“Third-floor flat, no lift, and I'd warned them about the stairs. No complaints, no extra charge, finished inside the quoted time. The bathroom grout genuinely looked new.”

What our clients say after working with us.
Real feedback from property managers and business owners who rely on The Lease Cleaners.
“Double-storey with a lot of stair edges and upstairs window tracks. They got to all of it. Photos afterwards were useful when the agent queried a mark that was there when we moved in.”

End of lease and vacate cleaning in South Melbourne
For South Melbourne tenants, landlords and property managers, the useful clean is the one that matches the actual property: rooms, bathrooms, internal glass, floors, access and any add-ons required by the condition report.
South Melbourne is in the Port Phillip service area. The local rental mix includes apartments, units and warehouse conversions, with quotes shaped by room counts and access, so we ask about layout and condition rather than assuming every home needs the same time.
South Melbourne is part of our Port Phillip service area, with nearby coverage across Southbank, Albert Park and South Wharf.
The inspection-sensitive parts are usually balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes, with extra time allowed for condition issues you flag before booking.
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.
The same end-of-lease, vacate, move-out and bond cleaning team also quotes work around Southbank, Albert Park and South Wharf, so the local scope stays consistent across nearby properties.
What is included in your South Melbourne end of lease clean
The base scope for South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne 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. The inspection-sensitive parts are usually balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes, with extra time allowed for condition issues you flag before booking.
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 South Melbourne?
End of lease cleaning in South Melbourne 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.
If you are comparing prices around Southbank and Albert Park, make sure the scope is comparable. A cheap quote that excludes ovens, tracks or bathroom detail can become expensive after the agent report arrives.
Send your room counts, condition notes and key-return date through the quote form for a fixed figure before you book.

Why South Melbourne renters choose The Lease Cleaners
Property-specific expectations. South Melbourne rentals run to apartments, units and warehouse conversions, with quotes shaped by room counts and access, so the schedule follows the rooms and surfaces the property actually contains.
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.
Insured and police-checked cleaners. Every cleaner is fully insured and police-checked, and the business carries $20 million public liability insurance.
Quoted on your room counts. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and add-ons shape the price, which is more useful than applying a generic South Melbourne average.
Written scope before booking. Tenants, landlords and property managers get the agreed inclusions in writing, including what is excluded or priced separately.
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.
Access, parking and key handover in South Melbourne
Most buildings here require a lift booking and a loading-zone permit, and both take a few days to arrange. If there is a balcony, garage, courtyard, shared entry or rubbish left behind, list it with the quote request rather than saving it for cleaning day.
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.
The cleaner the access plan, the easier it is to protect your inspection window and avoid last-minute scope changes.

From your first quote to the final key
Three steps. A clearer handover.
- 01
Tell us about the property
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
South Melbourne cleaning questions, answered.
Clear answers about the scope, timing and handover.
Talk to the teamWill professional cleaning help with my South Melbourne handover?
A professional clean helps when the property is empty, the agent expects detailed surfaces and your time is already going into moving. For South Melbourne, we recommend comparing the entry report with the checklist before confirming add-ons, especially where balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes are likely to matter. For local scheduling, we also note access around Southbank, Albert Park, South Wharf, Middle Park and Port Melbourne.
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in South Melbourne?
The advertised guide starts at From $299 + GST for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom clean. Your South Melbourne quote is confirmed against your rooms, bathrooms, access and condition notes, because inner-city properties do not take the same time just because they are in the same area. We use Port Phillip access notes and nearby timing around Southbank and Albert Park to keep the booking realistic. It also helps when the move overlaps nearby Southbank, Albert Park, South Wharf, Middle Park and Port Melbourne.
When should I book my South Melbourne vacate clean?
Book once furniture is out and utilities are still connected. In South Melbourne, month-end and weekend handovers can fill quickly, so send the room count, access notes and key deadline as soon as they are known. Nearby work around Southbank and Albert Park is easier to schedule when the timing is clear. For local scheduling, we also note access around Southbank, Albert Park, South Wharf, Middle Park and Port Melbourne.
Is carpet steam cleaning included for South Melbourne rentals?
Carpet steam cleaning is available as an add-on, not part of the base end-of-lease rate. For South Melbourne homes near Southbank and Albert Park, allow drying time before the agent walkthrough rather than booking it immediately before inspection. That keeps the Port Phillip handover practical if keys, parking or agent timing change around Southbank, Albert Park, South Wharf, Middle Park and Port Melbourne.
What is included in an end of lease clean in South Melbourne?
An end-of-lease clean in South Melbourne is written around the full interior: oven and rangehood, cupboards and drawers, bathrooms, laundry, skirting boards, switches, floors, internal glass and tracks. Carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key collection are quoted separately, with access notes checked against Port Phillip and nearby Southbank and Albert Park. That keeps the Port Phillip handover practical if keys, parking or agent timing change around Southbank, Albert Park, South Wharf, Middle Park and Port Melbourne.
Is there re-clean support after a final inspection in South Melbourne?
If an agent flags an in-scope cleaning item after your South Melbourne inspection, send the report or photos within 72 hours. We arrange one eligible re-clean visit where access is available; exclusions such as damage and permanent marks still apply. Keep the South Melbourne key-return process clear, especially for handovers around Southbank and Albert Park. It also helps when the move overlaps nearby Southbank, Albert Park, South Wharf, Middle Park and Port Melbourne.
