·Google Review“Very thorough on the kitchen and bathrooms. Carpets were booked separately and took longer to dry than I'd planned for, so leave yourself a day before the inspection rather than cutting it fine.”

When a South Wharf rental is ready to hand back, the useful question is not whether it looks generally tidy. It is whether the rooms, fixtures, cupboards, tracks and floors match the inspection scope agreed before the clean.
A South Wharf rental handover can involve apartments and compact inner-city units, from compact rentals through to larger family layouts, so bedrooms and bathrooms are only part of the quote. Cleaning support near Southbank and South Melbourne also affects how much time the team needs on site.
South Wharf sits in our inner melbourne service area, with nearby move-out cleaning support around Southbank, South Melbourne and Docklands. That helps us plan realistic travel, access and key-return timing when inspection dates move.
Before we confirm a South Wharf move-out clean, we ask about tight handover gaps between tenants, likely inspection issues such as skirting dust, and practical notes like clear notes about stairs or lifts. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
A South Wharf move-out quote is checked against your property notes, photos and access details. That helps us ask the right questions about parking, internal glass, storage areas, garages and any add-ons before the booking is accepted.
If the South Wharf agent has already mentioned oven grease, bathroom screens, pet hair, carpet cleaning or exterior glass, send those notes with the quote request. They can change the time on site and whether an add-on is needed.
The guarantee is tied to the agreed cleaning scope. If a South Wharf agent reports an eligible missed cleaning item within 72 hours, we check it against the quote and arrange one return visit where access can be provided.
The guarantee does not cover permanent stains, damaged surfaces, worn finishes, unpaid rent, rubbish removal, pest treatment, mould inside silicone, or work that was excluded from your quote. This is why we list carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key pickup separately before you book.
Cooking areas are checked carefully because agents often photograph ovens, rangehoods and cabinet interiors. Fridge, dishwasher and microwave interiors can be added when requested.
Showers, bath, toilet, vanity, basin, tapware, mirrors, cabinet interiors and accessible extractor vents. Extra bathrooms are priced separately because they often decide how long the clean takes.
Once the property is empty, the team can reach wardrobe interiors, skirting boards, switches, handles, doors, storage areas and the surfaces that are usually hidden during the tenancy.
Hard floors are swept and mopped, carpets are vacuumed, and accessible internal glass, sills and tracks are cleaned. Steam cleaning and outside glass are priced separately.
Laundry areas cover benches, sinks, tapware, cupboards and floors. South Wharf rental handover planning should be mentioned if you expect those areas to be checked closely.
For South Wharf, From $299 + GST is the published starting point. The confirmed figure depends on bathrooms, storeys, condition, access and whether extras such as carpet steam cleaning are needed.
| Property | Move out cleaning, 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 extra bathroom adds $30, while carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key movement are quoted separately.
The access plan matters as much as the checklist. For South Wharf, tell us about keys, parking, shared entries, garages, balconies and any exterior glass you want included.
Book after furniture removal, with power and water still connected. Keep your entry condition report handy, point out pre-existing damage and leave enough time between the clean and final inspection for a walkthrough.
For nearby moves around Southbank, South Melbourne and Docklands, the same quote process applies: send room counts, condition notes and your key-return date through the quote form, then we confirm the scope in writing.
Choose the service wording that matches your handover: end of lease, vacate, move-out or bond cleaning.
From $299 + GST. Move out cleaning uses the end-of-lease room-count guide, then adjusts for bathrooms, condition, access and requested add-ons.

Confirm the price, included work and any extras before your booking is accepted.
We work through the agreed scope. Leave time for a walk-through before returning the keys.
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.
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
Clear answers about scope, timing, price and bond-back re-clean support.
Talk to the teamSame-week availability depends on the inspection date and property size. Month-end books out first, so it is better to request the South Wharf quote as soon as the move date is known.
Nearby support can include Southbank, South Melbourne and Docklands. The quote process is the same: address, rooms, condition notes, access and inspection deadline first.
If the agent flags an item that was included in your South Wharf scope, send the report or photos within 72 hours. We check the scope and arrange one eligible re-clean where access is available.
Use From $299 + GST as the base guide for a small standard property. Larger South Wharf rentals, extra bathrooms, heavy soil and add-ons are confirmed in writing before booking.
We cover the empty interior areas an inspection usually checks: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, wardrobes, cupboards, floors, internal glass, tracks, doors, handles, switches and skirting boards.
Carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages, courtyards, flea treatment and key pickup/drop-off are quoted separately. List them before booking so the South Wharf scope is accurate.
