When a Ripponlea rental is ready to hand back, the useful question is not whether it looks generally tidy. It is whether the rooms, fixtures, cupboards, tracks and floors match the inspection scope agreed before the clean.
A Ripponlea rental handover can involve apartments and compact inner-city units, from compact rentals through to larger family layouts, so bedrooms and bathrooms are only part of the quote. Port Phillip access and key planning also affects how much time the team needs on site.
Ripponlea sits in our inner melbourne service area, with nearby bond cleaning support around Balaclava, St Kilda East and Elwood. That helps us plan realistic travel, access and key-return timing when inspection dates move.
Before we confirm a Ripponlea bond clean, we ask about end-of-month key returns, likely inspection issues such as cupboard interiors, and practical notes like photos of any pre-existing marks. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
A Ripponlea quote is checked against your property notes, photos and access details. That helps us decide whether the cleaner needs extra time for internal glass, storage areas, garage dust or agent-sensitive detail.
The guarantee is tied to the agreed cleaning scope. If a Ripponlea agent reports an eligible missed cleaning item within 72 hours, we check it against the quote and arrange one return visit where access can be provided.
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.
The kitchen scope covers the oven, rangehood, stovetop, splashback, sink, tapware, benches, appliance fronts and empty storage. For Ripponlea, mention heavy grease or extra appliances before the quote is finalised.
Showers, bath, toilet, vanity, basin, tapware, mirrors, cabinet interiors and accessible extractor vents. Extra bathrooms are priced separately because they often decide how long the clean takes.
For apartments and compact inner-city units, from compact rentals through to larger family layouts, living areas are scoped around actual rooms rather than a flat package. Second lounges, studies and rumpus rooms should be listed before booking.
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.
For Ripponlea, From $299 + GST is the published starting point. The confirmed figure depends on bathrooms, storeys, condition, access and whether extras such as carpet steam cleaning are needed.
| 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.
The access plan matters as much as the checklist. For Ripponlea, tell us about keys, parking, shared entries, garages, balconies and any exterior glass you want included.
Book after furniture removal, with power and water still connected. Keep your entry condition report handy, point out pre-existing damage and leave enough time between the clean and final inspection for a walkthrough.
For nearby moves around Balaclava, St Kilda East and Elwood, 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.
