End of Lease Cleaning Geelong – What a Rental Should Actually Look Like After a Clean
Moving out? Don’t risk your bond.
We get it — cleaning’s the last thing you want to deal with after packing boxes, changing addresses, and losing sleep over where you packed the toaster. But skipping a proper end-of-lease clean? That’s the fastest way to kiss your bond goodbye.
At Pinkerton Property Care, we know what Geelong real estate agents actually expect — because we work directly with them. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just a seriously thorough clean that gets the ✅.
What Real Estate Agents Look For:
✅ Windows (Inside & Out)
No cobwebs. No streaks. Just squeaky clean glass you forgot was that clear.
✅ Floors
Vacuumed, mopped, and not a crumb in sight. Even under the fridge.
✅ Oven + Rangehood
That baked-on lasagna situation? Gone. We get greasy so you don’t have to.
✅ Dishwasher (Yes — inside it)
You bet we clean the dishwasher. Because agents will open it, and no one wants to be remembered for a crusty filter and mystery smells. 🙈
✅ Skirting Boards & Walls
Dust, scuffs, pet hair — not on our watch.
✅ Bathrooms
Mould, grime, soap scum? Eliminated. We love a shiny tap moment.
✅ Kitchens
Cupboards, benchtops, splashbacks — all looking brand new.
✅ Light Fixtures & Ceiling Fans
Because yes, dust does go up there. And yes, we deal with it.
✅ Cobwebs (Interior & Exterior)
Corners, garages, water tanks — we get them all.
🕒 So… How Long Does It Actually Take?
We get asked this a lot. Because people often think we’ll be in and out in an hour with a feather duster and a spray bottle.
Reality check?
We send two cleaners to nearly every end-of-lease job, and most properties take 6–7 hours to do properly.
That’s 12 to 14 hours of total cleaning time. That’s a full Netflix season… but instead of watching it, we’re cleaning behind your toilet. 😅
So when you get your quote, just know:
It reflects serious time
Serious effort
And a seriously high standard
You're not just paying for cleaning — you're paying for peace of mind (and a full bond refund). 🎯
💸 Optional Extras We Can Help With
🧼 Oil stains on the driveway
