Moving day is stressful enough without spending your final weekend on your knees scrubbing the oven and arguing with landlords over deposit deductions.
This is the reality facing thousands of Dublin 14 tenants every year. You sign a lease. You live there. You move on. But then comes the inspection — and suddenly you're fighting to recover deposit money because the property isn't "as clean as the day you moved in."
The truth: landlords and letting agents in Dublin 14 expect spotless. They look for dust behind radiators. They open kitchen cupboards. They swab skirting boards. And if the property doesn't pass their standard, they keep your deposit.
For over 10 years, Granny's Cleaning has helped Dublin 14 tenants avoid that fight. We clean to the exact standard landlords and agents inspect for. Deep. Thorough. Documented. We have helped over 1,000 tenants recover their full deposits — and we know exactly what Dublin 14 letting agents look for.
If you're moving out, read this guide. We'll show you how professional end of tenancy cleaning works, why it saves you money, and what Dublin 14 landlords actually check.
You could clean the apartment yourself. You've lived there. You know every corner. But here's what landlords in Dublin 14 tell us:
They don't inspect like you clean. Landlords use a professional checklist. They look behind furniture. They inspect the oven interior. They check window tracks, light switches, skirting boards, and cupboard insides. They photograph everything. And if even one room doesn't meet their standard, they keep part or all of your deposit.
In Dublin 14, the average deposit is €1,500 to €2,500. Even partial deductions hurt. You lose €300, €500, or more — money you've already earned and allocated toward your next home.
Professional end of tenancy cleaning in Dublin 14 costs €350 to €550 depending on property size. That guarantees your deposit back. It also guarantees your time — you're not spending the final weekend of your tenancy exhausted and stressed.
Every property inspection follows a standard. Landlords look for:
Miss one of these, and landlords photograph it as a reason to deduct. Professional end of tenancy cleaning in Dublin 14 doesn't miss. We follow the same checklist landlords use.

This is the primary reason tenants in Dublin 14 book professional end of tenancy cleaning. A single spot or stain gives landlords reason to deduct.

Professional end of tenancy cleaning takes that task off your plate. You focus on the move. We handle the clean. You're done by the time you pick up your keys from the lettings agent.
When you leave a property spotless, there is no dispute. No discussion about whether a mark is normal wear or damage. No argument about what "as clean as the day you moved in" means. A professional clean removes all ambiguity. Landlord inspects. Finds nothing to deduct. Releases your deposit. Everyone moves on.
I was dreading leaving the apartment — I knew my landlord was picky. Granny's Cleaning team came, and within six hours the place was spotless. I got my full deposit back, no questions asked. My landlord actually left a nice note saying it was the cleanest property they'd seen in months.
Sarah, Ballinteer, Dublin 14
Moving to London and no time to clean. End of tenancy was the last thing on my mind. Called Granny's, got a quote, done. They even cleaned the inside of the fridge — areas I didn't even think about. Saved me probably €400 in deposit deductions.
Mike, Stillorgan, Dublin 14
Professional cleaners made all the difference. They knew exactly what the letting agents inspect. Showed up with the right equipment, finished on time, and left documentation. That detail made me feel confident at the handover. Deposit back in five days.
