End of lease and vacate cleaning in The Patch
An exit clean in The Patch 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.
In The Patch, we commonly plan around outer-eastern homes on generous blocks. The Patch has a lower-density rental mix, so the quote leans on room counts, garages and outdoor access, instead of assuming every property takes the same time.
The Patch is part of our Yarra Ranges service area, with nearby coverage across Kallista, Selby and Sherbrooke.
Final inspections here often come down to wood heaters and hearths, flyscreens, and the dust and leaf litter that collects on tracks and sills, 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 The Patch sits close to Kallista, Selby and Sherbrooke, access timing and key pickup can often be planned around nearby jobs when the schedule allows.
What is included in your The Patch end of lease clean
The base scope for The Patch 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 The Patch 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 The Patch 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 wood heaters and hearths, flyscreens, and the dust and leaf litter that collects on tracks and sills, 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 The Patch?
A vacate clean in The Patch is quoted from the rate card below, then adjusted for condition, extra bathrooms, storeys and extras such as carpet steam cleaning or exterior windows.
| 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. Bush blocks bring more dust and debris indoors than suburbs on the flat. 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 The Patch renters choose The Lease Cleaners
Property-specific expectations. The Patch rentals run to outer-eastern homes on generous blocks, so the schedule follows the rooms and surfaces the property actually contains.
Quoted on your room counts. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and add-ons shape the price, which is more useful than applying a generic The Patch average.
Local handover planning. The Patch sits in Yarra Ranges, with nearby coverage around Kallista and Selby, so access and timing are discussed before the day.
Insured and police-checked cleaners. Every cleaner is fully insured and police-checked, and the business carries $20 million public liability insurance.
Written scope before booking. Tenants, landlords and property managers get the agreed inclusions in writing, including what is excluded or priced separately.
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.
Planning access for your The Patch clean
Carports and unsealed driveways are common, and tree debris around entries is worth mentioning. 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.
We also service Kallista, Selby and Sherbrooke, so nearby move dates can often be planned together when availability allows.
