“They send the scope in writing before the job, which sounds small until you've argued with a contractor about what was included. Invoicing is clean and they photograph anything pre-existing.”

Testimonials
What our clients say after working with us.
Real feedback from property managers and business owners who rely on The Lease Cleaners.
“Kitchen splashback had marks I'd given up on after scrubbing for an hour. Gone. The place smelled clean rather than drowned in perfume, which I appreciated.”

Preparing a rental in East Melbourne for final inspection
The Lease Cleaners prepares empty East Melbourne rentals for final inspection, with the job scoped around the rooms, condition, access and handover deadline you provide before booking.
East Melbourne is in the Melbourne service area. The local rental mix includes apartments, units and warehouse conversions, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, so we ask about layout and condition rather than assuming every home needs the same time.
East Melbourne is part of our Melbourne service area, with nearby coverage across Melbourne, Collingwood and Fitzroy.
We give the most attention to balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes, because those are the items most likely to be noticed during handover.
It suits three groups. Tenants book it to reduce cleaning disputes before key return. Landlords use it between tenancies so the next applicant sees a property that is ready to inspect. Property managers use it for turnovers because the agreed scope is written down before the clean starts.
Nearby coverage includes Melbourne, Collingwood and Fitzroy, which helps when tenants, agents or landlords are coordinating more than one handover in the same area.
What is included in your East Melbourne end of lease clean
For East Melbourne properties, the inclusion list is practical: rooms, surfaces, fixtures and internal glass that can be accessed once furniture has gone. Anything outside that scope is quoted before cleaning starts.
Kitchen
Oven interior including trays and racks, rangehood, stovetop and oven exterior, benchtops, splashback, sink, tapware, appliance exteriors, plus empty cabinet and drawer interiors. In East Melbourne, tell us early if the oven or rangehood has heavy grease so the time is allowed.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are scrubbed and sanitised, including shower screens, mineral build-up, toilets, basins, mirrors and tapware. For apartments, units and warehouse conversions, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, bathroom count is usually a stronger price driver than floor area.
Bedrooms
Wardrobes, cupboards, doors, handles, switches, skirting boards and accessible surfaces are cleaned once belongings are removed. Carpeted bedrooms are vacuumed, with steam cleaning quoted per room if needed.
Living areas
Accessible fittings, cornices, skirting boards, doors, handles, storage areas and hard surfaces are dusted and wiped. We give the most attention to balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes, because those are the items most likely to be noticed during handover.
Floors
All carpeted areas are vacuumed and hard floors are swept and mopped. Carpet steam cleaning is an add-on at $40 per room and should be booked with enough drying time before inspection.
Windows
Window interiors, sills and tracks are included where accessible, along with one set of glass doors inside and out. Exterior windows are quoted separately at $20 where access is practical.
Laundry
Laundry benches, sink, tapware, cabinet interiors, cabinet exteriors and floors are included. Garage sweep, balcony cleaning, flea treatment and key pickup/drop-off can be added before the booking is accepted.
Cleaning cannot repair a damaged surface. Permanent stains, worn finishes and pre-existing damage sit outside the clean and outside the re-clean cover, so point them out before the quote is finalised.
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in East Melbourne?
For East Melbourne, the published starting point is $299 + GST for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom clean. Larger homes are priced by bedrooms and bathrooms rather than a suburb average.
| Property | End of lease, 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 additional bathroom adds $30, and bond cleaning starts $20 lower than end-of-lease at every size.
Bedroom and bathroom counts matter most. Compact floor plans mean the kitchen and bathroom carry most of the inspection weight. Add-ons are itemised, so you can see what belongs in the end-of-lease clean and what has been priced separately.
Send your room counts, condition notes and key-return date through the quote form for a fixed figure before you book.

