Preparing a rental in Kew for final inspection
An exit clean in Kew is not just a tidy-up before keys go back. It is a room-by-room clean against a written scope, with the inspection details agreed before the team arrives.
Kew is in the Boroondara service area. The local rental mix includes established brick homes, units and townhouses, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, so we ask about layout and condition rather than assuming every home needs the same time.
Kew is part of our Boroondara service area, with nearby coverage across Kew East, Hawthorn and Deepdene.
Final inspections here often come down to larger window runs, multiple bathrooms and built-in robes across several bedrooms, plus the usual oven, bathroom and floor detail.
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.
Because Kew sits close to Kew East, Hawthorn and Deepdene, access timing and key pickup can often be planned around nearby jobs when the schedule allows.
What is included in your Kew end of lease clean
The base scope for Kew covers the internal rooms and surfaces a final inspection usually checks. We confirm exclusions and add-ons before the day, which keeps the clean from turning into an open-ended hourly job.
Kitchen
Kitchen detail is usually inspection-critical: oven interior, rangehood, stovetop, benches, splashback, sink and empty cupboards. We price extra appliances separately so the Kew scope is clear.
Bathrooms
The bathroom and laundry scope covers wet-area surfaces, mirrors, tapware, cabinets, floors and accessible vents. Mention mould, heavy limescale or damaged grout before your Kew booking is confirmed.
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. Final inspections here often come down to larger window runs, multiple bathrooms and built-in robes across several bedrooms, plus the usual oven, bathroom and floor detail.
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 Kew?
End of lease cleaning in Kew starts from $299 + GST for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom property. The final quote follows room counts, condition, storeys, access and selected add-ons.
| 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.
We quote the property, not just the suburb name. That means established brick homes, units and townhouses, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, access, soil level and inspection timing are all considered before the booking is accepted.
Send your room counts, condition notes and key-return date through the quote form for a fixed figure before you book.

Why Kew renters choose The Lease Cleaners
Quoted on your room counts. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and add-ons shape the price, which is more useful than applying a generic Kew average.
Local handover planning. Kew sits in Boroondara, with nearby coverage around Kew East and Hawthorn, so access and timing are discussed before the day.
72-hour re-clean support. Eligible, in-scope cleaning issues reported with evidence and access can receive one complimentary re-clean visit under the guarantee terms.
Property-specific expectations. Kew rentals run to established brick homes, units and townhouses, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, so the schedule follows the rooms and surfaces the property actually contains.
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.
Written scope before booking. Tenants, landlords and property managers get the agreed inclusions in writing, including what is excluded or priced separately.
Getting the team into your Kew rental
Driveways and off-street parking are common here, which usually makes access straightforward. 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 Kew East and Hawthorn, clear access notes help the team arrive with the right equipment and enough time.
