The boxes are packed. The van is booked. The keys need to go back in two days. And then you look around the empty flat and your stomach drops.
The oven has months of grease baked into every corner. The bathroom grout has turned grey. There are scuff marks on the skirting boards. The fridge smells like something you forgot about three months ago. The windows have not been cleaned since you moved in.
Your deposit is on the line. Your landlord will do an inspection. The letting agent has a checklist. And you are standing in the middle of the room thinking: "There is no way I can get this done in time."
You are right. You cannot. Not alone. Not to the standard they expect.
But we can.

We know exactly what landlords and letting agents look for. We use eco-friendly, certified products. We bring all our own equipment.

Your deposit is safe with us.
From the student apartments in Rathmines to the family homes in Lucan, from the city centre flats on Dorset Street to the new builds in Adamstown — our end of tenancy cleaning teams work across every corner of Dublin.
We know the Dublin rental market inside out. We have worked with landlords, letting agents, and property managers from IRES REIT to local independent owners. We understand the inspection standards. We know the checklist. And we clean to exceed it — every single time.
Same-day and next-day availability. We know end of tenancy cleans are often last minute. Your lease ends Friday. You call us Thursday. We are there. Our teams are already working across Dublin 1 through Dublin 24, Swords, Blanchardstown, Tallaght, Dun Laoghaire, and every suburb in between.
A team that protects your deposit. Every cleaner on our end of tenancy team is Garda vetted, fully insured, and trained specifically for move-out cleans. We do not send general cleaners. We send specialists who know that a missed oven rack or a dusty extractor fan can cost you hundreds.
Whether your rental is in Drumcondra, Sandymount, Phibsborough, or anywhere across Dublin — Granny's Cleaning is ready when you are.

