About Careway Vacate Cleaning
Why Choose Careway Cleaning For Your Vacate Clean?
My name is Mehdi, owner of Careway Cleaning & Maintenance. For many years I was the manager of another very busy vacate cleaning business. I have more than 10 years' experience in the cleaning industry, and I want your vacate clean to go smoothly.
We try to make things as easy on you as possible as we know moving is an awful & expensive task for most people.
By the time you have paid all the unexpected costs associated with moving out, and you are exhausted from the heavy lifting and sorting, the last thing you will want to do is clean the place you are leaving. At that point, you will appreciate being able to pay our invoices with your credit card!
Comparing Quotes From Other Cleaners?
Please note - all pricing on this website is for fairly clean, Unfurnished Properties.
We encourage you to check out other companies’ quotations thoroughly and look at the list of what they are and are not going to clean. For example, check whether they are going to clean –
- window exteriors and flyscreens, tracks, ledges
- light fittings, switches & power points
- clean/de-cobweb the garage and exterior of property
- change light bulbs/batteries
Your agent will require these things to be done and will end up sending someone else to do them – at your expense. You will be charged for a 2nd person to come back and do this – often with $60 - $80 call out fee, plus any cost for bulbs etc.

How Long Will Your Cleaning Take?
This is different at every property – however, we've done our best to be transparent for you with estimates below on this page. Many things are fiddly and time consuming to clean, like:
- blinds - the thinner and more flimsy the blind, the longer it takes to clean. Greasy or very dirty blinds have to be removed for cleaning.
- pet hair - hours can be spent trying to remove this. As people walk through the areas, the pet hair floats around the space.
- cleaning walls can add many hours.
- light fittings that are difficult to remove for cleaning
- cleaning ducted air conditioner vents
- furnished/equipped properties. Cleaning furniture, washing dishes etc will add hours to your clean.
If you require any of the above at your property, you can expect your clean to take longer. Our aim is to clean everything that your agent requires so you have no problems. We give our best estimate and we include everything that needs doing, however as not everyone needs carpet cleaning, or pest control, blinds or walls cleaned, we can't give a firm quote.

Helping yourself – making your vacate clean faster and less expensive.
By the time cleaners are at the property you are leaving – you will be EXHAUSTED!!! You will just want the whole nightmare to be over. Trust us; we see this again and again. Do what you can in advance.
- Get rid of rubbish at the time of cleaning, often the bins are already full and there is nowhere to put the remaining rubbish. This can create an extra cost to you as the rubbish needs to be disposed of. It can’t just be left at the property. Throw things away from the day you know you are moving. Fill your bins up weekly.
- Replace light bulbs/tubes/batteries before you leave. If light bulbs are needed, we will have to go and buy them. If your light bulbs are unusual, it can mean we have to find a specialist light shop to find the right bulb. You will be charged for the travel time, a fuel charge plus the cost of the bulbs. Even if you don’t want to put the bulbs in, buy them and leave them on the bench, then all we have to do is fit them. Leave the receipt for the bulbs at the house, as sometimes bulbs don’t work and we may be able to exchange them. Take the old bulb with you to be sure you get the right one. If your oven or other appliance requires a new bulb, leave it there for us.
- Degrease your garage floor. Do this early and then keep some cardboard under any leaky cars to catch any further oil leaks. Check and replace remote batteries if needed.
- Start trimming/pulling out weeds. Start spending 30 mins to an hour a day in the garden if it is needed.
