The same applies to end of tenancy cleaning for any property with several bathrooms.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing the move out cleaning yourself can work for a small, well-kept place if you have the time, the products and a clear idea of the standard your agent expects. The oven, range hood, bathroom limescale and window tracks are the usual trouble spots, and carpet steam cleaning needs specialist equipment.
Booking professional bond cleaners makes sense when you are short of time, the home is older with more to clean, or you want a written guarantee behind the work. If you are searching for the best end of lease cleaning, look at the inclusions list, how the guarantee works, and the price per room, rather than relying on a label.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the call quicker and the quote more accurate:
- The property address and postcode
- Whether it is an apartment or a house, and roughly how old it is
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms and windows
- Condition of the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- Any pets
- Your vacate date and, if known, your final inspection date
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, the quote, your receipt and your photos together with your entry and exit condition reports. If your agent raises a cleaning point, you will have a record to point to, and you can contact us within the 7-day window. Good records also make exit cleaning questions easy to resolve if anything is disputed later.
