Moving out of a rental in Wildwood 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 Wildwood tenants, using what we state on our site. It also covers the quirks of older and period-style homes, which are often what trip tenants up at the final inspection.
Covering Wildwood
Wildwood is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, in Melbourne’s north-west. We are based in Bundoora, so you are dealing with a Melbourne business rather than a national call centre. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send your details through our free quote form.
Rentals in this part of Melbourne are mostly standalone houses rather than apartment blocks, and some of them are older. If you are leaving an apartment elsewhere, the scope is the same, so apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same checklist as house end of lease cleaning. The difference is mainly the time needed. Neighbouring areas such as Bulla and Diggers Rest are also within the metro area we service.
From quote to booking
The process is short, and you will know the price before you commit.
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes.
- Or fill in the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price based on the property’s size and condition, not a vague range.
- You choose a date. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard, backed by our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
If you are comparing an end of lease cleaning quote from several companies, ask each one for the same details: what is included, whether the guarantee is written down, and how carpets are priced.
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 home. A small, tidy unit and a larger family house with years of build-up are different jobs, so we ask you to call for a price.
People searching for end of lease cleaning prices in Wildwood often add the word “cheap”. We would rather you compare like with like than chase the lowest number. A low price that leaves out the oven, the window tracks or any written guarantee can cost more once the agent sends a list of faults. Compare these things:
- what the price includes room by room
- whether the guarantee is in writing
- the price per room for carpet cleaning
- whether the cleaners work to the REIV exit condition standard
What is included
Our vacate cleaning covers the areas property managers check most closely on an exit inspection:
- 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 of a professional bond clean. It works as a checklist for the whole property, whether you call it move out cleaning, exit cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. If you have something unusual in the property, mention it when you call so we can tell you what it will involve.
Older homes and period details
Older houses often look charming and still fail an inspection on small things. If your rental has period features, these are worth checking before the clean.
- Timber window frames and sash windows. Tracks and sills collect dust, paint flakes and dead insects over many years. Our window clean includes tracks, sills and flyscreens.
- Old bathrooms. Original tiles, cast-iron or enamel baths and older taps tend to hold limescale. Descaling the bathroom and laundry is part of the clean.
- Built-in cupboards and wardrobes. Older joinery has deep shelves and corners where dust settles. Everything inside the cupboards, drawers and wardrobes is cleaned.
- High ceilings and cornices. Cobwebs gather in corners and around light fittings. Mention any areas you are worried about.
- Separate garages and sheds. Many older properties have detached garages. The garage sweep and cobweb removal covers the garage.
Clean surfaces do not hide wear and tear. Older homes have marks that no cleaner can fix, and a landlord or agent may judge those differently from dirt. That is a conversation between you and your property manager.
Deciding what to bundle
Most agents expect the carpets and windows to be professionally cleaned as well. Many tenants ask us for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning. The oven is already part of the standard clean, and these are the add-ons:
- Carpet steam cleaning: truck-mounted hot water extraction from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if needed. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
- Window cleaning: from $8 per window.
Older houses often have more rooms and more windows than a modern unit, so count them before you compare quotes. Check your lease and any exit instructions to see whether carpet cleaning is required. Bundling everything into one booking also means one point of contact if the property manager raises something later.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and it varies with the time of year and how many tenants are moving out. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning. If your move-out date is close, call 0401 398 705 early and we will tell you what is possible. The same applies to weekend end of lease cleaning: ask when you call, and do not assume a weekend slot is available.
The best timing is after your furniture is out and before the final inspection. Cleaning around boxes and a half-packed kitchen is slow and leaves gaps. Booking the clean for after the removalists have finished is the simplest way to get a proper result.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation helps the clean go smoothly.
- Remove all your belongings, including items in the garage, wardrobes and under the sink.
- Empty the fridge and freezer if they are staying with the property, and clear the bins.
- Make sure the cleaners have access to power and water.
- Take down any picture hooks or hanging items you plan to remove, and patch only what your lease allows you to.
- Tell us about anything that needs special attention, such as pet areas or heavy build-up.
If you have pets and want carpets treated, say so when you book so pet odour treatment can be included in the quote.
After the clean
Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours, but avoid carrying boxes or furniture over them while they are damp. Do a final walk-through and photograph each room, so you have a record of the condition on the day.
Our 7-day re-clean guarantee is in writing. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. Some tenants search for a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning service. We do not guarantee the return of your bond, because that decision is made by the landlord, agent or tenancy authority. The guarantee we give is the re-clean.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business, and we work as professional bond cleaners across the metro area. We clean to the REIV exit condition standard, and we put the guarantee in writing so you know exactly what is covered. The aim is a clean that matches what the agent will check on the inspection day, nothing more elaborate than that.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on the property’s size and condition. Here is what we look at:
- the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- the overall condition, particularly the oven, bathrooms and any heavy build-up
- how many windows and how many carpeted rooms you want cleaned
- whether you need pet odour treatment
- whether there is a garage or other outbuilding to be swept
An older home that has not had a deep clean for years may take longer than a newer one of the same size. A phone call lets us ask the right questions and give a firm price.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, and some tenants do it well. The risk is time and detail: ovens, range hoods, window tracks and limescale in an older bathroom take more effort than most people expect, and you will probably be juggling a move at the same time. If an agent finds missed areas, you may have to go back or pay for a clean.
Booking professionals costs more upfront, but you get a set price, a clear list of inclusions and a written re-clean guarantee. Weigh it up against your time and the size of your bond. Whichever you pick, compare the real costs, not only the headline price.
A checklist to hand us
When you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form, have these details ready:
- the address and whether it is a house, unit or apartment
- number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- number of carpeted rooms and number of windows
- any period features, such as sash windows, an older bathroom or a detached garage
- pets, and whether you need odour treatment
- your move-out date and inspection date, if you have them
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your invoice, your written guarantee and your photos together until your bond has been finalised. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue, send us the details within the 7-day window and we will arrange the re-clean. Also keep your entry condition report, since it is the document the exit inspection is compared against.
