“Solid clean and good communication. One window on the back deck was missed, I sent a photo that evening and someone came past the next morning. Handled well, but I'd rather it had been right the first time.”

A vacate clean in Balaclava is planned for an empty rental, not a quick tidy-up around boxes and furniture. The team works from a written scope, so kitchens, bathrooms, floors, cupboards, internal glass and add-ons are clear before cleaning day.
Balaclava properties are quoted around the actual layout, not just the suburb name. For apartments, units and warehouse conversions, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, we pay close attention to cleaning support near st kilda east and ripponlea and any access details you flag before booking.
We also plan nearby work around St Kilda East, Ripponlea and St Kilda, so a Balaclava clean can be scheduled with realistic travel, access and key-return timing.
Before we confirm a Balaclava vacate clean, we ask about same-week inspection changes, likely inspection issues such as door handles and switches, and practical notes like parking instructions. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
Our bond-back support is a practical re-clean promise, not a claim that cleaning can fix damage or guarantee every dollar of bond. If your agent flags an eligible in-scope cleaning item within 72 hours, send the report or photos and we arrange one complimentary re-clean visit where access is available.
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.
Bathrooms include shower screens, basins, toilets, mirrors, tapware, vanities and accessible vents. In Balaclava, extra bathrooms are listed clearly because they change the time on site.
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.
Add-ons are kept separate so there is no confusion on cleaning day. Garages, balconies, courtyards, flea treatment and key movement need to be confirmed before the job is accepted.
Balaclava vacate cleaning is priced from From $299 + GST, then adjusted against the details that change the work: room count, bathrooms, soil level, access and add-ons.
| Property | Vacate 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.
Apartments and terraces need clear access notes. Tell us about fobs, loading zones, service lifts, lockboxes and whether the agent holds keys.
Aim to clean before the final inspection, not after it. A walkthrough buffer gives you time to raise anything that looks different from the agreed scope.
For nearby moves around St Kilda East, Ripponlea and St Kilda, 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. Vacate cleaning uses the end-of-lease room-count guide, then adjusts for bathrooms, condition, access and requested add-ons.

Report an in-scope end-of-lease cleaning issue within 72 hours, with evidence and access, for one complimentary re-clean. Conditions apply.
