House cleaning on Greensborough's hills
Hills and steps
The land around Greensborough is hilly, and that matters when someone's carrying a vacuum and a bucket. Mention a steep driveway, steps to the front door or a split level in the note.
Homes of different ages
Growth took off in the 1960s and there's 1980s housing across the Plenty River to the east. Ask for a quote that suits the age of your place, not a standard list.
Two councils
Greensborough is split between the City of Banyule and the Shire of Nillumbik, and their hard rubbish rules differ. Banyule gives properties 2 allocations a calendar year, while Nillumbik gives households one a financial year.
What's rented here
In the 2021 Census, 18% of occupied homes in the Greensborough census area were rented. Of those rentals, 60% were separate houses and 33% were townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes.
Greensborough end of lease cleaning, step by step
Sort out the rubbish
In Banyule, a single collection is 1 cubic metre and a double is 2. Put it out the day before, and never more than 4 days before.
Find your entry condition report
That's the record of the home's condition when you moved in, and it's what the place gets measured against.
Book the clean for an empty house
Tell the business about the slope and the stairs, and ask for what's included in writing.
Take dated photos
Go room by room once the cleaner's gone, then hand back the keys.
Is bond cleaning in Greensborough the same as end of lease?
Yes. People in Greensborough search for both and the job's the same. Victoria's word for it is end of lease clean.
Victorian law asks you to leave the place reasonably clean, allowing for fair wear and tear. It doesn't say who does the cleaning, and a professional clean can only be required in two cases. The Victorian bond rules set those out.
Our tip before Greensborough cleaners arrive: walk the driveway
Walk up your own driveway as if you're carrying the gear. If it's steep, or there are steps or a tight side path, put that in the note. Then go through your entry condition report and mark what was already worn, so nobody spends time on it.
