Real feedback from property managers and business owners who rely on The Lease Cleaners.
“Booked for a two-bedroom apartment with a week's notice. They spent the longest on the oven and the shower screen, which is exactly where our last inspection got picked up. The agent signed off the same afternoon and the full bond came back.”

·Google Review“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
For Southbank tenants, vacate cleaning works best once furniture is out and the cleaner can reach the surfaces the agent will check. We confirm the scope first, then clean against that written plan.
For Southbank, the quote starts with room counts and condition, then adds local details such as melbourne access and key planning and the surfaces most likely to matter at inspection.
The same vacate cleaning process applies across South Wharf, South Melbourne and Melbourne: written scope first, then a clean matched to the actual property layout, condition and inspection timing.
Before we confirm a Southbank vacate clean, we ask about weekend move-out pressure, likely inspection issues such as rangehood grease, and practical notes like the entry condition report. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
Bond outcomes can involve rent, damage and condition-report issues, so we keep the cleaning promise specific. Eligible in-scope items reported with evidence within 72 hours can receive one complimentary re-clean.
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.
Floors and tracks often show the move-out dust first. Tell us how many carpeted rooms and exterior windows need attention in Southbank so the quote is complete.
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.
The starting guide for Southbank vacate cleaning is From $299 + GST for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom property. Larger homes are quoted by room count, bathroom count, condition and requested 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.
Melbourne access and key planning. Share parking, key collection, stairs, lifts, garage access and inspection timing before the quote is accepted.
The best timing is after the movers have finished and before utilities are disconnected. Empty cupboards, remove rubbish and leave the entry report available if you want us to focus on agent-noted areas.
For nearby moves around South Wharf, South Melbourne and Melbourne, 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.

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 teamWe cover the empty interior areas an inspection usually checks: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, wardrobes, cupboards, floors, internal glass, tracks, doors, handles, switches and skirting boards.
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.
Carpet steam cleaning is quoted separately at $40 per room. Book it with enough drying time before final inspection, especially if your lease or condition report mentions professionally cleaned carpets.
Book after furniture and belongings are removed. If items are still inside, the team cannot reach every inspection surface and the written scope may need to be adjusted.
Use From $299 + GST as the base guide for a small standard property. Larger Southbank rentals, extra bathrooms, heavy soil and add-ons are confirmed in writing before booking.
