What is a deep clean and when do you need one?

A deep clean is not a more thorough version of your regular clean. It’s a different type of clean entirely — covering areas that a standard visit doesn’t touch, using different products, and taking significantly longer. Here’s what to expect.

What a deep clean covers

  • Kitchen: inside oven, extractor fan and filter, inside all cupboards, behind appliances, descaling around taps and sinks
  • Bathrooms: descaling shower screens and taps, cleaning grout, sanitising all surfaces including behind the toilet
  • Bedrooms: under beds, inside wardrobes, window tracks, skirting boards
  • Living areas: inside and behind furniture, light fittings, blinds and shutters, plug sockets
  • Floors: edges and corners, under furniture, grout on tiled floors

When do you need one?

  • After a tenancy ends — before a new tenant or guests arrive
  • When a property has been empty for an extended period
  • Before you put the property on the rental market
  • Once or twice a year as a reset, on top of regular cleaning
  • After building work or renovation

How long does it take and what does it cost?

A two-bedroom apartment typically takes 4–6 hours for a deep clean. A larger villa can take a full day or require two cleaners. Expect to pay €150–€350 for an apartment and €300–€600 for a larger property. Always get a quote based on your specific property — condition and size both affect the price significantly.
