AT A GLANCE

End of lease and vacate cleaning in Melbourne at a glance

A detailed clean of an empty home before you hand back the keys, to a checklist that covers inside the oven, cupboards and wardrobes, interior windows and walls wiped down.

  • Price

    From $423. A 3 bed, 2 bath home is $519: our prices are the same in every city we clean.

    See your price
  • Time

    We book 5h 30m of cleaner time for a 3 bed, 2 bath home. A team of two shares it, so they’re on site for about half as long.

  • Your bond

    No cleaner can guarantee your bond back: a claim can also cover rent and damage. What we stand behind is the checklist. Tell us within 48 hours if anything on it was missed, and an eligible re-clean is free under our Care & Cover terms.

  • Not included

    Exterior windows and mould removal. Carpet steam cleaning isn’t in the base price: add it in booking or book it on its own, and keep the receipt if your lease asks for it.

REMOVALISTS, KEYS AND THE INSPECTION

When to book your end of lease clean

Book it for after the removalists have finished and, where you can, a few days before the final inspection. That leaves time to walk through, tell us within 48 hours if anything on the checklist was missed, and have it fixed before the agent arrives.

  • An empty home

    The clean is planned for an empty property, so cupboards, wardrobes and the space behind appliances can be reached. Furniture or boxes left behind limit what can be cleaned.

  • Power and water on

    Keep the electricity and water connected until the clean is done. Without them the clean can’t go ahead, and a fee may apply.

  • Keys and access

    We don’t hold keys. Leave a lockbox code or meet the cleaner, and book any lift, loading dock or visitor access in advance.

  • Parking

    Arrange a visitor space or add parking instructions; where there’s nowhere to park, the clean may need to be rescheduled.

  • Your agent’s checklist

    If your property manager gave you an exit checklist, add it to your booking notes so the cleaner can see what will be inspected.

GOOD TO KNOW BEFOREHAND

Outside the usual scope

Mould removal, hazardous waste, heavy lifting, high-reach areas and chandeliers aren’t part of these domestic cleans. Repairs, pest control and gardening need separate arrangements.

Carpet steam cleaning isn’t part of the clean itself; vacuuming is included. You can add carpet steam cleaning in booking or book it on its own. If your lease asks for a professional carpet clean, keep the receipt.

Regrouting, sealing, exterior windows and other specialist work aren’t part of our cleans. A balcony, patio or garage can be added as an extra; ask the team about anything else before booking.

WHO WE WELCOME INTO YOUR HOME

Experienced cleaners. Thoughtful checks.

We look for people who already know how to clean professionally and are committed to quality service. Our application process checks who they are, how they work and whether they are ready for the services they offer.

  1. Identity verification

    Cleaners complete an identity check before they can be approved to take bookings.

  2. Professional cleaning checks

    New applicants tell us about their professional cleaning experience, skills and equipment for the services they offer. Answers that need a closer look are flagged for review.

  3. Mandatory safety checks

    Every cleaner completes practical safety questions covering cleaning products, surface care and keeping bathroom and kitchen cloths separate. Safety answers that need attention must be resolved before they can take new jobs.

  4. Phone screening

    We screen every applicant over the phone before approval.

  5. Online orientation

    Our signup flow includes three short cleaning videos with quizzes covering kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.

  6. Quality & ratings checks

    Our checks continue after approval. Customers can rate every clean. We closely monitor each cleaner’s ratings and feedback, and follow up when a clean falls short.

  7. A personal quality promise

    Each cleaner personally accepts our quality agreement for the services they offer during signup and skills setup. They commit to doing their best to deliver a premium clean and returning at no extra charge if you report a cleaning concern or leave a low rating within 48 hours of your clean ending. The 48 hours is for reporting a concern; the return visit is arranged afterwards.

Team members complete their own checks and make their own quality promise. A team leader’s experience does not replace each cleaner’s personal skills, safety checks or identity verification.

Care & Cover

A little more peace of mind.

Every clean comes with Care & Cover: our Happiness Guarantee, published insurance cover and a team to turn to.

  1. 01The Happiness GuaranteeIf something on the booked list isn't right, tell us within 48 hours. We arrange a complimentary re-clean of those areas within seven business days, and if you're still unhappy we review it and offer a fair credit or refund.
  2. 02Up to $10 million public liability insuranceOur service terms describe up to $10 million in public liability insurance through Chubb Insurance Australia. If something is damaged, send a photo and a reasonable estimate, and it goes through the separate damage and insurance process.
  3. 03A team to turn toCall 1300 009 363, Monday to Saturday, 9 to 5, or get help online. You pay after your clean, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

Care & Cover isn't an insurance policy, and conditions apply: a re-clean doesn't apply when a clean couldn't go ahead as booked, such as no access, water or power. Care & Cover, in full · Service terms

About these figures

These figures describe recorded completed end of lease cleans in Melbourne, including historical bookings. Repeat visits count separately, so this counts cleans rather than homes. Your own address and date are checked when you book. Older bookings are grouped by the service they most closely match. Home sizes use the 173 records that carry a bedroom count; hourly bookings carry none.

GOOD TO KNOW

End of lease cleaning in Melbourne: your questions

Ask us anything
01How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Melbourne?

