Cost of Vacate Cleaning In Melbourne?
When ending a lease in Melbourne, there is lot to do including the cleaning. It’s certainly a good idea to hire professional end of lease cleaners to help you get your bond back. This cleaning service is also commonly referred to as Vacate Cleaning Melbourne.
Vacate Cleaning Services are not just limited to an ending lease. Whether you are preparing your house for sale, or even handing it back to the owners, you need to get it cleaned. This brings us to our main topic.
How much does Vacate Cleaning Cost?
Undoubtedly, cleaning a house top to bottom requires a lot of time and elbow grease. To help calculate cost, we need to keep the property size, condition and layout in mind. If you have carpets, you would need to get it professionally steam cleaned. Let’s look at some estimates below.
A professional cleaning company would charge anywhere between $40 per hour to $50 per hour per person for cleaning. So, if your property takes 4 hours to clean, you can expect to pay between $160 to $200 depending on the hourly cost.
Generally, vacate cleaners will quote you based on the number of hours estimated for your property size. For example, a vacate cleaning company in Melbourne charges $45 per hour for exit cleaning. They estimate around 5 hours for cleaning a standard size 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in reasonable condition. Based on this calculation, they quote $225 for apartment cleaning. Carpet Steam Cleaning is quoted an extra $75 assuming carpets in 2 bedrooms and a small living room.
In Contrast, In Canberra, this can cost you more. So, a same 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment would cost you around $400 for bond back cleaning.
Be ready to pay extra for any outside cleaning like the porch, outside windows, balcony, so on and so forth.
