Posted by Melbournes End of Lease Cleaners on 24 Dec 2025

Moving out of a home can be a difficult and lengthy process. From packing up all of your possessions, and organizing the process of moving, to making sure your former home is left in a clean and tidy condition, there’s a lot to consider. One of the key considerations when moving out is how long the cleanup process will take.

The end of lease cleaning, also known in the industry as move-out cleaning, is a crucial part of the moving process. It’s important to ensure that your property will be returned to the exact condition as when you first moved in, so that you can get back your bond back. Engaging an expert end of lease cleaning service can help you save time and make sure the job is done correctly. However, how long do you anticipate the cleaning process to take?

Factors that influence the length of the move cleaning

The length of the move to clean will be based on several factors which include:

  • The dimension of the property
  • The condition of the property
  • The amount of people who live within the house

A smaller one-bedroom house will likely require less time to clean as a big four-bedroom house. In the same way, if the home is in good working order and well-maintained, cleaning will be faster and more efficient. However when the property is in poor condition and has not been cleaned in a while it could take longer.

A typical cleaning schedule for moving out

A professional end of lease cleaning service is expected to take between 4 and 8 hours, based on the size and condition of the property. The service includes cleaning kitchens bathroom, bedrooms, living areas, and outdoor spaces. Cleaning can also involve deep cleaning tasks such as oven cleaning, window washing and carpet washing.