Landlords and letting agents use detailed inspection checklists. We have seen hundreds of them. We know which items cause deposit deductions. And we clean every single one — plus the details most tenants never think to touch.
We degrease the oven inside and out — racks, door glass, seals. We scrub the hob, clean behind and underneath the cooker, degrease the extractor fan and filters, wipe down all cabinet fronts and interiors, sanitise the sink and taps, clean inside the fridge and freezer shelf by shelf, and leave every countertop spotless. The kitchen is where most deposit deductions happen. Not on our watch.
We descale taps, showerheads, and glass panels. We scrub grout lines until they are white again. We disinfect the toilet inside, outside, behind, and around the base. We clean the bath, the sink, the mirror, and every tile. We remove mould from sealant where possible. Your bathroom will pass any inspection.
We dust every surface — shelves, windowsills, light fixtures, picture hooks, curtain rails. We vacuum all carpets and mop all hard floors. We clean skirting boards, door frames, and light switches. We wipe inside wardrobes, drawers, and storage cupboards. We clean mirrors and glass surfaces. Every room is left move-in ready.
We clean all interior windows, window frames, and tracks. We remove dust and cobwebs from corners. We wipe window locks and handles. Clean windows let natural light flood in — and they are one of the first things a landlord notices during inspection.
We clean the front door inside and out. We wipe all internal doors, handles, and hinges. We vacuum and mop the hallway. We clean the fuse box cover, the letterbox, and any built-in storage. First impressions matter — even for the person doing the checkout.
We vacuum every carpet including edges and corners. We mop tile, vinyl, and hardwood with the correct products. We scrub stubborn marks from floors. We dust and wipe every skirting board in the property. We clean behind radiators. We remove cobwebs from ceilings. The details are where deposits are won or lost.
We clean light fittings, plug sockets, and switch plates. We wipe the washing machine drum, door seal, and detergent drawer. We clean the dishwasher interior. We polish all chrome fixtures. If it is in the property, we clean it.
The average Dublin rental deposit is one to two months of rent. For most tenants, that is between 1,500 and 4,000 euro. Losing part of it to a failed cleaning inspection is painful — especially when a professional end of tenancy clean costs a fraction of that amount.
Here is what changes when Granny's Cleaning handles your move-out clean:
An entire weekend on your hands and knees. Products you bought that do not work. Missed spots the landlord catches. Grout that still looks grey. An oven that still smells. A stressful inspection. A partial deposit return. Deductions you did not expect.
A spotless property in a few hours. Every item on the inspection checklist handled. An oven that looks brand new. Bathrooms that shine. Floors that gleam. A landlord who has nothing to deduct. Your full deposit back. Zero stress.
We clean to the standard landlords and letting agents expect — and beyond. We have seen their checklists. We know the items that trigger deductions: the oven, the extractor fan, the grout, the inside of kitchen cupboards, the window tracks. We hit every single one. Your deposit comes back to you. Not to a cleaning deduction.
Moving is exhausting enough without spending your last weekend scrubbing an oven at midnight. You have a new place to set up. Boxes to unpack. A life to get on with. Let us handle the cleaning so you can focus on the next chapter — not the grease behind the cooker.
The inspection should not be something you dread. When Granny's Cleaning finishes, you hand the keys back with confidence. No anxiety. No second-guessing. No "I hope they do not check behind the fridge." They will check. And it will be spotless.
"I lived in a two-bed apartment in Rathmines for three years and I was dreading the move-out clean. The oven alone would have taken me an entire day. Granny's Cleaning did the full property in four hours. My landlord said it was the cleanest handover he has ever had. Full deposit back. I could not believe it."
— Niamh, Rathmines
"I am a landlord with six rental units across Dublin. I started recommending Granny's Cleaning to my tenants because the turnover cleans were always inconsistent. Now I just book them directly between tenancies. The properties are spotless for viewings and ready for the next tenant within 24 hours. They have saved me thousands in void periods."
— Patrick, Property Owner, Dublin 8
"My lease ended on a Friday and I had to fly back to France on Saturday. I booked Granny's Cleaning for Thursday afternoon. By 7pm the flat was immaculate. The letting agent did the inspection the next morning and said there was nothing to deduct. Full deposit back within two weeks. Worth every cent."
— Sophie, Grand Canal Dock
How do I book an end of tenancy cleaning in Dublin?
Call us on +353 818 294 343 or email dublin@grannyscleaning.com. Tell us your address, the number of bedrooms, and your move-out date. We will send you a clear, fixed-price quote — usually within minutes. No hidden fees. No surprises. We offer same-day and next-day availability across Dublin.
How long does an end of tenancy clean take?
A typical one-bedroom apartment takes 3 to 4 hours. A two-bedroom takes 4 to 5 hours. Larger properties may take a full day. We send enough team members to get the job done efficiently without cutting corners. We work fast — but we never rush.
Will I get my full deposit back?
We cannot guarantee your landlord's decision — but we can guarantee our clean meets and exceeds the standard landlords and letting agents expect. Over 98% of our end of tenancy clients receive their full deposit back. And if your landlord raises a cleaning issue after our visit, we come back and fix it for free.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
Not at all. Many of our Dublin clients leave us the keys, go to work, and come back to a spotless property. We are Garda vetted and fully insured. You can trust us in your space. If you prefer to be there, that is fine too — whatever works for you.
What if the landlord is not happy with the clean?
Then we come back and clean again. Free. That is our guarantee. No arguments. No fine print. We stand behind every end of tenancy clean we deliver. In over 1,000 completed move-out cleans, fewer than 2% of clients have ever needed a reclean.
One call. One quote. One clean. That is all it takes to hand back the keys with confidence, get your full deposit back, and move on to the next chapter — stress free.
🎁
Every end of tenancy cleaning session includes a complimentary professional aromatisation. The property will not just look spotless for the inspection — it will smell incredible the moment the landlord walks through the door. Fresh linen. Citrus burst. Ocean breeze. You choose. We apply. No extra charge.
