End of lease, bond, vacate and lease end cleaning are one service: a full clean of your rental, to our checklist, before you hand back the keys.
Renting a house in Corio: getting the whole property ready to hand back
A house means more rooms, more wardrobes and usually a garage, so book for the property you’re actually leaving: enter every bedroom and bathroom in the booking form and the price you see reflects it.
- Bedrooms and living areas: wardrobes, skirting boards, light switches and power points, ceiling fans and the inside window tracks are all on the checklist, along with vacuuming and mopping.
- Heating and cooling: split-system air conditioners are wiped and their filters cleaned.
- Garage: we sweep the floor and take down cobwebs. Shift anything stored there before the day, or add a garage clean-up as an extra if it needs more.
- Extras to consider: blinds, the fridge, wall washing, floor tile grout and carpet steam cleaning can all be added when you book.
Water hardness and bushfire prone areas: what they mean for a Corio move-out clean
The Victorian Department of Health’s water supplier list places Corio in Barwon Water’s Lovely Banks sampling locality, together with Norlane, Lara and Bell Park. In Barwon Water’s 2024–25 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report, 156 Lovely Banks samples averaged 29 mg/L total hardness (lowest 15, highest 69), well inside the aesthetic guideline of under 200 mg/L.
Barwon Water also says, for its whole region, that the water poses no scaling problems and there’s no need for softeners in dishwashers or washing machines. Shower screens, tiles, taps, sinks and benchtops are still cleaned on every end of lease visit.
Parts of Corio are in a designated Bushfire Prone Area
On the Victorian Government’s designated Bushfire Prone Area map, parts of Corio sit inside the City of Greater Geelong’s bushfire prone area, where specific bushfire building construction requirements apply.
If smoke has drifted through the house before you move out, EPA Victoria recommends opening doors and windows so sunlight and fresh air can clear the smell, and washing furniture, walls and floors with mild soap or detergent and water. Our checklist covers wall marks, skirting boards, inside window tracks and the split-system filter; if every wall needs washing, add wall washing to the booking.
Moving-day parking, skips and hard rubbish are covered on our Corio cleaning page, and the moving-out and rental bond guide explains how refunds work in Victoria. We also clean in Norlane, Lara and Hamlyn Heights; see end of lease cleaning there, or everything an end of lease clean includes.

Why is Lease End Cleaning Important?
As the end of a lease approaches, tenants often find themselves wrapped up in the logistics of moving out and looking for their next home. In this rush, it’s easy to overlook one crucial aspect: lease end cleaning.
However, giving your rented property a thorough clean before handing it back over to your landlord or agency can make all the difference – both legally and financially.
Firstly, when you sign any rental agreement, you’re agreeing to leave the property in “good condition” upon departure. If you fail to do so without proper reasoning or communication with your landlord/agency beforehand, they may choose to withhold part of your deposit as reimbursement for damages or extra cleaning that is required after you have left – meaning less money back in your pocket at what is already likely an expensive time.
Secondly, poor cleaning could harm future reference requests from potential landlords; worse still if agencies pass on negative reports about previous tenants who moved under them.
Hiring professional cleaners could well mean greater peace-of-mind by ensuring obligations are properly satisfied while relieving pressure off handling everything yourselves during those busy & stressful times should get things done quickly & efficiently putting these worries far behind us forever!
In conclusion – prioritising lease-end cleaning means avoiding financial losses while also helping guarantee stress-free starts that set us off along healthy new beginnings too long-term residence hopefuls will appreciate!

End of Lease Cleaning Services Frequently Asked Questions
Is the water in Corio hard or soft?
Barwon Water describes water across its region as soft. Corio is in Barwon Water’s Lovely Banks sampling locality, where total hardness averaged 29 mg/L across 156 samples in 2024–25, far below the 200 mg/L aesthetic guideline. Bathrooms and kitchens still get a full clean at the end of a lease: shower screens, tiles, taps, sinks and benchtops are all on our checklist.
How do I get a smoke smell out of a rental before moving out?
EPA Victoria’s advice for a smoke-affected home is to open doors and windows to let sunlight and fresh air clear the odour, and to wash hard surfaces such as furniture, walls and floors with mild soap or detergent and water (see the bushfire section above). For the final clean, add wall washing to your end of lease booking if every wall needs it.
How long does lease end cleaning take?
A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property starts from about 3 cleaning hours. Every home is different: larger homes, heavy build-up and extras such as carpet steam cleaning take longer. The booking form shows the estimated time and price for your property.
What if my agent spots something after the clean?
Let us know within 72 hours of your clean and we’ll come back and re-clean those areas free. Terms apply.
What is the benefit of using a key pickup service?
Using a key pickup service saves you time and hassle, as you do not need to arrange to collect and return the keys yourself. It also ensures that the cleaning company has easy access to the property, allowing them to complete the cleaning quickly and efficiently.
How much is end of lease cleaning in Corio?
End of lease cleaning starts from $249.40 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom property. Use the estimator on this page for a guide, then see your price for your address when you book online.
Can you clean before the final inspection in Corio?
Yes. An end of lease clean is the clean before your final inspection. Book it after your furniture is out and as close to the inspection as your moving plans allow.
Do I need a parking permit for the removal truck in Corio?
The City doesn’t publish a removal-truck permit. Occupying a footpath, laneway or road needs a Street/Footpath Occupation Permit. See moving day in Corio for skips and storage pods.

Before your final inspection
In Victoria, renters must leave the property reasonably clean, with fair wear and tear excepted, and the condition report from the start of the agreement is the reference. Since 29 March 2021 a rental provider can only require professional cleaning at the end of the tenancy if the property was professionally cleaned immediately before you moved in and you were told, or if it is needed to return the property to its condition at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to your end of lease clean in the same booking: see carpet cleaning in Corio.
