Cleaning Services

Cleaning Services in Coburg for Homes and Businesses

We handle both sides of Coburg. On the residential side that means regular household cleaning, one off deep cleans, end of lease cleaning, and cleaning before a sale or a new tenancy. On the commercial side it means offices, shops, strata common areas, medical and allied health rooms, and childcare or school sites.

Most cleaning services Coburg households find online pick one side or the other. That combination matters more here than it might elsewhere. Plenty of people in Coburg own a home and run a business within a few streets of it. Those customers end up managing two suppliers, two invoices and two sets of keys.

Every service below links to a page with the full detail. This page is the starting point. If you already know what you need, call 0402 160 946 and we will book a walk through.

We cover Coburg 3058 and Coburg North, which shares the same postcode.

Get in Touch

Regular cleaning

What Is Included in a Regular Household Clean?

A regular clean covers the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas on a fixed list, so you know what was done before we arrive and after we leave.

In the kitchen we clean benchtops, the sink and tapware, the stovetop, the splashback, the outside of appliances, and the inside and outside of the microwave. Cupboard fronts get wiped. Floors are vacuumed and mopped.

In bathrooms we clean the shower, bath, vanity, sink, mirror and toilet, polish the tapware, wipe the cupboard fronts, and empty the bins. Wall tiles and grout are scrubbed where the build up needs it.

In bedrooms and living areas we dust reachable surfaces, skirting boards, window sills and door frames, clean the light switches and power points you can reach, make the beds, remove cobwebs, and vacuum and mop through.

Weekly, fortnightly and monthly are all available. Fortnightly suits most Coburg households. Weekly works better for larger families and homes with pets. Monthly suits units and smaller places.

How many cleaners come, and how long it takes

  • Two people for a standard house clean. We tell you the crew size and the expected time when we quote, not when we arrive.
    This matters because the most common complaint about cleaning services in this part of Melbourne is one person being sent to a job that needed a team. A two bedroom unit usually takes two people two hours. A four bedroom home usually takes two people four hours or more. If your property needs longer, we say so at the quote stage and the price reflects it.

Keeping the same cleaner

  • You get the same people each visit wherever the roster allows. A cleaner who already knows your home works faster and misses less.
    If your regular cleaner is unavailable, we tell you before the day. We do not send someone unannounced and hope you do not notice.

Working around access and mobility needs

  • Tell us what you need and we will work to it. That includes keeping walkways clear, working around equipment, using low fragrance products, and starting in the rooms that matter most to you.
    Several of our clients cannot do the physical work themselves, either permanently or while they recover from something. We treat that as ordinary, not as a special arrangement.

Pricing

How Much Does Cleaning Cost in Coburg?

Two bedroom properties are the place to start, because they make up 30.5 per cent of Coburg dwellings against 19.1 per cent across Victoria. This is a two bedroom suburb far more than the state average, and pricing built around four bedroom houses will not reflect what most people here own or rent.

Across Melbourne, a two bedroom home typically costs between $125 and $250 for a standard clean. A four bedroom home usually falls between $170 and $335. Hourly rates for a vetted, insured, police checked cleaner sit between about $52 and $70, with the Melbourne average near $58. End of lease cleaning across the metro area generally runs from $260 to $525 depending on size and condition.

Marketplace listings advertise from about $32 an hour. At that rate the insurance, the police check and the risk of a no show usually sit with you rather than with the business.

These are Melbourne market figures, not a price list. We quote your property after a walk through.

What changes the final price

  • Bedrooms and bathrooms come first. Each extra bathroom adds real time.
  • Second is condition. A home cleaned regularly takes less time than one that has not been cleaned professionally in a year.
  • Third is extras such as oven interiors, inside the fridge, inside cupboards, interior windows and carpet steam cleaning.
  • Fourth is access, including stairs, lifts and parking.
    We do not quote low and add time on the day. If we get the estimate wrong, that is our problem, not a surcharge.

End of lease cleaning

End of Lease Cleaning in Coburg

Coburg is a renting suburb. Around 33.2 per cent of occupied private dwellings here are rented, compared with 28.5 per cent across Victoria, and the median weekly rent is $430 against a state figure of $370. People move often here, and most of them are told things about exit cleaning that are not accurate.

Our end of lease cleaning Coburg renters book follows the agent checklist and covers the oven, rangehood, cupboards inside and out, wardrobes, skirting boards, window tracks and sills, marks on walls, bathrooms, and floors throughout. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to the same visit.

Below is what Victorian law actually requires, because knowing it changes what you should pay for and what you should agree to.

What does reasonably clean mean?

  • Section 63 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (Vic) requires a renter to leave the property reasonably clean. That is the legal standard. It is not the same as professionally cleaned, and it is not the same as perfect.
    Consumer Affairs Victoria sets out how this is assessed in Guideline 2. The comparison is against the condition report from the start of your tenancy, with fair wear and tear taken into account. If a mark was there when you moved in and the condition report records it, it is not your obligation now.
    This is why the condition report and your entry photos matter more than any checklist a cleaning company gives you.