Our prices are the same in every city we serve, shown in full online before you book, with no in-home quote. See Melbourne cleaning prices.

02Do you clean period features in Melbourne homes?

We dust skirting boards, picture frames, light fittings and cobwebs in ceiling corners. Cornices and ceiling roses beyond safe reach of a two-step ladder aren’t included, and neither is fireplace cleaning. Tell us about period features when you book.

03Can you remove bathroom mould before my final inspection?

Mould removal isn’t part of our clean. We clean tiles, grout and silicone on the checklist, but mould that has grown in needs a specialist, and mould from a building fault is a repair matter for the rental provider.

04Do apartment buildings need lift access booked?

Most Melbourne towers do. Owners corporations often require the service lift to be booked and limit hours, so confirm the window with your building manager when you book.

05Does a professional clean guarantee my bond back?

No. We stand behind the clean: report anything on our checklist within 48 hours and an eligible re-clean is completed within seven business days of the original clean. A bond claim can also cover rent, damage and other matters outside cleaning, and it’s decided against your condition report. Read the Care & Cover terms.

06Is carpet steam cleaning included?

Not in the base price. Vacuuming is included, and carpet steam cleaning is a separately selected extra: choose your carpeted rooms in booking, or book it on its own. If your lease or a pet condition asks for a professional carpet clean, keep the receipt for your property manager.

07Can I book this before moving into a home?

Yes. A move-in clean is the same package, booked for an empty home after you get the keys and before the furniture arrives.

08Are your cleaners insured?

Yes. Every cleaner is identity-verified before their first clean, and our service terms describe up to $10 million in public liability insurance through Chubb Insurance Australia. If something is damaged, send us a photo and a reasonable estimate within 48 hours and it goes through our damage and insurance process. Care & Cover, in full.

MELBOURNE · LOCAL SCOPE

What an exit clean involves in Melbourne

Melbourne's housing stock is old in the inner suburbs and new on the fringe, and exit cleans differ sharply between them. Period homes through Carlton, Fitzroy, Brunswick and Northcote bring the details agents look for: ornate cornices, ceiling roses, deep skirtings, hydronic panel radiators, original hearths, and single-glazed sash windows whose tracks and putty lines collect years of dust. Southbank, Docklands and the CBD towers are the opposite problem, where the work concentrates in floor-to-ceiling glass, balcony sliders, European laundries stacked into a cupboard, and building access that has to be booked through the owners corporation. Out through the eastern and western growth corridors you get larger newer homes where the volume is in second bathrooms, walk-in robes, flyscreens and double garages. Damp winters also bring bathroom and window-reveal mould; mould removal isn’t part of our clean, so raise it early.

Packed moving boxes and keys in an empty Australian rental, with timber floors and an open kitchen doorway.

Before your end of lease clean: the moving-day list

A smoother handover
starts here.

A few practical things to organise while we take care of the cleaning list.

Read the moving checklist
  1. Book around your move

    Choose a date after the removalists and before the inspection. Leave time for any cleaning follow-up before you hand back the keys.

  2. Empty the property

    Remove belongings, rubbish and furniture. Empty cupboards and wardrobes, and prepare any appliances included in the clean.

  3. Arrange access and utilities

    Keep water and electricity connected. Add entry instructions and parking details, and share any agent checklist with the team.

  4. Check the agreed scope

    Confirm carpet steam cleaning or specialist work separately. Tell us about areas needing extra attention before the visit.

Book around an accessible home. Keep removal, cleaning and inspection as separate steps.

An empty-home clean works best when access and utilities are arranged. If carpet extraction is booked, plan drying separately. Cleaning does not guarantee a bond result.

IF SOMETHING IS MISSED

How our re-clean works, step by step

Tell us within 48 hours of the clean finishing. That is the reporting window, not when we come back: an eligible re-clean is then arranged at no charge and, under our terms, completed within seven business days of the original clean.

  • 1. Report it within 48 hours

    Send your booking details and the areas that need attention. Photos and your agent’s notes help, and we may ask for them.

  • 2. We check it against your booking

    The team compares what you raise with the checklist you booked.

  • 3. We come back to fix it

    For an eligible issue, we re-clean those areas at no extra cost, within seven business days of the original clean.

  • 4. Still not right?

    We review it again and provide a fair credit or refund, as the terms set out.

  • What it doesn’t cover

    Work outside the checklist you booked, or a clean that couldn’t be finished because there was no access, power or water. And no cleaner can promise your bond back: a claim can also cover rent, damage and other matters, decided against your condition report.

VIC · YOUR BOND

What Victorian rules ask for when you move out

In Victoria, renters must leave the property reasonably clean and in the same condition as when they moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Bonds are held by the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority.

Professional cleaning, the exit condition report, bond claims and disputes in Victoria are covered in our guide to moving out of a rental in Victoria.

How long does an end of lease clean take?

We book 5h 30m of cleaner time for a 3 bed, 2 bath home. A team of two shares that time, so they’re on site for about half as long. A heavily used oven, extras and a larger home take longer, and the booking allows for them.

Booked time for a home that has been kept on top of, with no extras. A home that needs more attention, and extras, add time. The total labour is the same whether one cleaner or a team does it, and so is the price; a team simply finishes sooner. We do not yet have enough measured visits of this service to publish a measured time.
