What end of lease cleaning in St Kilda involves
A detailed clean
Once a property is empty, the smaller details become easier to see. ELM works through kitchens, bathrooms, storage, fixtures, floors, and commonly overlooked edges across apartments, townhouses, and larger homes.
The right scope
Most St Kilda homes are apartments, so lift bookings, concierge procedures, keys, loading access and parking can shape the day. Share those details early so the team arrives with a clear access plan and enough time for the agreed work.
A clearer handover
Send any property-manager priorities with the enquiry. We use them alongside ELM's detailed Vacate Clean inclusions to build a clear quote and identify additional work before you book.
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 St Kilda?
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.
What is included in a St Kilda end-of-lease clean?
ELM's Vacate Clean covers detailed work across kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, storage, the entrance, and floors. Your quotation and inclusions document bring the agreed work into one clear property-specific scope.
Can ELM work with my property manager's checklist?
Yes. Send it when requesting a quote. It can help identify priorities and any items that sit outside the standard Vacate Clean inclusions before the booking is confirmed.
What access information should I provide for an apartment?
Tell us about keys, lift or concierge requirements, loading access, and parking when requesting a quote. ELM uses those details to assess the booking and plan access before cleaning day.
Can ELM assess a larger or more complex property?
Yes. ELM accepts suitable end-of-lease enquiries across St Kilda and assesses larger or more complex properties in advance so the scope and quote reflect the work required.
