Real feedback from property managers and business owners who rely on The Lease Cleaners.
“Fair price, no upselling on the phone, and the quote didn't change on the day. Two cleaners, about five hours for a three-bedroom townhouse. The skirting boards and window tracks were the give-away that they'd actually done the detail work.”

For South Wharf 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.
In South Wharf, we commonly plan around apartments and compact inner-city units, from compact rentals through to larger family layouts. South Wharf is a smaller Melbourne locality, so access, keys and scope notes matter more than walk-in availability.
South Wharf is part of our Melbourne service area, with nearby coverage across Southbank, South Melbourne and Docklands.
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.
Nearby coverage includes Southbank, South Melbourne and Docklands, which helps when tenants, agents or landlords are coordinating more than one handover in the same area.
The base scope for South Wharf 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 detail is usually inspection-critical: oven interior, rangehood, stovetop, benches, splashback, sink and empty cupboards. We price extra appliances separately so the South Wharf scope is clear.
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 Wharf booking is confirmed.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
For South Wharf, 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.
If you are comparing prices around Southbank and South Melbourne, 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.
Use this checklist against your entry condition report before the keys go back. The team works from the agreed written scope, with extra attention to balcony glass, kitchen splashbacks in compact galley kitchens, and the inside of built-in wardrobes where the property calls for it.
For South Wharf homes near Southbank, South Melbourne and Docklands, flag garages, balconies, steep access, shared driveways or exterior glass before booking so the quote says exactly what is included.

Quoted on your room counts. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and add-ons shape the price, which is more useful than applying a generic South Wharf average.
Written scope before booking. Tenants, landlords and property managers get the agreed inclusions in writing, including what is excluded or priced separately.
Property-specific expectations. South Wharf rentals run to apartments and compact inner-city units, from compact rentals through to larger family layouts, so the schedule follows the rooms and surfaces the property actually contains.
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. South Wharf sits in Melbourne, with nearby coverage around Southbank and South Melbourne, so access and timing are discussed before the day.
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.
Building management usually controls lift access and the service entry, so the booking has to be made before the day. 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.
For handovers around Southbank and South Melbourne, clear access notes help the team arrive with the right equipment and enough time.
Choose the service wording that matches your handover: end of lease, vacate, move-out or bond cleaning.
From $299 + GST. End-of-lease base rate for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom property. Each extra bathroom adds $30, and condition, storeys and add-ons are quoted on top. Bond cleaning starts $20 lower at every size.

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.
