AUD, fixed, including GST and the Care & Cover fee, for an empty home with no extras or discount code. The oven, inside cupboards and interior windows are included. “Cleaner time booked” is the planning allowance for one cleaner, not a measured time: two cleaners share it and are on site for about half as long, at the same price. Homes larger than 5 bedrooms or 3 bathrooms are priced in booking. The price is the same in every city we serve.

Market check
What do Melbourne companies charge for an end of lease clean?
Eight Melbourne companies publish end of lease prices: with GST added where a price leaves it out, one bedroom runs from $270 to $468, two bedrooms from $300 to $498 and three bedrooms from $340 to $578; the table shows our live price alongside those dated quotes; check what each covers.
Every Melbourne price list we read includes the oven. Walls are wiped for marks, not washed: a full wall wash is extra everywhere, at about $35 to $60 a wall. Carpet steam cleaning, outside windows, blinds, the balcony and the garage are extras too.
The low ends are not like for like. Three price lists price three- and four-bedroom homes with one bathroom and one says it charges no GST. Re-clean promises ranged from 24 hours to 7 days, always limited to the work booked, and some need the home to stay empty or the agent's written report.
One Melbourne price list was identical to another company's, price for price, so we counted it once.
End of lease clean. Of 23 published prices from 3 companies for the same bedrooms and bathrooms as a home we price, 14 are lower than ours and 9 are higher. Also listed, not counted: 10 without stated GST treatment, 8 starting prices and 5 without a bathroom count.

Published prices read from each provider’s own website on 12 October 2026, as advertised, not quotes for a specific home. GST is shown only where the provider states it; an ex-GST price is compared with 10% added. A price is counted as lower or higher only when it is a stated price for the same bedrooms and bathrooms and is not a regular-visit rate. A page that doesn’t mention a task tells us nothing about whether it is included. Comparison guides, provider-written "average" guides and marketplace estimates are left out because their figures are compiled from other guides.
What does our price include?
The oven, range hood, inside cupboards and drawers, the dishwasher and interior windows and tracks are included; full wall washing, a balcony, the garage and blinds are extras. A home with some build-up costs $96 more, and one that needs a proper reset $191 more.
The checklist below is the one your cleaner works from. Our prices are the same in every city we serve, so the table at the top applies in Melbourne. For what the prices assume and how cleaner time works, see the national guide. For regular and deep cleaning in Melbourne, see Melbourne cleaning prices.
This summary does not replace the end-of-lease checklist. The home-clean package includes the named interiors. Carpet extraction and the other named extras must be selected separately. Describe the condition, arrange access, and check your agreement and local guidance for any tenancy requirement.

What should I set aside for the complete job?
Start with the home clean and its condition allowance, then check any additional carpet or furnishing work before comparing final totals.
Price the areas you need using carpet cleaning costs in Melbourne and, if relevant, upholstery cleaning costs in Melbourne. Do not add standalone checkout totals together: ask for one combined quote so minimum charges and fees are handled correctly.
Use the end-of-lease planning checklist to organise the handover, or download the printable cleaning checklist to record the work. A planning checklist does not add tasks to a booked service; compare it with the inclusions above.
From our booking records
What size homes do Melbourne renters book end of lease cleans for?
Mostly small ones: 73% of our Melbourne end of lease cleans on our previous booking platform were one- or two-bedroom homes.

| 1 bedroom | 44 | 25.4% |

Completed move-in and move-out cleans on our previous booking platform, Melbourne, November 2017 to December 2024: 173 bookings from 166 customers. That platform sold one combined move-in/move-out clean, so the two can't be separated, and it didn't record whether a home was a unit or a house. Our current platform's 3 end of lease cleans since April 2026 are too few to add yet. Computed 2 October 2026. In 2021 the median Melbourne end of lease booking was charged $448 (61 bookings, all sizes, old rate card); no other year has enough bookings to publish.
From our booking records
What did Melbourne renters add on top?
Carpet steam cleaning, far more than elsewhere: 35% of our Melbourne end of lease bookings added it, against 17% in Sydney; 56% added something beyond the standard bundle.
Carpet steam cleaning is recorded on our previous platform and is available as a separately selected extra today. See the carpet pricing guide for current rates. The bundle's own oven, cupboard and window items are not counted as extras.

When do Melbourne renters book?
About a week ahead: the median Melbourne booking was made 7 days before the clean.
Book for after the removalists and a few days before the final inspection, with the power and water still on.