Can your rental provider require a professional clean?

  • Usually not. Regulation 12 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 sets two conditions, and one of them has to apply.
    Either the property was professionally cleaned immediately before your tenancy started and you were told so at the time, or professional cleaning is needed to return the property to the condition it was in at the start, judged against the condition report and allowing for fair wear and tear.
    If neither applies, a clause in the agreement saying you must arrange professional cleaning generally cannot be enforced on its own. This applies to rental agreements entered into from 29 March 2021. The same reasoning applies to a clause demanding professional carpet steam cleaning.
    Plenty of people in Coburg still pay for a clean they were never required to buy. Many others book one anyway, because a move is stressful and paying someone removes the risk. Both are reasonable. The point is that it should be your decision, made with the facts.

Book the clean before you hand back the keys

  • Book the exit clean while you still have access to the property. This is the single most useful piece of timing advice for a Coburg exit, and almost nobody gives it.
    Here is why. Every cleaning business in Melbourne promises to come back if the agent flags something. That promise only works while someone can still get inside. Once the keys are returned and the property is relet or the locks are changed, nobody can fix anything, and the promise is worth nothing at the exact moment you need it.
    We ask for the clean to be booked with enough time before handover that a return visit is still physically possible. That is a scheduling decision, and it costs you nothing to make it correctly.

What happens if part of your bond is claimed?

  • Cleaning disputes in Victoria no longer start at a tribunal hearing. Since June 2025 they go to Rental Dispute Resolution Victoria, known as RDRV, which is a free service run by VCAT.
    RDRV handles disagreements about bond, compensation, rent increases and repairs. A resolution coordinator is assigned, contacts both sides, and tries to reach an outcome without a hearing. An application to RDRV counts as an application to VCAT, so if the matter does not resolve it moves forward without you applying twice. If you go straight to VCAT with a bond or compensation dispute, you will most likely be directed to RDRV first.
    Worth keeping in perspective. According to the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority annual report for 2023 and 2024, about 95% of Victorian bonds are repaid by agreement between the parties with no hearing at all. A clean is there to keep you in that 95%, not to win an argument.

A written record of what was cleaned

  • We provide a written record of the work completed, suitable to give your agent or rental provider.
    This is about to matter more than it used to. From no later than 13 October 2026, under the Consumer Legislation Amendment Act 2025, a rental provider must give the renter documentary evidence supporting a bond claim at least three days before lodging it with the RTBA, and that evidence must not contradict the condition report. Documentation on both sides is becoming the thing disputes turn on.
    Two other changes are worth knowing if you are moving in 2026. The Portable Rental Bond Scheme started on 1 July 2026, which lets renters carry a bond to the next property. And RDRV now sits between you and any hearing.

Cleaning Before You Move In, Sell, or Lease Out a Coburg Property

Not every deep clean is about a bond. Three other situations come up constantly in Coburg and almost no local cleaning page addresses them.

The first is selling. Coburg property moves quickly, and the first open inspection sets the tone. A pre sale clean covers everything a photographer and a buyer will look at, including window glass, light fittings, oven interiors and floors. We book these around inspection dates rather than around our own schedule.

The second is moving in. If you have just taken a lease or settled on a purchase and the property was not left properly clean, we treat it as a full deep clean rather than a touch up. This includes the inside of cupboards and drawers, which is where builders dust and old debris usually sit after a renovation.

The third is preparing a property to lease out. Landlords and property managers use this to set the entry standard, which then becomes the benchmark on the condition report for the next tenancy.

Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning in Coburg

Carpet steam cleaning, rug cleaning in the home, and upholstery cleaning across Coburg 3058, booked on their own or added to a house clean so it is one visit instead of two.

Full detail on stain limits, pet odour treatment, drying times and which rug types we handle in the home sits on our carpet cleaning Coburg page.

Carpet Cleaning

Commercial cleaning

Office and Commercial Cleaning in Coburg

Coburg trades over a long stretch of Sydney Road, and the work varies by the metre. A cafe needs grease lifted off floors so they are not slippery. A shopfront lives or dies on clean glass in the morning. A studio in a converted warehouse has polished concrete that needs pH neutral products so the sealant survives. A workshop up towards Gaffney Street and Coburg North needs oil and tyre marks off the floor.

We clean before opening or after closing, so trading hours are not interrupted, and we cover 7 days including Sunday. Cleaners are directly employed by us, police checked and insured. Keys and alarm codes are not passed around a subcontractor network.

As a cleaning company Coburg businesses can book for one site or several, we handle offices, retail, hospitality venues, light industrial spaces and after builders cleaning.

Window cleaning

Window Cleaning in Coburg

Interior and exterior window cleaning for houses, units and shopfronts. Frames, tracks and sills are done as part of the job, because dirty tracks show through a clean pane within a week.

Period homes around Coburg often have timber sash windows and leadlight in the front rooms. These are cleaned by hand rather than with a pole system, which protects the putty and the lead came.

For shopfronts along Sydney Road we can schedule early morning cleans so the glass is clear before your first customers arrive.

