How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Dublin?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Dublin starts from $429 per visit. By comparison, standard house cleaning starts from $269. The higher price for an empty home reflects the deeper scope, as every cabinet, closet, appliance, baseboard, and section of tile grout is cleaned without skipping areas for the landlord or buyer inspection. We quote a flat price per visit based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall condition of the home, so the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Rather than charging per item, our move-out cleaning includes inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, emptied cabinets and closets, baseboards, and deep house cleaning of all living areas. Every quote is free and itemized before you book.
What move out cleaning in Dublin involves that a generic one does not
In Dublin, 54 percent of residences are single-family detached houses, while only 5 percent are in large apartment buildings with 20 or more units. By comparison, in nearby Fairview, 80 percent of homes are single-family houses. The larger floor plans and extra bathrooms common in Dublin single-family properties mean more surface area for landlords and buyers to inspect. Regional weather events also impact interior surfaces. After wildfire smoke events, fine ash settles along window sills, tracks, and vent covers, which a landlord will spot during a walkthrough. Additionally, heavy rain causes local flooding that leads to mud being tracked across floors and entries. Wiping down entryways, clearing window tracks of ash, and scrubbing floor grout keep these vulnerable areas clean. Booking a specialized cleaner allows you to address these regional factors before handing over the keys.
Getting the security deposit back in Dublin
Under California law, a landlord has no later than 21 calendar days after a tenant has vacated the premises to return the security deposit or provide an itemized list of deductions. The clock starts the day you vacate the property. For detailed rules on normal wear and tear and documenting pre-existing damage, visit our California move-out cleaning page. Taking dated photos of every room after the clean and saving your itemized receipt will help resolve most security deposit disputes.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Dublin
A move-out or move-in cleaning for a studio or one-bedroom home takes 2 to 4 labor hours. A two-bedroom takes 4 to 6 labor hours, while a three-bedroom home measuring 1,500 to 2,000 square feet requires 5 to 8 labor hours. Larger homes with four or more bedrooms of 3,000 square feet or more take 8 to 14 or more labor hours. Sending a two-person crew roughly halves the time on site. Cleaning appliances on a move-out can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days ahead gives you the best choice of times. Schedule the move out cleaning for your final day after movers finish, and move-in cleaning for the day before boxes arrive, making sure power and running water remain connected.

Move out cleaning in Dublin: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Dublin?
A move out cleaning starts from $429 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the property, rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean is worth it if your security deposit is larger than the service cost or if your lease explicitly requires a cleaned unit. It is unnecessary if your lease already charges a fixed non-negotiable cleaning fee, so check your lease agreement first.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers empty interior spaces completely, including inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, emptied cabinets and closets, baseboards, floors, and bathrooms top to bottom. Deep house cleaning techniques are applied to every room on the checklist.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we provide a flat price per visit determined by bedrooms, bathrooms, and initial home condition. Hourly quotes are hard to compare because total costs fluctuate depending on who shows up and how long they stay.
How long does a landlord in California have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must send your full deposit or an itemized statement of deductions within 21 calendar days after you vacate the property. Review our main California page for complete details on state deposit laws and tenant rights.
