What is end of lease cleaning in Melbourne?
End of lease cleaning is a detailed clean of an empty rental property, carried out against a real-estate style checklist so the home meets the condition expected at the final inspection. In Melbourne it is also called bond cleaning, vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or simply lease cleaning — these are different names for the same service, not different services. Nivara Cleaning charges a fixed price from $299, includes all equipment and products, and backs every clean with a free re-clean of any agreed checklist item flagged within 72 hours of the service.
- Typical price
- $299–$699 depending on bedrooms, bathrooms and extras
- Typical duration
- 3–5 hours for most properties; 2–3 hours for a 1-bedroom
- Booking notice
- Same-day available; call 0468 490 764 for urgent slots
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Melbourne?
End of lease cleaning in Melbourne starts at $299. The price is fixed before we start and depends on bedrooms, bathrooms, property type and any extras you add. There are no call-out fees and no travel surcharges anywhere in metropolitan Melbourne.

How long does an end of lease clean take?
Most end of lease cleans in Melbourne take 3 to 5 hours. A studio or 1-bedroom apartment is usually finished in 2 to 3 hours, and a 3-bedroom home typically takes 4 to 6 hours. Three things push the time up: the property's condition, whether extras like carpet steam cleaning or wall washing are included, and the number of storeys — stairs and multiple levels add time, which is why double-storey homes carry a 12% loading and triple-storey homes 20%.
You do not need to be there. We can collect and return keys, work with an agent lockbox or building concierge, and send completion photos when the job is finished. Book the clean for after the removalists have finished and before your final inspection so nothing is walked back through a cleaned property.
End of lease cleaning vs bond cleaning vs vacate cleaning
These terms all describe the same job. The difference is regional habit, not scope — no Australian state defines them as separate services, and no agent expects a different standard depending on which word appears on your invoice.
| Term | Where it is used | What it actually means |
|---|---|---|
| End of lease cleaning | Most common in NSW and Victoria | The full clean of an empty rental at the end of a tenancy. |
| Bond cleaning | Most common in Queensland | The same clean, named after the bond you are trying to recover. |
| Vacate cleaning | Most common in WA and South Australia | The same clean, named after the act of vacating the property. |
| Exit clean / move out cleaning | Used nationally and by agencies | The same clean, described by when it happens rather than why. |
How this differs from a deep clean
A deep clean and an end of lease clean overlap, but they are not the same booking. A deep clean is for a property you are still living in — it resets build-up but works around your furniture. An end of lease clean assumes the property is empty, covers inside every cupboard and drawer, and is measured against an inspection standard rather than a general sense of clean. If you are moving out, book the end of lease service.
Who we clean for in Melbourne
Tenants moving out
Renters who want the property to meet the standard recorded in their entry condition report, and want documentation if the bond is later disputed.
Landlords and investors
Owners preparing a property between tenancies, before a valuation, or ahead of listing it for sale or re-lease.
Property managers and agents
Agencies coordinating turnover across a portfolio, who need a consistent checklist standard and a clean invoice trail.
How bonds work in VIC
In VIC, residential bonds are held by the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) rather than by the agent or landlord directly. At the end of a tenancy the property is assessed against the condition report taken at the start, with fair wear and tear excluded. If the parties disagree about a deduction, the matter is decided by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). Consumer Affairs Victoria publishes the current rules on bonds, condition reports and cleaning obligations, and is the right source to check before you agree to any deduction.
A tenancy agreement generally cannot compel you to hire a professional cleaner — the obligation is about the property's condition, not who does the work. Most tenants book professionally because it is the fastest way to reach an inspection standard and because an itemised receipt is useful evidence if a deduction is later challenged. This is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Melbourne?
End of lease cleaning in Melbourne starts at $299. As a guide: 1 bedroom $299, 2 bedroom $399, 3 bedroom $499, 4 bedroom $549, 5 bedroom $649 and 6 bedroom $699. Your final price depends on bedrooms, bathrooms, property type and any extras such as carpet steam cleaning at $40 per area. The price is fixed before we start and there are no call-out or travel fees.
How long does an end of lease clean take?
Most Melbourne end of lease cleans take 3 to 5 hours. A studio or 1-bedroom is usually done in 2 to 3 hours and a 3-bedroom home in 4 to 6 hours. Condition, extras like carpet steam cleaning, and the number of storeys are what move the time up or down.
What is the difference between end of lease cleaning, bond cleaning and vacate cleaning?
They are different names for the same service. End of lease cleaning is the usual term in NSW and Victoria, bond cleaning in Queensland, and vacate cleaning in WA and South Australia. Exit cleaning and move out cleaning describe the same job again. All are covered by this service and the same checklist.
Is carpet steam cleaning included?
Carpet steam cleaning is an optional extra at $40 per area rather than part of the standard scope. Many leases require professional carpet cleaning where carpet is present and some agents ask for a receipt, so check your agreement and add it to the booking if needed.
Is oven cleaning included?
Yes. Oven interior cleaning including trays and racks is part of the standard end of lease scope at no extra charge. Additional ovens or steamer appliances in the same property are charged as an extra.
Do you clean windows, walls and skirting boards?
Interior windows with tracks and sills, skirting boards, cornices, switches, power points and accessible fittings are all standard, along with one set of internal and external glass doors. Wall washing is an optional extra, since full wall washing is only needed where walls are marked beyond fair wear and tear.
What happens if my agent is not satisfied?
If your agent or landlord flags an item that was on your agreed checklist, contact us within 72 hours of the clean and we return to re-clean those items free of charge. The guarantee covers the scope you booked; it does not cover damage, repairs, or work never included in the checklist.
Can I book a same-day or next-day end of lease clean?
Yes, subject to availability. Call 0468 490 764 rather than submitting a form, as the phone is the fastest way to secure an urgent slot. We operate 7 AM to 6 PM, seven days a week.
Do I need to be there during the clean?
No. Most end of lease clients are not present. We can collect and return keys, work with an agent lockbox or building concierge, and send completion photos when the job is done.
Do you bring products and equipment?
Yes. Our cleaners arrive with all professional equipment and non-toxic products needed for the booked scope, at no extra cost.
When is payment taken?
Payment is processed securely after your service is complete, not upfront, and is cashless.
