Before / After
Moving out? Here’s what you need to know: End of lease cleaning Melbourne
End of lease cleaning is a thorough, detailed clean of a rental property before moving out, going beyond regular cleaning to help tenants secure their full bond refund.
- No time limits – the team stays until the landlord or property manager is satisfied
- Full documentation – receipts and service dockets provided to support the bond return process
- All equipment supplied – professional tools and cleaning products included
- Flexible booking – online booking, same-day options, morning/afternoon slots, 7 days a week with no extra fees on weekends or public holidays
- Custom checklists – tailored to the tenant’s needs or based on the landlord’s specific requirements
- Wide coverage – services available across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs
Bond clean, vacate clean, end of lease clean – which one do you need?
Just one – they’re three names for the same service. Your lease might say the property must be “professionally cleaned”, your property manager might ask for a “bond clean”, and booking forms usually call it end of lease cleaning. Whatever the wording, the job is identical: a top-to-bottom clean of the empty property, following an REA-approved checklist, so nothing at the final inspection stands between you and your full bond.

Our REA-approved end of lease cleaning checklist
Add-ons your property manager may ask for
None of these are part of the standard end of lease clean – add them to your booking if your lease or final inspection requires them. (Extra cost applies, completed in the same visit.)
- Carpet steam cleaning – Hot water extraction for carpets, with stains pre-treated where suitable. You’ll receive a receipt to show your property manager — many leases require one, especially after pets.
- Upholstery cleaning can be added in the same booking – Wall spot cleaning — Targeted removal of scuffs and marks to lift the property’s presentation. Heavy marks, damage and repainting aren’t included.
- Fridge & freezer cleaning – Inside-and-out clean and sanitise of the appliance. Empty and defrost it at least 24 hours before the visit.
- Balcony & garage cleaning – Swept and scrubbed where accessible — two areas property managers routinely check on houses and ground-floor units.
- External window cleaning – Exterior glass cleaned where accessible, for streak-free windows at inspection.
Also available on request: fly screen cleaning and curtain cleaning.

Q: What’s included in the end of lease clean?
A: Every room is cleaned to an REA-approved checklist: kitchen (oven inside and out, stovetop, rangehood, benches, cupboards), bathrooms (shower, tiles descaled, toilet, vanity, mirrors), bedrooms and living areas (wardrobes and cupboards inside and out, skirting boards, doors, light switches), plus internal windows with sills and tracks, and all floors vacuumed and mopped.

A: Yes. If your property manager or landlord flags any area covered by your booked service, contact us within 72 hours with the inspection report or photos and we’ll return for a free re-clean of those items at no extra cost.
Q: How long does a bond clean take?
A: Most bond cleans take between 3 and 6 hours, depending on the property’s size and condition and any add-ons booked. The service isn’t time-limited – the team stays until every checklist item is complete.
Q: How do you clean carpets?
A: We use the hot water extraction method for standard fabric, which provides the best results. We pre-vacuum and pre-spray the carpet, pre-treat stains, and then steam clean with a specialist carpet cleaning machine. You will receive a receipt for your landlord or property manager.
Q: Do I need to be present during the cleaning?
A: No. As long as the team can access the property (key pick-up, lockbox, or someone to let them in) and electricity and running water are connected, we’ll complete the clean and let you know when it’s done.
Q: Can I book same-day or urgent end of lease cleaning?
A: Yes – same-day slots are available subject to schedule. Contact us as early in the day as possible for urgent bookings.
Q: What are the rules for cleaning at the end of a lease in Victoria?
A: In Victoria, renters must leave the property in a reasonably clean condition, allowing for fair wear and tear. Professional cleaning isn’t automatically required – but if the property was professionally cleaned before your tenancy or your lease specifies it, you may need to arrange it.
