Cleaning Services Dublin — Frequently Asked Questions (2026)

These are the questions we hear most often from Dublin homeowners and renters before they book their first professional cleaning service. Honest answers, no sales pitch.

Prices and Costs

How much does a cleaner cost in Dublin?

Home cleaning in Dublin starts from €20 per hour on YourServices.ie. For a standard 3-bed semi-detached, a typical clean takes 3–4 hours — roughly €60–€80 per visit. First cleans or homes not professionally cleaned recently often need an extra hour. Add-ons like oven cleaning (€25–35) or fridge cleaning (€15) are priced separately.

Are cleaning prices in Dublin fixed or by the hour?

Most regular home cleaning on YourServices.ie is charged by the hour. Specialist services like end of tenancy cleaning, deep cleans, gutter cleaning, and carpet cleaning are usually fixed quotes based on the property.

Do I need to pay before the clean happens?

No. YourServices.ie uses secure card authorisation at booking, but your card is only charged after the cleaning is complete. You are never charged upfront.

Are there any hidden fees?

No call-out fees, no sign-up fees, no cancellation fees (for 24+ hours notice). The price you see when you book is the price you pay.

Vetting and Safety

How do I know I can trust a cleaner coming to my home?

Every cleaner on YourServices.ie has been identity-verified, Garda-vetted (police background checked), and reference-checked before they can take their first booking. You can read their verified reviews from real previous customers before you book.

Are the cleaners insured?

Yes. All cleaners operating on YourServices.ie are covered by public liability insurance. If something is accidentally damaged during a clean, you have recourse through the platform.

Can I see who is coming to my home before they arrive?

Yes. When you book, you see the cleaner's full profile — their photo, reviews, how long they've been working, and their specialities. You can message them directly before the clean.

What if I'm not happy with the clean?

Contact us within 24 hours of a clean and we'll arrange a re-clean at no additional cost. We call this our 48-hour re-clean guarantee.

Booking and Logistics

How far in advance do I need to book?

Most Dublin areas have availability within 48–72 hours. For popular time slots, booking 5–7 days ahead is recommended.

Can I have the same cleaner every time?

Yes. When you book a recurring clean, all future bookings are with the same person unless you request a change.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Cancel or reschedule for free up to 24 hours before the booking. Changes within 24 hours may incur a small fee to protect the cleaner's time.

Practical Questions

Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?

Your cleaner will usually bring their own professional-grade supplies. If you have preferred products, you can leave them out and the cleaner will use those instead.

Do I need to be home during the clean?

Not at all. Many regular customers give their cleaner a key or access code after the first few visits.

What happens if my regular cleaner is sick or unavailable?

You'll be notified immediately and offered a replacement cleaner with the same vetting level, or the option to reschedule.
