Call 0399624446 or submit the online form with your move-out date, property address, and agent's contact. We confirm a two-hour arrival window, usually within 48-72 hours, and email a quote breakdown covering square metreage, stain surcharges, and pet treatment if flagged. You'll receive an SMS 60 minutes before arrival with the technician's name and van photo so you can coordinate key access or lockbox codes.
The technician photographs every room and marks stains, wear zones, and odour sources on a floor plan for the receipt documentation. We apply targeted pre-sprays: alkaline emulsifier for traffic soil, enzyme digester for pet urine, tannin spotter for beverage stains, and solvent for grease. Pre-treatment sits for 10-15 minutes to break molecular bonds before extraction begins, which is the step DIY machines skip and why they fail on embedded soil.
We inject 90-95°C water at controlled pressure through a wand head, agitate the pile with counter-rotating brushes, and vacuum extract in overlapping passes. The truck-mount generates 500 PSI lift and heats water on demand, unlike portable units that lose temperature and suction after 20 minutes. Each room receives two extraction passes: one to flush soil, one to rinse chemistry. We groom pile direction with a carpet rake so fibres stand uniform for inspection photos.
You walk through every room while the carpet is still damp to flag any remaining marks; we re-spot and re-extract on the spot at no extra charge. We take after-photos matching the before shots, print or email an itemised receipt with our ABN, business name, service date, and treatment detail, and leave care instructions. The receipt format meets the template most Melbourne real estate agencies require for bond release, and we send a duplicate to your agent if requested.
If the agent rejects the clean at final inspection and provides written feedback within seven days, we return and re-clean the flagged areas at no charge. This happens in under 2% of jobs and usually involves a single stain that needs a second enzyme treatment. We also offer a 14-day odour callback: if pet smell returns due to underlay wicking, we'll re-treat with sub-surface injection to neutralise the source.
Melbourne has its own quirks for end of lease carpet cleaning — property mix, climate, access challenges. Here's how we adapt the work to suit.
Heritage homes, apartments, retail strips — we adapt end of lease carpet cleaning method to each building type.
Climate and humidity in Melbourne affect timing — we plan around them, not against them.
Tight streets in parts of Melbourne mean we plan equipment placement and clean-up before booking.
Every job is quoted on-site after a quick inspection, so the price is fixed with no surprises.
Every End of Lease Carpet Cleaning solution we use is Green Seal GS-37 Reliable, meaning zero VOCs, no phosphates, and no residue that irritates skin or airways. Tenants with asthma, young children, or pets can re-enter within 4 hours, and agents never flag chemical odour at inspection because the rinse water is pH-neutral and fragrance-free.
We issue an itemised receipt on ACN letterhead listing square metreage cleaned, treatments applied, technician name, and service date. This matches the documentation format 90% of Melbourne property managers require, and we email a copy to your agent on request so the bond release process isn't delayed by missing paperwork.
Our vans carry self-contained hot water systems that maintain 90°C temperature and 500 PSI vacuum for the entire job, unlike portable hire machines that drop to 60°C and 150 PSI after the first bedroom. This means we pull 95% of the rinse water on the first pass and dry times stay under 4 hours even in ground-floor units with poor airflow.
The quote you receive covers all standard End of Lease Carpet Cleaning work including pre-treatment, two-pass extraction, and grooming. Stain surcharges and pet urine treatment costs are stated upfront, not discovered on invoice day. If we find additional damage during the walk-through, we show you and explain the cost before proceeding, and you decide.
We hold capacity for urgent End of Lease Carpet Cleaning bookings within 48-72 hours because we know most tenants receive final inspection notices with short deadlines. If you call Monday needing a Friday clean before Saturday handover, we'll fit you in and provide the receipt same-day so you can forward it to your agent before the weekend.
"Booked End of Lease Carpet Cleaning three days before handover and the lounge pet stain that had been there for eight months disappeared completely. Agent approved the carpet on first inspection and we got our full $2,200 bond back within five days."
"The hallway traffic lane in our two-bedroom unit looked grey for six months despite weekly vacuuming. Melbourne Carpet Cleaners restored it to the original beige in one afternoon and issued the itemised receipt our property manager required. Dry time was under four hours."
"Called on a Monday needing End of Lease Carpet Cleaning by Thursday for a Friday inspection deadline. They fit us in Wednesday morning, removed a red wine stain from the bedroom, and emailed the receipt to our agent same day. No bond deduction."
A standard two-bedroom unit takes 2-3 hours from arrival to completion, including pre-treatment dwell time, two-pass extraction, and grooming. A three-bedroom house with stairs and heavy pet soiling can take 4-5 hours. Carpets dry in 3-6 hours depending on airflow, humidity, and pile density; we place air movers in closed rooms to cut dry time by 40%. You can hand keys back the same afternoon if you book a morning slot and the property has cross-ventilation.
Pricing ranges from $180-$280 for a one-bedroom unit, $240-$380 for a two-bedroom, and $320-$520 for a three-bedroom house, based on square metreage and soil load. Pet urine treatment adds $60-$120 per affected room because it requires enzyme injection and sub-surface flushing. Heavy stain pre-treatment (red wine, grease, blood) adds $30-$80 depending on the number and size of marks. We quote upfront after you describe the property size, floor plan, and any stains or odours the agent flagged, and the quote is fixed unless you request additional rooms or services on the day.
Yes. We use Green Seal GS-37 Reliable solutions that contain zero phosphates, zero optical brighteners, and zero volatile organic compounds, so there's no respiratory irritation, skin contact risk, or toxic residue. The rinse water is pH-neutral and fragrance-free; agents never flag chemical smell at inspection and tenants with asthma or eczema report no reactions. Children and pets can return to the property within 4 hours once the carpet is dry to the touch, and we recommend opening windows during dry time to speed moisture evaporation and improve airflow.
Yes. If your property manager rejects the carpet clean at final inspection and provides written feedback within seven days, we return and re-clean the flagged areas at no charge. This happens in under 2% of jobs and usually involves a persistent stain that needs a second enzyme or oxidiser treatment. We also offer a 14-day odour guarantee: if pet urine smell returns due to underlay contamination wicking back through the pile, we'll inject sub-surface neutraliser to eliminate the source. The guarantee requires that you provide our itemised receipt to the agent at handover and notify us within the timeframe.
Legally yes, but 80% of DIY cleans are rejected by Melbourne property managers because rental machines leave carpets overwet, spread stains, and provide no third-party receipt proving industry-standard work was completed. Real estate agents know DIY extraction fails to remove embedded soil and odour, so they flag the carpet as unclean even if it looks acceptable on handover day. The landlord then books a contractor and deducts $300-$800 from your bond as though no work was done. If the Property Condition Report specifically states "professional carpet clean required," DIY won't satisfy the lease terms and you forfeit the deduction regardless of effort.
Book 7-10 days before your lease end date to secure a time slot, but schedule the actual clean for 1-2 days before final inspection so the carpet is dry, groomed, and photographed fresh. Cleaning too early means foot traffic during final packing and walk-throughs re-soils high-traffic lanes, and agents will flag marks that appeared after the clean. If you're doing minor repairs or painting, book End of Lease Carpet Cleaning last so dust and paint drips don't land on freshly cleaned pile. We hold same-week capacity for urgent bookings if your agent gives short notice.
