Cleaning: every service

After-builders cleaningRemoving the fine plaster, sanding and sawdust that settles on every surface after building work, and cleaning paint, plaster and stickers off new glass, tiles and floors.
Carpet and upholstery cleaningDeep cleaning carpets, rugs, stairs, sofas and mattresses with hot-water extraction or a low-moisture method, to lift the soil, stains and odours that vacuuming leaves behind.
End of tenancy cleaningA thorough top-to-bottom clean of a rented home when a tenancy ends, done to the standard a landlord or letting agent checks against the inventory and the photos from the start.
Gutter cleaningClearing leaves, moss and silt from gutters and the tops of downpipes, flushing the downpipes and checking that water runs away freely.
House and apartment cleaningRegular or one-off cleaning of a house or apartment — kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, floors and beds — to a checklist agreed with you.
Oven cleaningA specialist deep clean of an oven, hob and extractor, taking out racks, trays and removable panels and stripping the burnt-on carbon with non-caustic products.
Power washingWashing driveways, patios, paths, decking, walls and render to lift moss, algae, grime and stains, by pressure washing or low-pressure soft washing with a biocide.
Window cleaningCleaning the glass, frames and sills of a home, usually outside with purified water and a reach-and-wash pole from the ground, and inside by hand if you ask.

Hiring a cleaner in Ireland

Cleaning jobs fall into regular visits — weekly or fortnightly — and one-off deep cleans: end of tenancy, after builders, carpets, ovens and outside surfaces. A one-off clean is priced by the job; regular cleaning usually by the hour.

Agree a checklist before the first visit. It is the easiest way to compare offers and the fairest way to judge the result.

The rules in Ireland

A cleaner who takes rubbish or builders’ waste away for you must hold a waste collection permit.

Anybody who takes your waste away must hold a waste collection permit. Handing waste to an unpermitted collector is an offence for the householder, with a fine of up to €5,000 — ask for the permit number, which collectors must show on vehicles and receipts.
