A house cleaner in Ireland costs an estimated EUR 18-28 per hour in 2026, and a regular clean of a typical home comes to around EUR 55-120. Deep cleans, end of tenancy cleans and after builders cleans cost more, roughly EUR 190-720, because they take longer and cover areas a regular clean skips. These are Connect Cleaner's estimates of the Irish market, not quotes: each independent professional sets their own price, and you agree it with them directly.
How much does a cleaner cost per hour in Ireland?
Our estimate for a standard house clean is EUR 18-28 per hour. Specialist work sits higher: a deep clean is estimated at EUR 20-32 per hour and an after builders clean at EUR 22-32, because both involve more equipment, more time and harder work. Short-let turnovers and regular cleans sit at the lower end of the range.

How much does a clean cost by property size?
For one-off jobs, the size of the property matters more than the hourly rate, because it decides how many hours the job takes. The estimates below show how much the price of the same job can move between a small and a large property.
| Job | Smaller property | Larger property |
|---|---|---|
| Deep clean | 2-bed apartment: EUR 190-260 | 4-bed house: EUR 320-420 |
| End of tenancy clean | 1-2 bed apartment: EUR 190-260 | 3-4 bed house: EUR 260-380 |
| Airbnb turnover | Studio or 1-bed: EUR 65-90 | 3+ bed: EUR 105-150 |
| After builders clean | Single room or bathroom: EUR 190-320 | Typical renovation: EUR 370-720 |
What changes the price of a clean?
Two cleaners can quote different prices for what looks like the same job. These are the things that move a quote most:
- Size of the property: the number of bedrooms and bathrooms sets how long the clean takes.
- Condition: how long it has been since the last thorough clean, and the state of the kitchen and bathrooms.
- Frequency: a recurring weekly or fortnightly clean is a different job from a one-off. Ask each cleaner how they price regular visits.
- Products and equipment: whether the cleaner brings them or uses yours.
- Extras: inside the oven or fridge, carpets, interior windows and laundry are often priced separately.
- Access: parking, keys and the time of day the property is available.
How do you get an accurate price for your home?
An estimate helps you budget, but only a quote for your property is a real price. To get comparable quotes:
- Describe the job precisely: the rooms, the type of clean, and any extras such as the oven or carpets.
- Say whether it is one-off or recurring, and the dates and times that suit you.
- Say who supplies products and equipment.
- Ask each cleaner what their price includes, how long they expect the job to take, and how they want to be paid.
- Agree cancellation terms before the first clean.

Is a regular cleaner cheaper than a one-off clean?
Per visit, yes: a regular clean is estimated at EUR 55-120, while one-off deep and end of tenancy cleans start around EUR 190. A regular clean keeps a home at a standard, so each visit takes less time. A one-off clean has to catch up on everything at once. If a home has not been cleaned thoroughly for a while, a single deep clean followed by regular visits is a common pattern.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay Connect Cleaner for the clean?
No. Posting a request is free for customers. Independent professionals set their own price, and you agree it and pay them directly. Connect Cleaner does not process or hold payments between customers and professionals.
Why do quotes for the same job differ?
Each independent cleaner sets their own rate, and they price in different things: the size and condition of the property, how long it has been since the last thorough clean, whether they bring products and equipment, and travel and parking.
Is end of tenancy cleaning more expensive than a regular clean?
Usually, yes. Our estimate for a regular clean is EUR 55-120, while an end of tenancy clean is estimated at EUR 190-380, because it covers inside appliances, cupboards and fittings and takes longer, typically 4-7 hours.
How long does a deep clean take?
Our estimate is 4-8 hours for a full deep clean, depending on the size and condition of the property. A small apartment sits at the lower end; a large family home can take a full day.
Are these prices quotes?
No. They are Connect Cleaner’s estimates of the Irish market, published so you can budget. The only real price is the one an independent professional quotes you for your job.
