House cleaning in Melbourne: what's different
Victoria's renting rules
A Melbourne rental goes back reasonably clean, allowing for fair wear and tear, and a professional clean can only be required in two set cases. Bonds sit with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority until the end.
Two cleans left out
Victoria's labour hire rules reach cleaners supplied to accommodation and building sites, so holiday rental and after-builders cleans are not on offer in Melbourne for now.
Renters and units
In the 2021 Census, 30% of occupied homes in Greater Melbourne were rented, and flats and apartments made up 16%. So a lot of Melbourne cleans are smaller places with shared entries, where access decides the day as much as the size of the job.
Apartments
In an apartment block, tell the business about parking, the lift and any loading bay rules in the note. Some buildings ask contractors to book the lift ahead.
Older houses
Older Melbourne houses can mean high ceilings, picture rails and fireplaces that gather dust. Mention them in the note, so the business can plan the time.
Which Melbourne cleaning service do you need?
A regular clean keeps the place under control every week or fortnight. A deep clean is the one-off that gets inside cupboards, behind appliances and into the grout. An end of lease clean is aimed at the final inspection, and a move-in clean gets a place ready before your furniture arrives.
Moving out of a rental? The end of lease clean in Melbourne has its own page, with Victoria's condition report and bond rules. For a place you are selling, a move-in or pre-sale clean before the photos is the usual choice.
What to tell Melbourne house cleaners up front
- The clean you need, and the bedrooms and bathrooms.
- The add-ons that matter: oven, inside windows, carpets or wall marks.
- Pets, stairs and anything fragile on the shelves.
- Where to park, and how a cleaner gets into the building.
Our advice before you book house cleaners in Melbourne
If you are moving out, book the end of lease clean once the place is empty and give the business your entry condition report. If you want a regular cleaner, start with one deep clean, so every visit after it is upkeep rather than catch-up.

Questions
Questions about house cleaning in Melbourne
Do you cover all of Melbourne?
The form works there. Put your own postcode in the form with the clean, and cleaning businesses near you see it.
Can I book a holiday rental or after-builders clean in Melbourne?
Not through Cleaner Scout for now. In Victoria we take regular, end of lease, deep and move-in cleans only, because of the state's labour hire rules.
When the cleaning business calls
- Have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms handy, and anything extra you want done.
- Moving out? Have your entry condition report and the date the keys go back.
- Think about access: keys, parking, stairs, and pets that will be home.
Cleaner Scout passes your clean to a local cleaning business. The business quotes, does the work and invoices you directly. We don't clean, and we don't employ cleaners.
