Kensington bond cleaning for tenants, landlords and property managers who want the empty home cleaned against a clear scope before final inspection.
Real feedback from property managers and business owners who rely on The Lease Cleaners.
“Booked for a two-bedroom apartment with a week's notice. They spent the longest on the oven and the shower screen, which is exactly where our last inspection got picked up. The agent signed off the same afternoon and the full bond came back.”

A good Kensington bond clean removes the guesswork from the last week of moving. You get a clear list of inclusions, separate add-ons and realistic timing before the team arrives.
In Kensington, we commonly allow for high-rise apartments, units and a handful of terraces. The local inspection pressure is usually around lift bookings, permit parking, compact kitchens, bathroom detail and key handover timing, with the final scope shaped by your photos, room count and agent notes.
Because Kensington connects with nearby rental handovers in Flemington, Travancore, North Melbourne, Ascot Vale and West Melbourne, we ask for access notes early rather than trying to solve them on cleaning day.
Before we confirm a Kensington bond clean, we ask about lockbox or agent-key collection, likely inspection issues such as bathroom screen marks, and practical notes like a list of excluded add-ons. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
Kensington rentals can include high-rise apartments, units and a handful of terraces. That is why the quote asks for bathrooms, carpeted rooms, exterior glass, garage or balcony scope and the inspection deadline before the job is accepted.
For Kensington handovers, the safest approach is a clear scope before the clean and a clear process after inspection. Send photos or the agent report within 72 hours if an eligible included item is raised.
The guarantee does not cover permanent stains, damaged surfaces, worn finishes, unpaid rent, rubbish removal, pest treatment, mould inside silicone, or work that was excluded from your quote. This is why we list carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key pickup separately before you book.
Cooking areas are checked carefully because agents often photograph ovens, rangehoods and cabinet interiors. Fridge, dishwasher and microwave interiors can be added when requested.
Bathrooms include shower screens, basins, toilets, mirrors, tapware, vanities and accessible vents. In Kensington, extra bathrooms are listed clearly because they change the time on site.
Once the property is empty, the team can reach wardrobe interiors, skirting boards, switches, handles, doors, storage areas and the surfaces that are usually hidden during the tenancy.
Carpets are vacuumed and hard floors are swept and mopped. Internal windows, sills and tracks are included where accessible; carpet steam cleaning and exterior windows are quoted as add-ons.
Add-ons are kept separate so there is no confusion on cleaning day. Garages, balconies, courtyards, flea treatment and key movement need to be confirmed before the job is accepted.
Use From $299 + GST as the first pricing marker for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom Kensington clean. The quote is confirmed only after the actual property details are clear.
| Property | Bond cleaning, from |
|---|---|
| 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom | $299 |
| 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom | $399 |
| 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $429 |
| 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $529 |
| 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $579 |
| 5+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $679 |
Prices exclude GST and assume standard property condition. Each extra bathroom adds $30, while carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key movement are quoted separately.
High-rise apartments, units and a handful of terraces. Apartments and terraces need clear access notes. Tell us about fobs, loading zones, service lifts, lockboxes and whether the agent holds keys.
Clear belongings first, leave power and water on, and tell us what the agent has already mentioned. That helps separate cleaning from wear, damage or excluded work.
For nearby moves around Flemington, Travancore and North Melbourne, the same quote process applies: send room counts, condition notes and your key-return date through the quote form, then we confirm the scope in writing.
Choose the service wording that matches your handover: end of lease, vacate, move-out or bond cleaning.
From $299 + GST. Bond cleaning uses the end-of-lease room-count guide, then adjusts for bathrooms, condition, access and requested add-ons.

Our bond-back cleaning cover
Report an in-scope end-of-lease cleaning issue within 72 hours, with evidence and access, for one complimentary re-clean. Conditions apply.
Our bond-back service addresses the cleaning work in your agreed scope. Bond decisions can also involve rent, damage and other tenancy matters, so a clean cannot guarantee the return of the entire bond.
