What is included in a deep clean of a house?

A deep clean covers areas that a routine clean does not. It typically includes skirting boards, door frames, inside cupboards, inside the oven and fridge, limescale removal, and washing floors and tiles. Windows, carpets, and upholstery may be extra. The customer should agree the exact list before the visit.

How often should I book a deep clean?

Most homes need a deep clean every three to six months, with routine cleaning in between. A rental property is usually deep cleaned at each change of tenant. Homes with pets, children, or smokers may need it more often. The customer can set a schedule that suits the household.

How long does a deep clean take?

A deep clean of a two-bed apartment can take three to five hours. A three-bed house often takes five to eight hours, and a larger property can take a full day or more. The time depends on the size, condition, and the list of tasks agreed in advance.

Do I need to be at home during the deep clean?

No, many customers provide access by key, key safe, or alarm code and are not at home. If the customer prefers to be present, that can be arranged. Either way, the access method and any alarm details should be agreed before the visit.

What should I do before the cleaner arrives?

The customer should clear personal items, valuables, and clutter from surfaces and floors so the cleaner can work efficiently. Pets should be secured if they are nervous around strangers. Any specific instructions, such as which products to use, should be given in advance.

Can I book a deep clean as a regular service?

Yes, a deep clean can be set up as a recurring visit, such as monthly or quarterly. The same cleaner or team can attend each time, which helps with consistency. The customer and provider should agree the frequency, the scope of each visit, and the cancellation terms.

Deep cleaning is bought on a schedule, not once. A household or landlord may book a deep clean every month, every quarter, or twice a year, and the visit is longer and more detailed than a routine clean. In Ireland, deep cleaning is common before or after tenants move out, after building work, at the start of a new tenancy, or when a home needs a reset. The customer describes what they need — rooms, appliances, windows, skirting boards, inside cupboards — and can browse provider profiles by county and contact them directly. A deep clean can be arranged as a one-off visit or as part of an ongoing contract, and the same cleaner or team can return on each date if that suits the household. The customer decides how often the service runs and what each visit covers.

What shapes the price of deep cleaning

The price of a deep clean depends on several factors.
It can be quoted per visit, per hour, or per property, and the rate may differ for a one-off clean compared with a regular contract.
The size of the property matters: a two-bed apartment takes less time than a five-bed house.
The condition of the property matters too — a clean after a long tenancy or after builders have been in will take longer than a routine deep clean.
Extra items such as inside ovens, inside fridges, inside windows, carpets, or upholstery can add to the time and the cost.
Travel distance to the property may also be a factor.
