Lease ending? Book before everyone else does.
Caulfield’s share houses and student leases all turn over in the same few weeks. We clean to agent standard and hand you the receipt.
South Clean cleans carpets, upholstery, rugs, mattresses and curtains across Caulfield — student apartments and share houses near the campus, and the established period homes on the leafy streets around them.

The Caulfield problem: everyone moves at once
Because so much of Caulfield’s housing runs on the academic year, leases don’t end evenly across the calendar — they cluster. Late November through February, and again around mid-year, the same few weeks see hundreds of handovers across Caulfield, Caulfield East and Carnegie, and every one of those tenants needs the carpet done before the final inspection.
If you leave the booking until the week of your handover in that window, you are competing with everyone else on your street for the same slots. Book as soon as you know the date and the whole thing stops being stressful. If your date moves, we’ll move with it.
Getting the bond back
The carpet is one of the two things property managers reliably check at the final inspection. We clean to the standard agents expect and give you a written receipt to attach to your paperwork — which is usually what the agent actually asks for. Book the carpet last, after the furniture is out and the rest of the place is done, or you’ll be walking boxes back across it.
Period homes here too
Away from the campus, Caulfield North and South are full of established homes with quality wool or wool-blend carpet. Those get a different treatment entirely: fibre tested first, pH-balanced wool-safe solution, controlled moisture and managed drying so there’s no shrinkage or browning.

Caulfield carpet cleaning — FAQs
When should I book if my lease ends in the busy season?
As soon as you know your handover date. Caulfield leases cluster around late November to February and again mid-year, so hundreds of handovers land in the same few weeks and the good slots go early. If your date moves afterwards, we move with it.
Will your clean satisfy my property manager?
We clean to the standard agents expect and provide a written receipt on request, which is usually what the agent actually asks for. No cleaner can guarantee a bond outcome, because that depends on the whole property, but the carpet side is documented and done properly.
We’re sharing the house – can we split the payment?
Yes. We can invoice one person and let the others transfer their share, or take payment in parts on the day. It is a normal request here and it does not complicate anything at our end.
When in the move-out should the carpet be cleaned?
Last – after the furniture is out and the rest of the property is cleaned. Cleaning the carpet first and then carrying boxes across it is the most common reason a bond clean gets knocked back.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Caulfield?
Carpet cleaning starts from $40 per room with a minimum call-out of $120. Apartments and single rooms are welcome. Everything is quoted upfront with no hidden charges.
Can you clean wool carpet in the period homes?
Yes. Away from the campus, Caulfield North and South have many homes with wool or wool-blend carpet. We test the fibre first and use pH-balanced, wool-safe solutions with controlled moisture and managed drying.
How long does the carpet take to dry?
Most carpets are dry within 2 to 4 hours, so a same-day handover is usually possible. We can set up extra airflow in apartments or enclosed period homes if the timing is tight.
