Quick answer
A Melbourne end of lease cleaning checklist should cover every room that an agent or property manager is likely to inspect. Start with the kitchen: benchtops, splashback, sink, taps, cupboards inside and out, cooktop, rangehood, oven exterior and floors. Bathrooms should include shower screens, tiles, grout, toilet, vanity, mirrors, taps and exhaust fans. Bedrooms and living areas should cover dusting, skirting boards, window sills, wardrobe interiors, vacuuming and mopping. Laundry areas need sinks, taps, cupboards and visible surfaces cleaned. O2OCleaning treats wall spot cleaning, window cleaning, garages, balconies and patios as additional services because they vary by property size and condition. Carpet steam cleaning is also selected separately when carpeted rooms need professional extraction before final inspection.

Kitchen inspection is the #1 reason bonds are withheld. Don’t risk it — let our professionals handle it.

Common questions about what’s included and what counts as additional.
No. Every property has a unique condition report from when you moved in. The checklist items listed above cover the standard inclusions, but your specific requirements may differ. We recommend checking your condition report and comparing it to our checklist. Items not in the standard package (like wall washing, balcony cleaning, or garage sweep & mopping) are available as additional services.
Additional services include: carpet steam cleaning ($100 minimum), fridge cleaning ($29-$45 per fridge), wall washing, balcony cleaning, garage sweep & mopping, external window cleaning, and mould removal. These are charged separately from the standard end of lease clean. View our full price list for details.
Most rental agreements in Melbourne require professional carpet steam cleaning. Check your lease agreement and condition report. If carpets are listed, you’ll need this service. We offer it as an add-on with a minimum charge of $100, covering bedrooms (max 20sqm each) and 1 living area (max 25sqm).
Contact us with a copy of your condition report and we’ll provide a customised quote that covers everything your property manager will inspect. We can add any extra items as additional services to ensure nothing is missed.
Correct. Our standard end of lease clean includes dusting blinds with a dry cloth or feather duster. Deep cleaning, wet washing, or ultrasonic blind cleaning is available as an additional service if required by your condition report.
If your landlord or property manager flags any cleaning issue after our end of lease clean, we return and re-clean the flagged areas at no additional cost. We strongly recommend that the property is fully vacated (all furniture and personal items removed) before our team arrives.
End of lease cleaning starts from $230 for a studio, $300 for a 1-bedroom, $345 for a 2-bedroom, and $390 for a 3-bedroom property (excluding carpet cleaning). We charge per project, not by the hour. View our full price list for with-carpet options.
