What Is Included in an End of Lease Clean in Melbourne?

An end of lease clean in Melbourne includes the oven, rangehood, window tracks, walls, skirting boards and wet areas, which are the spots Victorian property managers check at the final inspection. At Melbourne Cleaning Partners, a professional end of lease clean comes with a 72-hour free re-clean if your agent flags anything in scope.

Which Areas Does a Bond Clean Cover?

The base clean is built around the parts of a rental that agents look at first:

• Oven and rangehood, degreased
• Inside cupboards and drawers
• Window tracks, sills and reachable interior glass
• Walls, spot cleaned
• Skirting boards and architraves throughout
• Wet areas, including a complete bathroom descale and detail

Is Carpet Steam Cleaning Included in an End of Lease Clean?

Carpet steam cleaning is an add-on, so it sits outside the base price. You can add it to any end of lease booking with Melbourne Cleaning Partners.

Whether you need it comes down to your lease and your entry condition report. For agreements signed from 29 March 2021, a rental provider can only require professional cleaning in limited cases, for example when it is needed to return the property to its start-of-tenancy condition because it was professionally cleaned before you moved in.

What Standard Do Victorian Agents Check Against?

Renters must hand the property back reasonably clean and in the condition it was in at the start of the tenancy, allowing for fair wear and tear. The entry condition report is the benchmark, so the agent compares each room at handover with how it was recorded when you moved in.

Keep a copy of the report handy and share it with your cleaner if any marks were already noted.

What Happens If the Agent Flags Something After the Clean?

If the agent flags an item from the cleaning scope at the final inspection, the 72-hour free re-clean covers it. Forward the inspection notes so the team knows exactly what to fix.

What Falls Outside a Standard End of Lease Clean?

These jobs change the scope, so mention them when you book:

• Exterior or high external windows
• Garages, sheds and outdoor areas
• Heavy mould or severe grease build-up
• Rubbish or furniture left behind

Damage, repairs and missing items are separate from cleaning and need to be sorted out with your agent.

How Do You Book and How Is the Price Set?

Booking takes three steps:

• Enter your name and phone number in the quote form.
• Receive your exact GST-inclusive price by text, 24/7.
• Pick your date and the booking is confirmed.

Your price depends on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the property's condition, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay. You don't need to be home. Key, lockbox or agent access is arranged when you book. Every cleaner is vetted and the company carries public liability insurance.

Which Melbourne Suburbs Are Covered and When Should You Book?

End of lease cleans are available across 20 metro suburbs and surrounds, including the Melbourne CBD, Richmond, St Kilda, Box Hill, Footscray, Werribee and Craigieburn. Most jobs are scheduled within a few days, sooner for urgent bond deadlines.

Book the clean for after the removalists leave and before the final inspection. Empty rooms give the cleaner clear access to wardrobes, floors and skirting boards.
