Considering hiring a house cleaner but unsure if the price is fair? What is the going rate? This guide shows current average house cleaner rates across Ireland, what factors affect pricing, and how to get value for money.
| Service Type | Average Rate | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly cleaning rate | €18–€25/hour | €18–€30 |
| 1-bed apartment clean | €150–€200 | €120–€250 |

Dublin rates are typically higher (€20–€28/hour). Regional areas lower (€16–€22/hour). Travel distance may affect pricing.
Regular maintenance cleaning is cheaper per hour. Deep cleaning commands premium rates. Specialized services (carpet, windows) cost more.
Experienced, insured professionals charge more. Independent cleaners may be cheaper but lack insurance protection. Professionals are worth the premium.
€16–€18/hour. Basic cleaning. Limited reliability.
€20–€28/hour. Insured. Reliable. Quality guaranteed.
Shopped around. Cheapest was €14/hour—sketchy. Professional rate €22/hour was worth the extra cost. Insurance, reliability, quality cleaning. Peace of mind matters.