Oven and pressure cleaning

Oven and Pressure Cleaning in Coburg

Oven cleaning covers the racks, trays, door glass and interior. It is included in end of lease cleans and deep cleans, and can be added to a regular clean.

Pressure cleaning covers driveways, paths, patios, brick and rendered walls, and shared areas in unit blocks. Moss and mould build up quickly on the shaded south facing paths common in the older streets here, and that becomes a slip risk before it becomes a look.

Strata cleaning

Strata and Owners Corporation Cleaning in Coburg

Coburg has a lot of shared property. Semi detached homes, terraces and townhouses make up 24.3 per cent of dwellings here against 13.9 per cent across Victoria, so a large share of local buildings have common areas without having a lift or a concierge.

We clean entries, stairwells, corridors, shared laundries, bin rooms and car park areas for townhouse complexes, walk ups and small apartment blocks. Bin rooms need attention weekly through summer, because odour builds within a couple of days once the floor and drains are skipped.

Owners corporations get a fixed price in writing after a site walk.

Medical cleaning

Medical and Allied Health Cleaning in Coburg

Coburg has general practices, dental rooms, physiotherapy and allied health clinics spread along Sydney Road and Bell Street. Cleaning these rooms is about infection control rather than appearance.

We use hospital grade disinfectants, follow documented procedures for high touch surfaces, treatment rooms, reception and amenities, and keep records that support accreditation. Staff are police checked.

Medical Cleaning

Education cleaning

Education and Childcare Cleaning in Coburg

We clean childcare centres, kindergartens and schools around Coburg, including classrooms, halls, libraries and amenities.

Anyone attending an education or childcare site holds a current Working with Children Check as well as a police check. Cleaning is scheduled outside session times, and during term breaks we can run a heavier clean covering floors, carpets and high areas.

Parking and Access on Coburg Streets

Parking is a real constraint in Coburg, and we plan for it rather than asking you to solve it.

About 12.9 per cent of Coburg dwellings have no motor vehicle, compared with 7.5 per cent across Victoria, and another 46.0 per cent have just one. That has two effects. On street parking is heavily used, and many of the terrace and townhouse streets have permit zones or time limits enforced by Merri-bek City Council.

Our cleaners sort their own parking. You do not need to arrange a bay, hand over a permit or move your car. For apartment buildings near Coburg station and Pentridge, we contact building management before the first visit about visitor parking, lift access and after hours entry, so the clean starts on time rather than stalling at the front door.

Suburbs and Postcodes We Cover

Coburg 3058 and Coburg North, which shares the 3058 postcode. Both sit within the City of Merri-bek, whose civic centre is at 90 Bell Street, Coburg. The council changed its name from Moreland in 2022, and a number of cleaning listings still have the old name attached.

Nearby suburbs we also service include Brunswick, Brunswick East, Pascoe Vale, Preston, Fawkner, Glenroy, Northcote and Thornbury.

Availability

Availability, 7 Days a Week

Early morning and after hours slots are available for commercial sites. For homes, we book an arrival window and contact you if anything changes, before the day rather than after it.

We work 7 days a week, including Sunday.

This is worth checking before you book anyone. Several cleaning businesses advertising in Coburg do not operate on Sunday at all, and some close Saturday afternoon as well, which is a problem when a lease ends on a weekend or a shop can only be cleaned when it is shut.

Who we are

Who Will Be in Your Home?

OneDrop FM is run by Metecan Kalkan, who has worked in cleaning for over 15 years and still quotes jobs personally. The business operates from 2 Pratt Close, Taylors Lakes VIC 3038, and holds an ABN and public liability insurance. Every cleaner is directly employed by us, police checked and trained by us. We do not use a subcontractor network. You can reach Metecan directly on 0402 160 946 or at Mattk@onedropfm.com.au.

Before a first clean or any exit clean, we do a walk through of the property with you where possible, so the scope is agreed in front of both of us rather than assumed. At the end of the job we walk it again. If something is not right, the time to say so is while we are still standing there, because it is much easier to fix a missed spot before the van leaves than to arrange a return visit a week later.

Common questions

Common Questions About Cleaning in Coburg

Usually no. Section 63 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 requires the property to be left reasonably clean, not professionally cleaned. A clause requiring professional cleaning can only be enforced in the limited circumstances set out in Regulation 12 of the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021.

Only if the carpets were professionally cleaned immediately before your tenancy and you were told, or if professional cleaning is needed to restore them to their condition at the start. Otherwise a lease clause requiring it generally cannot be enforced on its own, for agreements from 29 March 2021.

The dispute goes to Rental Dispute Resolution Victoria, a free service run by VCAT that handles bond and compensation matters. A resolution coordinator works with both sides to reach an outcome without a hearing. If it does not resolve, it moves to VCAT without a second application.

A two bedroom property in Melbourne typically costs between $125 and $250 for a standard clean, and a four bedroom home between $170 and $335. End of lease cleaning generally runs from $260 to $525. Coburg has a high share of two bedroom homes, so most local quotes sit at the lower end. We quote after a walk through.
