End of Lease Cleaning in St Kilda, Melbourne

Pricing depends on the size and condition of the property. A standard one-bedroom apartment in St Kilda typically starts from $220, a two-bedroom from $290, and a three-bedroom house from $380. Add-ons such as carpet steam cleaning, wall washing and exterior windows are quoted separately. We always provide a fixed written quote upfront — never per-hour billing — so you know the full cost before we begin.

No — most of our St Kilda clients hand over keys or share a lockbox code, and our team takes care of everything while they manage the move. We will send you photos at completion and a checklist so you have a clear record. If you prefer to be on-site, you are welcome to stay; many tenants drop in at the end for the final walk-through.

A studio or one-bedroom unit usually takes 3 to 4 hours, while a larger 3-bedroom house can take 6 to 8 hours with a two- or three-person team. We allocate enough cleaners to finish in one day so your handover is not delayed. For complex jobs (heavily soiled properties, builders' dust, long-term tenancies), we may schedule a two-day clean — we will flag this during quoting.

Carpet steam cleaning is offered as an optional add-on. Most St Kilda lease agreements specifically require professional carpet cleaning at the end of tenancy, with a receipt. When you bundle it with your bond clean we offer a discounted rate, and you receive one combined tax invoice that satisfies your agent's documentation requirements.

Our 100% bond-back guarantee covers exactly this scenario. If your property manager raises any cleaning-related issue within 72 hours of our visit, we return and re-clean the flagged areas free of charge. We have built this guarantee into every job because our reputation in St Kilda depends on it. You will never be charged twice for the same clean.

Yes — balconies, courtyards and patios are included in our standard bond cleaning checklist. We sweep, mop, wipe down railings and remove cobwebs. For apartments with shared outdoor areas (rooftop terraces, communal courtyards) we clean only the portion attributed to your unit, in line with most St Kilda lease agreements.

Absolutely. For unfurnished properties we focus on a complete top-to-bottom deep clean of all surfaces. For furnished rentals — common in St Kilda's short-term and serviced apartment market — we additionally dust and wipe down all furniture, clean inside wardrobes and drawers, and sanitise high-touch items such as remote controls and door handles. The quote is adjusted accordingly.

Spot cleaning of walls (removing small marks, fingerprints, scuffs) is included in our standard checklist. Full wall washing — where every wall in the property is washed top to bottom — is offered as a paid add-on for heavily soiled properties or long-term tenancies. We will assess this during the quote and recommend it only if needed to pass inspection.

Yes — every job includes a professional tax invoice on South East Cleaners letterhead, sent by email immediately after payment. This is important because most St Kilda property managers and real estate agents require documented proof of professional end-of-lease cleaning before they release your bond. Keep this invoice with your handover paperwork.

Yes — we offer same-day and next-day bookings subject to availability, and we operate 7 days a week including Saturdays and Sundays. St Kilda is one of our highest-demand suburbs, so weekend slots fill quickly during peak moving months (December–February and June). For urgent bookings, call +61 481 416 003 directly rather than using the online form.
