“Old place with sash windows and a lot of dust traps in the cornices. They didn't rush it and didn't pretend the worn floorboards were something a clean could fix. Straight answers, good result.”

·Google ReviewYour local vacate cleaning guide
A good Carnegie vacate clean removes the guesswork from the last week of moving. You get a clear list of inclusions, separate add-ons and realistic timing before the team arrives.
In Carnegie, we commonly allow for southern homes, townhouses and unit blocks. The local inspection pressure is usually around bathroom grout, internal glass, sandy entries, balconies, tracks and salt-marked surfaces near the bay, with the final scope shaped by your photos, room count and agent notes.
Because Carnegie connects with nearby rental handovers in Glen Huntly, Caulfield East, Murrumbeena, Malvern East and Ormond, we ask for access notes early rather than trying to solve them on cleaning day.
Before we confirm a Carnegie vacate clean, we ask about lockbox or agent-key collection, likely inspection issues such as window tracks, and practical notes like a list of excluded add-ons. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
For Carnegie handovers, the safest approach is a clear scope before the clean and a clear process after inspection. Send photos or the agent report within 72 hours if an eligible included item is raised.
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.
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.
Use From $299 + GST as the first pricing marker for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom Carnegie clean. The quote is confirmed only after the actual property details are clear.
| 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.
Southern homes, townhouses and unit blocks. Parking and shared entries vary street to street, so key access, exterior glass and balcony scope are best confirmed upfront.
Clear belongings first, leave power and water on, and tell us what the agent has already mentioned. That helps separate cleaning from wear, damage or excluded work.
For nearby moves around Glen Huntly, Caulfield East and Murrumbeena, 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.

Talk to the teamWe regularly quote nearby moves around Glen Huntly, Caulfield East and Murrumbeena. Availability depends on the date, property size and whether add-ons such as carpets or exterior windows are required.
Yes. Vacate cleaning is priced for an empty property because the team needs access to cupboards, floors, skirting boards, doors and surfaces that furniture can block. If furniture is still in place, tell us before booking so the scope is realistic.
Remove belongings, empty cupboards, leave power and water connected, and share keys, parking and agent timing. For Carnegie, also mention bathroom grout, internal glass, sandy entries, balconies, tracks and salt-marked surfaces near the bay.
The guide starts at From $299 + GST. For Carnegie, the confirmed quote is based on room count, bathroom count, condition, parking or access and any extras you want included.
Bond-back support means one eligible re-clean for included cleaning items reported with evidence within 72 hours. It does not promise the return of the whole bond because non-cleaning issues can affect that outcome.
The standard empty-property scope covers kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, bedrooms, living areas, floors, internal windows, sills, tracks, switches, doors, skirting boards and empty cupboards. Extras are confirmed before booking.
