“Booked them two days before the final inspection. They sent a team of three, worked for five hours, and the agent signed off without a single issue.”
Move out without the stress.
We clean to the standard your real estate agent expects. Every surface, fixture, and fitting is covered. You get a signed checklist when we leave so you have documentation for your property manager.

Every room, every surface, every fixture.
This is the checklist your cleaner works from. It matches what property managers inspect. You receive a signed copy when the clean is complete.

If the agent isn't satisfied, we come back.

Terms and conditions apply.
From quote to signed checklist in four steps.
Tell us the property
Suburb, number of rooms, and your move-out date. We quote within a few hours.
We confirm the scope
A quick call to confirm exactly what the agent expects. If you have a specific checklist from your property manager, we work from that.
We clean to inspection standard
Our team arrives on the agreed day with all products and equipment. Most properties take 4 to 8 hours depending on size and condition.
You get the signed checklist
A room-by-room record of everything that was cleaned, signed by the lead cleaner. You hand it to the agent at the inspection.
Transparent pricing, no surprises on the day.
These are guide ranges for standard end-of-lease cleans. The final quote depends on the size of the property, its current condition, and any extras like carpet steam cleaning or window washing. We confirm the exact price before any work starts.
What tenants have said
“I've used three different companies for end-of-lease cleans over the years. ELM was the first one that actually cleaned the window tracks and the rangehood filter.”
“My property manager has a reputation for being difficult. I told ELM that upfront and they asked for the agent's specific checklist before they started. Passed first time.”
“They provided a signed checklist after the clean, which saved me when the landlord tried to dispute the oven. Documentation made all the difference.”
“Clean was booked for a Saturday and done by the afternoon. Keys handed back Monday, bond returned in full. Exactly what I needed.”
“The team was professional and efficient. They knew exactly what agents look for and worked through everything systematically. No call-backs needed.”
Everything tenants ask before booking.
How far in advance should I book?−
We recommend at least a week before your move-out date, but we can often accommodate shorter notice. End-of-lease cleans are high demand around the end of each month, so earlier is better.
What if my agent has their own checklist?+
Send it through when you book. We'll work from their checklist rather than ours, so the clean matches exactly what they inspect against.
Do you do carpet steam cleaning?+
We can arrange it as an add-on. It's quoted separately based on the number of rooms and carpet condition. Most agents require a separate carpet cleaning receipt, which we provide.
How long does an end-of-lease clean take?+
A standard 2-bedroom apartment takes 4 to 5 hours. A 3-bedroom house is usually 5 to 7 hours. Larger properties or properties in poor condition may take longer, which we'll confirm at the quote stage.
What if the agent fails the inspection?+
If issues are raised within 72 hours of the inspection, we come back and address them at no extra charge. We compare the agent's feedback against our signed checklist and fix anything that was genuinely missed.
Do I need to be there during the clean?+
No. Most tenants hand over keys or arrange key-safe access. We lock up when we're done and send you photos of the completed clean along with the signed checklist.
