How Much Does Bond Cleaning Cost?
Prices depend on your location, the size and condition of the property and any extras such as carpet steam cleaning.
Why Is Lease End Cleaning Important?
In Victoria, how you leave a rental property affects your bond refund. Here’s why a thorough end of lease clean matters.
Get your bond back: In Victoria, your bond is held by the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA), not by your rental provider, and in most cases it can’t be more than one month’s rent. When you move out, the rental provider can claim against the bond if the property hasn’t been left reasonably clean, so a thorough clean helps your bond be repaid without a cleaning claim.
Keep a good rental record: Leaving the home clean shows you’ve looked after it, which helps when you ask your agent or rental provider for a reference for your next rental.
Meet your obligations: Victorian rental providers can claim against the bond if the property hasn’t been left reasonably clean. After the agreement ends, the rental provider or agent completes the exit condition report within 10 days, and you must be present or be given a reasonable opportunity to be there.
Health and safety: A thorough clean removes built-up grease, soap scum and mould from kitchens and bathrooms, leaving the home hygienic for the next renter.
In short, a careful end of lease clean protects your bond, supports your rental record and leaves the home ready for the next renter.
Before you book, compare the home with your entry condition report: it records the property’s condition when you moved in, and the exit inspection is recorded on the same report. Check your rental agreement for any cleaning terms as well. If you need a professional clean, booking it before you hand back the keys is usually simpler than resolving a bond claim afterwards.

Below are answers to common questions about end of lease cleaning. If your question isn’t covered here, visit our FAQ page or email us at [email protected].
Renting in Melbourne: what Victorian rules mean for your final clean
Consumer Affairs Victoria explains that the rental provider or agent completes the exit section of the condition report within 10 days of the agreement ending, and you must be present or given a reasonable chance to attend. If they want to claim for further cleaning, they must give you their supporting evidence at least 3 business days before claiming, and it must not contradict the condition report (Consumer Affairs Victoria: condition reports).
So before your clean, pull out the entry report and any dated photos you took when you moved in. Note the rooms that were marked clean at the start, and tell us about them when you book, so the clean is aimed where the inspection will look.
Mould and damp
Consumer Affairs Victoria says the law doesn’t always say who must fix mould. A renter may be responsible if their behaviour contributed, for example by not using a bathroom exhaust fan, while the rental provider may be responsible if a fault in the property caused it, such as a broken window frame letting rain in (pests, infestations and mould). Our package includes bathroom mould removal; ceiling mould is not included. If damp keeps coming back, raise it with your agent rather than relying on cleaning alone.
Moving out with a pet
Renters in Victoria need the rental provider’s permission to keep a pet, and still have to keep the property reasonably clean and avoid damage (Consumer Affairs Victoria: pets). If a pet has shed on the carpets, add carpet steam cleaning to your booking and check your written pet conditions for anything agreed at the start.
Shower screens, taps and tiles before a Melbourne inspection
The film on shower screens, taps and tiles still needs proper attention before an inspection. Our bathroom clean covers the shower or bath including tiles and screens, and sinks and taps are cleaned and dry-buffed. We’ll handle the soap scum; you handle the boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do end of lease cleaning in suburbs like Parkville, Blackburn and Carnegie?
Yes. Each of these suburbs has its own page: end of lease cleaning in Parkville, Blackburn and Carnegie. Enter your address in the booking form to see your price and choose a preferred date; the team then confirms your booking.
Can a Victorian rental provider claim cleaning costs from my bond?
They can claim for further cleaning, but Consumer Affairs Victoria says they must give you supporting evidence at least 3 business days before making the claim, and it must not contradict the condition report. Unresolved disputes can go to VCAT. See condition reports for the details.
Who is responsible for mould in a Melbourne rental?
It depends on the cause. Consumer Affairs Victoria says a renter may be responsible if their actions contributed, and the rental provider may be responsible if a problem with the property caused the mould or damp. Our end of lease package includes bathroom mould removal (ceiling mould not included).
What does an lease end cleaning include?
A lease end cleaning typically includes a thorough cleaning of the entire property, including the bathrooms, kitchen, floors, walls, and windows. This may also include carpet cleaning and steam cleaning, if applicable.
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.
Do I need to be present during end of lease cleaning?
You do not necessarily need to be present during cleaning, but if you chose to, you can be there at the beginning and end of the cleaning to ensure that everything is completed to your satisfaction.
Is professional carpet cleaning required for end of lease cleaning?
Not always. In Victoria a rental provider can only require professional cleaning in limited cases: 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 of the tenancy, allowing for fair wear and tear (Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), reg 12). Check your lease and condition report; we can add carpet steam cleaning to your booking if you need it.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies for end of lease cleaning?
Not at all. Our cleaners carry all the cleaning supplies and equipment. However, if you wish for certain cleaning agents to be used for cleaning (like, if the house is on the septic system), you need to provide this information beforehand.
How far in advance should I book an exit cleaning service?
It is recommended to book an end of lease cleaning service at least two weeks in advance to ensure that you get a reliable and experienced cleaning company and to allow time for any necessary preparations. However, we can provide EOL cleaning service on an urgent notice as well, even on Sundays and Public Holidays.
Should I clean the property before the end of lease cleaning service arrives?
It is not necessary to clean the property before the end of lease cleaning service arrives, but it is recommended to clear out any personal belongings and clutter to ensure that the cleaners have easy access to all areas of the property.
Is key pickup service included in the lease cleaning service?
Key pickup service is not included in the lease cleaning service. It is an additional service that we offer for an extra fee. However, if the location of the property is nearby the location for Key pickup, we may do it for free.
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.
