What end of lease cleaning in Hawthorn East involves
A detailed clean
From an apartment with a compact kitchen to a house with several bathrooms, the detail work is what matters at handover. We work through ovens, wet areas, built-in storage, window tracks and floors as part of the Vacate Clean.
The right scope
If you're in an apartment near Auburn Road, share the lift, building entry and parking arrangements. For a house or townhouse, let us know the levels, bathrooms and any finishes needing care, so the quote reflects the full property.
A clearer handover
Property managers can ask for particular attention on ovens, bathrooms or carpets at the final inspection. Send the checklist when you enquire, and we'll confirm which items the Vacate Clean covers and whether carpet steam cleaning should be added.
What the Vacate Clean covers
Moving out is busy enough. We clean the whole place so it's ready for the final inspection.
- The oven, rangehood and window tracks, every time.
- Cupboards and wardrobes cleaned inside once you've moved out.
- Skirting boards, light switches and floors throughout.

Questions renters ask
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Hawthorn East?
It depends on the size and condition of the property, and any extras like carpet steam cleaning or window glass. We give you a fixed quote before you book, so you'll know the full price up front.
How clean does my rental need to be when I move out?
Reasonably clean, and in the same condition as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Your entry condition report is the reference point, so it's worth keeping it handy for the final inspection.
Do my carpets need to be professionally cleaned?
Not always. For leases that started on or after 29 March 2021, it's only needed if the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in or they're in a state that needs it. If you do need it, we can add carpet steam cleaning to your quote.
Do I need to be home for the clean?
No. You can leave the keys with your agent or in a key safe, and we'll agree access and lock-up details with you before the day.
Do you clean Hawthorn East apartments as well as houses?
Yes. Close to half of Hawthorn East's homes are apartments, and the rest are mostly houses and townhouses. Tell us the property type, bathrooms and access when you get in touch.
What should I share for a Hawthorn East house with several bathrooms?
The number of bathrooms, toilets and living areas, plus any finishes that need care. Each wet area is part of the Vacate Clean, and knowing the count helps us plan the right team for the work.
