Professional Services for End of Lease, Bond Return, Vacate, and Lease Completion Cleaning
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.
Moving out of a Newtown house or townhouse: what to clean
The ABS 2021 Census counted 4,015 occupied private dwellings in Newtown (Greater Geelong – Vic.). 3,090 of them (77%) were separate houses, 825 (20.5%) were semi-detached, terrace or townhouses, and the 89 flats (2.2%) were all in one- or two-storey blocks. 1,175 homes (29.3%) were rented, 851 of them through a real estate agent.
Whichever type you’re leaving, these are the details that tend to decide an inspection:
- Count every bathroom and toilet when you enter the property in the booking form. The price and cleaning time are worked out from bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Garage: sweeping and cobweb removal are part of the standard checklist. Clear stored boxes and old paint tins first so the floor can be reached.
- Outdoor areas and gardens aren’t on our checklist. Read your condition report to see what the rental provider expects outside, and sort green waste and hard rubbish before the clean: the Newtown bins, tips and hard rubbish guide lists the council options.
- Heating and cooling: we wipe split-system air conditioners and clean their filters. Ducted systems aren’t included, so if the home has ducted vents, check the condition report for what is expected.
- Moving day: plan parking and any skip or truck early with the Newtown moving-day notes, and leave power and water connected until the clean is finished.

Leaving a Newtown rental with a dog or cat: pet hair, odour and paperwork
Renting with a pet in Victoria starts with a pet request form, one for each pet. Consumer Affairs Victoria says the rental provider has 14 days to decide, and if they don’t agree they should apply to VCAT within those 14 days. Rental providers can’t ask for an extra ‘pet bond’. Renters still have a duty to take care to avoid damaging the property, and if pet damage is disputed, VCAT considers fair wear and tear and the age and condition of the item.
Our end of lease clean includes vacuuming, hard-floor mopping, skirting boards, wall spot cleaning and cupboards inside and out. For carpets that have lived with a dog or cat, add carpet steam cleaning to your booking. Flea or pest treatment isn’t part of our service, so check your lease if it mentions one.
Before the clean
- Move pet beds, bowls, toys and litter trays out first, so the floor underneath can be cleaned.
- Keep pets away from the property on cleaning day, or arrange for them to be secured off-site.
- Moving within Greater Geelong? The City of Greater Geelong asks you to update your pet registration details when the address where your pet lives changes, and to update your microchip registry too.

Why Is Lease End Cleaning Important?
When you reach the end of your lease agreement, it’s crucial to ensure that the property is left in the best possible condition. That’s where lease end cleaning comes into play. It’s important because it can determine whether you get back all or just some of your bond money.
Lease end cleaning involves a thorough deep cleaning of every inch of the rental property, including areas that don’t usually require regular attention like windowsills and ceiling fans. Professional cleaners will handle this task for you, ensuring that there are no spots or stains on surfaces as these small details can lose points when inspected by landlords.
Not only does lease end cleaning help with getting your bond money back but also ensures good relationships between tenants and landlords after vacating a rented house. A tidy apartment saves time too especially if you plan to move out immediately—it allows movers easier access without slipping on any dirt resulting in injuries.
A professional cleaner who specializes in pre-moving out services knows precisely what needs to be done during an inspection; they understand how an agent inspects properties before market entry hence saving clients from potentially losing their bond payment due to missed cleanliness guidelines.

How do I book an end of lease cleaner in Newtown?

Does end of lease cleaning in Newtown include the garage and outside areas?
The garage is included: sweeping and cobweb removal are on the standard checklist. Gardens, yards and other outdoor areas aren’t, so check your condition report for what is expected outside and clear any rubbish first. Our Newtown bins and tips guide lists the council options.
Can you clean a Newtown rental with pet hair in the carpets?
Yes. Our standard clean vacuums every room and mops hard floors, and you can add carpet steam cleaning in the booking form if your carpets have lived with a dog or cat. In Victoria a rental provider can’t charge a separate pet bond, but renters must take care to avoid damage (see Consumer Affairs Victoria on pets).
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 Newtown?
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 Newtown?
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 Newtown?
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 Newtown 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 Newtown.