Why East Melbourne renters choose The Lease Cleaners
Written scope before booking. Tenants, landlords and property managers get the agreed inclusions in writing, including what is excluded or priced separately.
Insured and police-checked cleaners. Every cleaner is fully insured and police-checked, and the business carries $20 million public liability insurance.
Local handover planning. East Melbourne sits in Melbourne, with nearby coverage around Melbourne and Collingwood, so access and timing are discussed before the day.
Quoted on your room counts. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and add-ons shape the price, which is more useful than applying a generic East Melbourne average.
Clear limits on cleaning. Worn finishes, permanent staining and pre-existing damage are identified separately so you are not paying for a result cleaning cannot deliver.
Property-specific expectations. East Melbourne rentals run to apartments, units and warehouse conversions, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, so the schedule follows the rooms and surfaces the property actually contains.
Getting the team into your East Melbourne rental
Most buildings here require a lift booking and a loading-zone permit, and both take a few days to arrange. Tell us where the team can park, how keys will be collected and the latest time the property needs to be ready for inspection.
Book the clean once the furniture is out, with water and power still connected. Keep your entry condition report to hand, point out existing damage, and leave time for a walkthrough before the keys go back.
For handovers around Melbourne and Collingwood, clear access notes help the team arrive with the right equipment and enough time.

Share the room counts, condition, access details and the date you need the clean.
- 02
Agree the scope and timing
Confirm the price, included work and any extras before your booking is accepted.
- 03
Clean, check and hand over
We work through the agreed scope. Leave time for a walk-through before returning the keys.
Our bond-back cleaning cover
A clean backed by a re-clean promise.
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.

Before you book
East Melbourne cleaning questions, answered.
Clear answers about the scope, timing and handover.
Talk to the teamWhat does the bond-back guarantee cover in East Melbourne?
The guarantee is a re-clean promise, not a blanket bond promise. For East Melbourne properties, the key is having the scope agreed before cleaning day so any post-inspection request can be matched to what was booked. We note nearby timing around Melbourne, Collingwood and Fitzroy when arranging access. For local scheduling, we also note access around Melbourne, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Richmond and Abbotsford.
Do I need to be at my East Melbourne property during the clean?
Tell us the building name, whether a lift booking is needed and where the service entry is. Most inner-city buildings need the lift reserved a few days ahead, and a loading-zone permit if there is no dock. Also tell us the key collection plan and final inspection time, especially if the handover sits between East Melbourne, Melbourne and Collingwood or the managing agent's office. For local scheduling, we also note access around Melbourne, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Richmond and Abbotsford.
How do you quote an exit clean in East Melbourne?
For East Melbourne, the useful starting point is From $299 + GST for one bedroom and one bathroom. Two-bedroom and larger homes move up by room count, extra bathrooms add time, and anything outside the standard internal scope is listed as an add-on before booking. Mention whether the property sits closer to Melbourne and Collingwood so key collection and travel time are clear. For local scheduling, we also note access around Melbourne, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Richmond and Abbotsford.
Which rooms are covered for a bond clean in East Melbourne?
We cover the internal rooms and inspection detail agreed in writing before the day. Tell us about apartments, units and warehouse conversions, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, parking and keys; for nearby work around Melbourne and Collingwood, the same scope rules apply. For local scheduling, we also note access around Melbourne, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Richmond and Abbotsford.
Do you provide carpet steam cleaning in East Melbourne?
Yes, carpet steam cleaning can be added at $40 per room when booked with the clean. It uses separate equipment and drying time, so include the carpeted room count when you request your East Melbourne quote. We will also factor in the inspection timing for East Melbourne and nearby Melbourne and Collingwood. That keeps the Melbourne handover practical if keys, parking or agent timing change around Melbourne, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Richmond and Abbotsford.
How long does an end of lease clean take in East Melbourne?
A one-bedroom property commonly takes three to four hours for a two-person team, with larger homes taking longer. Compact floor plans mean the kitchen and bathroom carry most of the inspection weight. Book before your East Melbourne inspection day so there is room for a walkthrough and any evidence-backed re-clean request. That keeps the Melbourne handover practical if keys, parking or agent timing change around Melbourne, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Richmond and Abbotsford.
