Moving out is stressful enough without worrying about your bond. Carpets are the number one reason Melbourne tenants lose part or all of their bond at the end of a lease — and real estate agents and property managers across Melbourne inspect them closely at every final inspection.
At South Clean, we specialise in professional end of lease carpet cleaning that meets the exact standards required by Melbourne real estate agents and property managers. Our hot water extraction steam cleaning delivers a deep, thorough result that gives you the best possible chance of getting your full bond back — without the stress.
We service all Melbourne suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula, 7 days a week including weekends and public holidays. Same-day bookings available.

End of lease carpet cleaning is a professional steam clean of all carpeted areas in a rental property carried out when a tenant vacates. Most tenancy agreements and real estate agents in Victoria require carpets to be professionally cleaned before the property is handed back — and many require a receipt or invoice as proof.
Failing to have carpets professionally cleaned is one of the most common reasons Melbourne tenants have bond money withheld at the end of a tenancy. South Clean’s professional end of lease carpet cleaning gives you documented proof of a quality clean that satisfies real estate agents and property managers across Melbourne.
Step 1 — Pre-Inspection We inspect every carpeted room, noting the carpet type, condition, staining, high-traffic areas and any problem spots before selecting the right approach.
Step 2 — Pre-Vacuuming A thorough dry vacuum removes loose surface dirt, dust, pet hair and debris before wet cleaning begins — ensuring a more effective deep clean.
Step 3 — Pre-Treatment An eco-friendly pre-treatment solution is applied to break down stains, body oils and ground-in dirt — loosening them from the carpet fibres before extraction.
Step 4 — Spot & Stain Treatment All visible stains — wine, coffee, pet marks, grease, mud and more — are treated individually with targeted solutions for the best possible result.
Step 5 — Hot Water Extraction Steam Cleaning Using professional-grade steam cleaning equipment, we deep clean every carpeted room using hot water extraction — flushing and removing deep-set dirt, allergens, bacteria and residue from within the carpet fibres.
Step 6 — Deodorising & Sanitising (if selected) A professional anti-bacterial treatment and deodoriser is applied to every room, neutralising all odours and leaving carpets smelling genuinely fresh.
Step 7 — Final Inspection & Invoice We carry out a final walkthrough of every room and provide you with a professional invoice as proof of cleaning — which you can present to your real estate agent or property manager.

Do I need to get carpets professionally cleaned at the end of my lease? In most cases yes. The vast majority of Melbourne rental agreements require tenants to have carpets professionally steam cleaned before vacating. Check your lease agreement or contact your property manager to confirm the requirement.
Will you provide a receipt or invoice I can give my real estate agent? Yes. South Clean provides a professional invoice after every end of lease clean which you can present to your real estate agent or property manager as proof of professional cleaning.
Can you do same-day end of lease cleaning? Yes. We offer same-day bookings 7 days a week across all Melbourne suburbs. Call 0422 760 084 and we’ll do our best to get to you as soon as possible.
Do I need to be present during the clean? Not necessarily. Many tenants hand over keys and we complete the clean while they finalise their move. Just let us know your situation when booking.
What if the real estate agent is not satisfied with the result? We aim to deliver a result that fully satisfies your property manager. If there is a specific concern raised after inspection, contact us and we will discuss the situation with you.
How long does it take? A standard 2–3 bedroom home typically takes 2–3 hours. Larger properties or heavily soiled carpets may take longer. We will give you an estimated time when you book.
Are your products safe for all carpet types? Yes. We use eco-friendly, pH-balanced cleaning solutions that are safe for wool, synthetic, Berber and all other common carpet types.
Are your technicians insured and certified? Yes. All South Clean technicians are fully insured and certified.
