Get your full bond back with a clean that meets real estate agent standards — every time. Our end of lease cleaning follows a 100+ point checklist built from what Melbourne property managers actually inspect. If the agent isn’t satisfied, we come back and fix it free.
We guarantee your clean will pass the final inspection. If your property manager or real estate agent raises any cleaning issues within 72 hours of our visit, we’ll return and re-clean the flagged areas at no extra cost.
Most bond disputes come down to the oven, range hood, and bathroom grout. We spend extra time on these areas because we know what agents look for.

Excel Cleaning has been keeping Melbourne homes spotless since 2013. What started as a small family business in Moonee Ponds has grown into one of the city’s most trusted cleaning teams, with over 500k + cleans completed across 385 suburbs.
We’re not a franchise and we’re not an app. Every cleaner on our team is hand-picked, police-checked, and fully insured. We match you with one person who learns your home and comes back every visit. No rotating rosters, no strangers, no surprises.
Whether it’s a weekly clean, a one-off reset, or help through a government-funded programme, the standard is the same: reliable, thorough, and respectful of your space.
We’ve done thousands of vacate cleans across Melbourne. Here’s why tenants trust us with their bond.
If the agent isn’t satisfied with the clean, we come back and re-clean at no cost. We’ve been doing this since 2013 — we know what passes inspection and what doesn’t.
Our checklist is built from years of working with Melbourne property managers. It covers the items agents actually inspect — not just the obvious ones.
Every cleaner holds public liability insurance and a current national police check. We’re cleaning your property when it’s empty and unlocked — you need to know it’s in safe hands.
Need a last-minute vacate clean? We offer same-day and next-day bookings when available. Call us directly for urgent requests.
We clean every room, every surface, and every detail on the agent’s list. Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, laundry, garage, balcony — nothing is skipped.
From Toorak to Craigieburn, Brunswick to Berwick — we cover Melbourne’s inner, eastern, northern, western, and south-eastern suburbs.

End of lease cleaning in Melbourne typically costs between $250 and $550+ depending on the size of the property and its condition. A standard 2-bedroom apartment usually falls between $300 and $400, while a 3-bedroom house with 2 bathrooms ranges from $400 to $550. Add-ons like carpet steam cleaning and external windows are quoted separately. Contact us with your property details for an exact price.
A typical end of lease clean takes 4 to 8 hours. A 1-bedroom apartment takes around 3 to 4 hours, while a 3-bedroom house takes 5 to 7 hours. Larger properties or homes that haven’t been cleaned regularly may take longer. We recommend booking the clean for the day after furniture removal — an empty property is faster and more thorough to clean.
No. Most tenants give us the keys or access code and go about their day. We lock up when we’re done and return keys however you prefer — to you directly, to the real estate agent, or back through the letterbox.
That’s what our bond-back guarantee covers. If your property manager raises any cleaning issues within 72 hours of our clean, contact us and we’ll return to re-clean the flagged areas at no extra cost. The guarantee covers all items on our original checklist.
Most Melbourne leases require professional carpet steam cleaning at vacate. We can arrange this as an add-on to your end of lease clean so everything is done in one visit. Carpet cleaning is quoted per room on top of the standard vacate clean price.
Book at least 2 weeks before your move-out date. End of lease cleaning is busiest at the end of each month and during the December–February moving season. Same-day bookings are available when our schedule allows, but we can’t guarantee availability for last-minute requests.
Yes. We bring professional-grade cleaning products and all equipment. If your property manager requires specific products, let us know in advance and we’ll accommodate.