What makes Melbourne quotes differ?
Carpets, more than anywhere else we work: carpet steam cleaning was added to about a third of our Melbourne end of lease bookings, twice the Sydney rate, so a quote with and a quote without carpet are very different numbers.
Carpets
Melbourne companies that list a carpet add-on charge about $40 to $60 a room. Check whether your lease or pet approval genuinely needs it (see the Victorian rule below) before you add it.
Bathrooms
Some Melbourne price lists price a three-bedroom home with one bathroom. A family home with an ensuite is a different job; count every bathroom on every quote.
Furnished or empty
One Melbourne company publishes separate prices for furnished homes, about $75 to $100 more. Cleaning an empty home is quicker and more thorough, so book the clean for after the removalists.
For the full quote checklist, see how to compare two quotes fairly.
Ask each provider for the same written scope, pricing unit, frequency, minimum and full total. An unstated inclusion or GST treatment is unknown. A starting price, historical bill and current fixed quote are different kinds of evidence.

Choosing between providers? End of lease cleaning providers in Melbourne compared. Compare move-out providers’ inclusions, carpet extras, inspection timing and re-clean conditions.
Can a Victorian rental provider ask for a professional clean?
Only in two cases for agreements made from 29 March 2021: when a professional clean is needed to return the home to its condition at the start (for example, it was professionally cleaned before you moved in), or when its state requires it.
The detail for Victoria, including carpets, pets and what a lease can't require, is in our guide to moving out of a rental in Victoria. For how the rules compare across states, see do you need professional end-of-lease cleaners?
What if the agent says it isn't clean enough?
Ask to see the exit condition report and the cost behind the claim; if you still disagree, Rental Dispute Resolution Victoria can help for free, and VCAT decides if you can't agree.
In 2024–25, 65% of Victorian bonds went back to renters in full, 10% to rental providers in full and 25% were shared, and 96% were settled by agreement (RTBA annual report). Be at the final inspection if you can, and keep dated photos.
If something on our checklist was missed, tell us within 48 hours of the clean, with photos if you have them. We schedule a re-clean of those items at no cost, completed within seven business days of the original clean, and if it is still not right we give a fair credit or refund (terms). Book the clean a few days before the final inspection so there is time for that. It is a re-clean promise, not a bond guarantee: nobody can promise the outcome of a bond claim.
Melbourne end of lease price questions
How much is a vacate clean in Melbourne?
With Simply Maid, $423 for a 1 bed, 1 bath home, $455 for 2 bed, 1 bath and $519 for 3 bed, 2 bath, fixed and including GST, for an empty home that has been kept on top of, with no extras or discount code.
Does my lease's professional clean clause count?
For agreements from 29 March 2021, only if a professional clean is needed to return the home to its starting condition, or its state requires it. A clause on its own isn't enough.
Can I be at the final inspection?
Yes. Your rental provider must complete the exit condition report within 10 days of the agreement ending and give you a reasonable chance to attend.
Do you steam clean carpets in Melbourne?
Carpet steam cleaning can be selected separately from the house clean. Enter your address to check availability with an equipped cleaner. Vacuuming is included; professional extraction is an extra. Confirm any lease or pet-approval requirement and keep your receipt.
Does it cost more on a Saturday or in January?
No. Our price is the same on any day and in any month, and the same for a unit, townhouse or house. The only date-related charge is a same-day booking fee, which booking asks you to accept first.
How long does an end of lease clean take?
We book 4h 30m of cleaner time for a 1 bed, 1 bath home, 4h 50m for 2 bed, 1 bath and 5h 30m for 3 bed, 2 bath. Two cleaners share that time, so they are on site for about half as long; a home that needs a proper reset adds up to 2h, and extra hours can be added at $93 per cleaner-hour.
How we worked out these figures
Today's prices come from our live booking calculator, Melbourne market prices from local companies' own websites (read 12 October 2026), and history from our completed bookings, each labelled where it appears.
Prices are read from the same calculator the booking form uses each time this page is shown; it has no location input, so they are the same in every city. Market prices are those Melbourne companies publish on their own websites for end of lease cleans of 1 to 4 bedrooms; we leave out comparison guides, marketplace estimates, copied or network tables, pages dated before 2025 and prices that include carpet steam cleaning, and we never average the ends of a range. Booking history is from our previous platform (December 2015 to March 2025); a median needs 30 bookings from 20 customers and a share needs 30. The national guide sets out the method in full.
