House Cleaning Dublin: Prices, What's Included & How to Find a Vetted Cleaner (2026)
Dublin has one of the highest rates of professional house cleaning uptake in Ireland — and for good reason. With longer working hours and shorter commutes becoming the norm, more and more households are turning to vetted, insured professional cleaners to keep their homes fresh without sacrificing their evenings. This guide covers everything you need to know about booking house cleaning in Dublin in 2026.
How much does house cleaning cost in Dublin in 2026?
House cleaning prices in Dublin are charged per hour. On YourServices.ie, rates start from €15 per hour. Here's how that breaks down by property size:
| Property Size | Recommended Hours | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bed apartment | 2.5 hours | From €37.50 |
| 2-bed apartment / 2-bed house | 3 hours | From €45 |
| 3-bed semi-detached | 3.5–4 hours | From €52.50 |
| 4-bed detached home | 4–5 hours | From €60 |
| 5-bed detached / large home | 5–6 hours | From €75 |
These are minimum estimates for a standard recurring clean. First cleans on homes that haven't been professionally cleaned recently often need an extra 30–60 minutes. Add-ons like oven cleaning (€25–€35), fridge cleaning (€15), or inside windows add to the total.
Recurring weekly or bi-weekly bookings often come at a lower hourly rate — many Dublin cleaners offer loyal regular customers a discount of €1–€2/hr after the first few visits.
