End of Tenancy Cleaning in Limerick

A full top-to-bottom clean of the empty property: inside the oven and appliances, inside cupboards, limescale removal, skirting boards, windows inside, and a deep clean of the bathroom and kitchen. Carpet steam cleaning is usually a paid extra.

An end of tenancy clean follows an agency-style checklist designed to pass a checkout inspection, covering inside appliances and cupboards in an empty property. A deep clean is done in a furnished, lived-in home and is scoped room by room rather than to an inventory standard.

If the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in, or your lease requires it, yes — keep the receipt. Otherwise vacuuming plus spot-cleaning to match the move-in condition is generally enough.

You need to return the property in the same state of cleanliness as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Cleaning disputes are the single most common reason deposits get docked, so a professional clean with an invoice is cheap insurance on larger deposits.

A one-bedroom flat typically takes a two-person team 3-5 hours. A three-bedroom house can take 6-10 hours or a larger crew. The property should be empty of furniture and belongings for the fastest result.

Only for actual cleaning needed beyond normal wear, and the deduction must be justifiable — the RTB routinely awards deposits back where landlords can't evidence the condition difference. A dated invoice and photos are your best protection.
