End of tenancy cleaning cost in Ireland
Legacy guide: external source review is pending. How we review guides
End-of-tenancy cleaning is different from a regular clean. The property usually needs to be ready for inspection, listing photos, new tenants or sale viewings, which means attention to appliances, bathrooms, skirting, cupboards and built-up grime.
In Ireland, small move-out cleans can start around €150 to €250, while larger houses or cleans with oven, carpet and window add-ons can cost €300 to €600 or more. The more accurate your job description, the better the quotes will be.

What should be included
- Kitchen cupboards, worktops, sink, tiles and appliance exteriors.
- Bathrooms, shower screens, limescale, toilets and mirrors.
- Bedrooms, living areas, floors, skirting and internal doors.
- Inside cupboards and wardrobes where agreed.
- Oven, carpets and windows if included in the quote.
Why quotes vary
Condition matters more than size alone. A well-kept three-bed home may cost less than a one-bed apartment with heavy grease, limescale and carpets needing stain treatment. Photos help cleaners judge the real workload before they quote.
Deposit and handover tips
Use your lease checklist or agent requirements when posting the job. Ask whether the cleaner provides an itemised checklist or receipt, especially if you need proof for a landlord, property manager or new tenant handover.
