End of Lease & Bond Cleaning
How long does an end of lease clean take?
It depends on the size and condition of the property. As a guide, a 1-bedroom unit takes around 3–4 hours and a 3-bedroom house around 5–7 hours.
How much does bond cleaning cost?
Prices start from $390 for a 1-bedroom unit. The final price depends on the number of rooms, bathrooms and extras like carpet steam cleaning. Request a free quote for an exact price.
What's included in an end of lease clean?
We clean the whole property to the standard real estate agents check at the final inspection: kitchen (including oven, stovetop and rangehood), bathrooms, toilets, laundry, inside cupboards and drawers, skirting boards, light switches, windows (inside, or inside and out), floors, and carpets if you add carpet steam cleaning. Full checklist available on request.
Do you offer a bond-back guarantee?
Yes. If your agent or landlord isn't happy with any area we've cleaned, we'll come back and re-clean it free within 24 hours of the clean.
Do you clean carpets?
Yes, we offer carpet steam cleaning as an add-on. Some Victorian rental agreements include a professional cleaning term, which only applies in certain circumstances, such as when professional cleaning is needed to return the property to its condition at the start of the lease. Check your rental agreement or ask your agent if you're unsure.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 1–2 weeks ahead, especially at the end of the month when most leases finish. Contact us for last-minute availability.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No. Many tenants leave a key with us or the agent. We just need the property empty of furniture and belongings before we start.
Do you bring your own cleaning products and equipment?
Yes, we bring everything needed.
Can you also take away rubbish left behind?
Yes. We offer rubbish removal too, so we can clear unwanted items and clean the property in one booking.
Do you work with real estate agents and property managers?
Yes. We clean between tenancies for agencies across Melbourne's western suburbs. Find out more about working with us.
Rubbish Removal
What rubbish can you take?
Household junk, furniture, appliances, mattresses, green waste, boxes, move-out rubbish and general clean-up waste.
Is there anything you can't take?
We can't take hazardous waste such as asbestos, chemicals, paint or gas bottles. If you're unsure about an item, just ask.
How is rubbish removal priced?
Pricing is based on the load size and how easy it is to access. Send us photos for a fast, accurate quote.
Do I need to carry the rubbish out?
No. We do all the lifting and loading for you.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. If the rubbish is easy to access, such as on the driveway or nature strip, you don't need to be there.
Can you come today?
We often have same-day or next-day availability. Call us to check.
What happens to my rubbish?
We donate usable items and recycle wherever possible, and take the rest to licensed waste facilities.
Do you service my suburb?
We cover Melbourne's western suburbs, including Footscray, Sunshine, Werribee, Point Cook, Hoppers Crossing and surrounding areas.
