Wrapping up a lease in Malabar? Around Malabar you’re mostly looking at coastal homes wrapped around Long Bay, and we clean each one with the final inspection in mind. Our team covers every room, from the oven and rangehood to skirting boards and window tracks. Tell us the property size and moving date, and we’ll take it from there.
Getting Your Bond Back Starts in the Kitchen
The difference between a standard clean and a vacate clean is depth. We go inside the appliances, behind where the furniture sat, through every cupboard and along every skirting board. Kitchens and bathrooms get the heaviest attention because that’s where inspections are won or lost, but bedrooms, living areas, laundries and windows all get their turn. The result is a property that presents the way the agent expects to find it.
What Is Included in End of Lease Cleaning?
The exact service will depend on the size, condition and layout of the property, as well as the agreed cleaning checklist. A standard end of lease clean may include:
- Vacuuming carpets and accessible floor areas
- Mopping hard floors
- Dusting ledges, shelves and accessible surfaces
- Cleaning skirting boards
- Cleaning kitchens and bathrooms
- Wiping cupboard and drawer interiors
- Cleaning wardrobes and storage areas
- Cleaning internal windows
- Cleaning window tracks and frames
- Wiping doors, handles and switches
- Spot cleaning accessible wall marks
- Removing visible cobwebs
The kitchen is one of the most closely inspected areas during a rental handover. Grease, food residue, marks and dust can build up across benches, cupboards, appliances and splashbacks. Our end of lease kitchen cleaning service focuses on restoring a cleaner and more presentable appearance, including inside cupboards and drawers.
Bathrooms can develop soap residue, watermarks, dust, mould and grime throughout a tenancy. Our end of lease bathroom cleaning service may include showers, baths, toilets, vanities, mirrors, tiles, sinks, taps and accessible fixtures. We focus on the key surfaces and areas commonly reviewed during a final inspection.
Living rooms, dining areas, hallways and bedrooms often require detailed cleaning before a property is returned. We vacuum and mop floors, wipe accessible surfaces, clean skirting boards, and clean doors, handles and switches. Once furniture is removed, our cleaners can access corners, floor edges and storage areas more effectively.
Laundry areas can collect dust, lint, detergent residue and marks. We clean sinks, taps, cupboards, benches, floors, and skirting boards. We also clean accessible internal glass, frames, sills and window tracks, which can collect dust, dirt, insects and debris over time.

Preparing the property before our cleaners arrive can help the service run more efficiently. Where possible, remove furniture and personal belongings, empty cupboards and wardrobes, and ensure water and electricity remain connected

Moving Out of a Malabar Family Home?
As Eastern Suburbs cleaners, we know what agents around Malabar look for at the final inspection. Most of what we walk into is coastal homes wrapped around Long Bay. Bigger homes mean ovens, metres of skirting boards and built ins that all need attention before the walkthrough. Between Malabar Beach and the surrounding streets there’s smaller rental pool, bigger properties. Send us your address and handover date and we’ll fit the clean around it.

End of Lease Cleaning Malabar FAQs
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Malabar?
Around Malabar we mostly quote family homes, so price depends on bedrooms, bathrooms, the state of the kitchen and extras like carpets, walls or the garage. Share the property details and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee my bond will be returned?
The bond decision sits with your landlord or property manager and can involve matters beyond cleaning. What we can promise is a thorough clean completed to the agreed scope, which takes cleaning off the list of reasons to withhold it.
Do you clean inside cupboards and wardrobes?
We do, as long as they’re empty on the day so our cleaners can reach every shelf and corner.
Can you clean the balcony, courtyard or garage?
Yes. These areas can be added to the scope when you book.
What is included in an end of lease clean?
