Preston's tap water, bottles and cans
Yarra Valley Water’s 2025–26 Drinking Water Quality Report lists Preston (3072) in two water sampling areas, Preston and Ivanhoe. The report explains that a sampling area shares water quality characteristics because its supply comes through specific pipes, tanks or pumps, so it’s more likely to follow geographic features than suburb boundaries.
Hardness measures the calcium and magnesium salts in water. In 2025–26, four quarterly samples averaged 18 mg/L in the Preston area and 17 mg/L in the Ivanhoe area, against a guideline of a mean of 200 mg/L or less.
Power and water must be connected for the clean.
Drink containers from the fridge and pantry
Victoria’s container deposit scheme lists what it takes on its CDS Vic eligible containers page:
- Most drink containers made from aluminium, glass, plastic and carton between 150 mL and 3 litres are eligible.
- Don’t crush them, as most refund points can’t accept crushed containers. Keep the lids on, and empty out any liquid; you don’t need to rinse them.
Rubbish removal isn’t part of our end of lease checklist.

Leaving your rental clean
When the time comes to end a lease agreement, tenants are required to perform thorough cleaning tasks in order to get their security deposit back. This final cleaning, known as lease end cleaning, can be an overwhelming and challenging process for many renters. In this article, we will discuss some of the major challenges faced during lease end cleaning.
Time Constraints
One of the primary challenges of lease end cleaning is the limited amount of time available. Most rental agreements require tenants to vacate the premises within a specified timeframe. This leaves little room for procrastination or delays when it comes to completing all necessary cleaning tasks.
High Expectations
Another challenge is meeting landlords’ high expectations regarding cleanliness standards. Landlords typically expect every inch of the property to be spotless – from floors and appliances to walls and windows. Failure to meet these expectations may result in deductions from your security deposit or even legal consequences.
Tackling Stubborn Stains and Dirt
Removing stubborn stains on carpets, upholstery, or walls can be particularly difficult during lease end cleaning. Common household cleaners often fail against deep-seated dirt or marks that have accumulated over time, requiring extra effort and specialized products.
Equipment and Supplies
Lease end cleaning often necessitates using professional-grade equipment such as carpet cleaners or pressure washers that may not be readily available at home. Additionally, purchasing various specific supplies for different surfaces can significantly increase overall costs involved with this process.
and utilizing appropriate tools and techniques you can overcome them successfully.
Remember that adhering strictly to your rental agreement’s guidelines will ensure you receive your full security deposit without any unnecessary deductions

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 Preston.
