Getting your Melbourne rental inspection-ready takes just four simple steps. We handle the hard work while you focus on your move.
Request Your Quote
Tell us about your Melbourne property — number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and any extras like carpet cleaning. We'll send you a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees.
Book Your Clean
Choose a date that works around your move. We offer flexible scheduling across all Melbourne metro suburbs, including same-day availability when you need it most.
We Clean to Standard
Our trained teams arrive on time with professional equipment. We follow agent-aligned checklists that cover everything Victorian property managers inspect during final walkthrough.
Get Your Bond Back
Pass your inspection with confidence. If your agent raises any cleaning concerns within 72 hours, we'll return to re-clean at no extra charge — that's our Melbourne bond back guarantee.
End of Lease Cleaning Melbourne — Common Problems We Solve
Melbourne renters face unique challenges when it comes to bond cleaning. Here's what typically goes wrong — and how we do things differently.
What Goes Wrong
Hidden Fees After the Quote
Quoted $400, then charged $600 on the day for "extras" like oven cleaning or window tracks that should be included.
Failed Agent Inspections
Cleaners miss what Melbourne agents actually check — grease buildup in rangehoods, mould in bathrooms, carpet stains in period homes.
Worthless "Bond Back Guarantees"
24-hour re-clean windows, fine print exclusions, or cleaners who simply don't answer the phone when there's an issue.
No-Shows and Poor Communication
Cleaners don't arrive, cancel last minute, or can't be reached — leaving you scrambling before your final inspection.
How We're Different
Transparent Fixed-Price Quotes
The price we quote is the price you pay. Every task is itemised upfront — no surprises, no awkward conversations on cleaning day.
Agent-Aligned Checklists
We clean to what Victorian property managers actually inspect. Our teams know REIV standards and focus on the details that matter for your bond.
72-Hour Re-Clean Guarantee
If your agent identifies any cleaning issues within 72 hours, we return to fix them free. No questions, no fine print, no excuses.
Reliable Teams, Clear Communication
Confirmation before arrival, on-time teams, and a direct line if you have questions. We treat your move-out like the high-stakes event it is.
Move Out Cleaning Melbourne — Why Your Bond Matters
Melbourne's rental market remains competitive, with vacancy rates hovering between 2-3% across the metro area. Whether you're leaving a Fitzroy warehouse conversion, a South Yarra apartment, or a period terrace in Carlton, property managers expect properties returned in comparable condition to move-in.
With median unit rents around $650 per week and houses reaching $700-750, you're looking at $2,600 or more in bond money at stake. Consumer Affairs Victoria, the state regulator overseeing bond disputes, handles thousands of cleaning-related claims each year through the RTBA (Residential Tenancies Bond Authority). Many of these could have been avoided with professional bond cleaning that meets agent expectations.

Exit Cleaning Melbourne — Reviews From Real Tenants
"Got my full bond back on a 2-bed apartment in Richmond. The oven was spotless — even the agent commented on it. Would definitely use again for my next move."
Richmond, VIC
"Booked them last minute when my original cleaners cancelled. They came out the same day and did a thorough job on my Southbank apartment. Passed inspection first go."
Southbank, VIC
"The bathroom grout in my Carlton place was terrible after 3 years. They got it looking almost new. My picky property manager signed off without a single issue."

"Third time using Vacate Cleaners for Melbourne rentals. Consistent quality every time. The fixed pricing is a relief — no surprise extras on the day like other companies."

Vacate Cleaning Melbourne — FAQs
How much does vacate cleaning cost in Melbourne?
Melbourne vacate cleaning typically ranges based on property size and condition. We provide fixed-price quotes after understanding your specific needs — the price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden fees for standard inclusions like oven or rangehood cleaning. Request a quote and we'll give you a clear breakdown within hours.
Do I need professional carpet cleaning for my Melbourne rental?
It depends on your lease agreement and carpet condition. Consumer Affairs Victoria, the state regulator for rental disputes, states tenants must return carpets in reasonable condition, allowing for fair wear and tear. Many Melbourne leases include a carpet cleaning clause — check your agreement. We offer carpet steam cleaning as an add-on to complement your bond clean if required.
What if my Melbourne agent fails the inspection after your clean?
Our 72-hour re-clean guarantee covers you. If your property manager identifies any cleaning issues within 72 hours of your inspection, we return to address them at no additional cost. Unlike some Melbourne cleaners offering 24-hour windows, we give you a realistic timeframe that accounts for agent schedules and inspection delays.
How far in advance should I book vacate cleaning in Melbourne?
We recommend booking at least 3-5 days ahead during busy periods like end of month when Melbourne's rental market sees high turnover. However, we maintain same-day availability when schedules allow, so contact us even if you need a last-minute bond clean. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you'll have with timing.
Do you clean apartments in Melbourne high-rises?
Yes, we regularly clean apartments throughout Melbourne CBD towers, Southbank, Docklands, and inner-city locations. Our teams are experienced with apartment-specific requirements including building access procedures, lift bookings, and any strata cleaning regulations. We've worked in most major Melbourne residential buildings.
What's included in a standard Melbourne bond clean?
Our standard vacate clean includes full kitchen cleaning (oven, rangehood, cupboards inside and out), all bathrooms sanitised and descaled, floors throughout, window sills and tracks, internal window glass, built-in wardrobes, skirting boards, door frames, light switches, and cobweb removal. Carpet steam cleaning, external windows, and wall washing are available as add-ons with transparent pricing.
