Dublin 6
What cleaning in Rathmines usually involves
01
Bedsits and shared kitchens
Subdivided houses hold several small units. Each flat leaves on its own date and needs its own move-out clean.
02
Tall rooms and sash windows
Victorian rooms have high ceilings, picture rails and coving. Dust collects up high, so step ladders come on every job.
03
Damp in basements and returns
Garden-level flats and bathrooms built into the return often show mould around windows and on the ceiling.
04
Stairs and permit parking
Top-floor flats with no lift and permit-only streets add time, so tell us where a van can stop.

Homes, water and lets in Rathmines
Rathmines was called a Dublin Belgravia in the 19th century. From the 1930s its big Georgian and Victorian houses were split into rented rooms for junior civil servants and students, and the area became known as Flatland. Many of those houses are now being turned back into single family homes. Ranelagh, once a village called Cullenswood, has fine Victorian streets around Mount Pleasant Square. So most of what we clean in Dublin 6 is old: high ceilings, sash windows, cast-iron fireplaces, plaster cornices and tiled hall floors.
That age shapes the work. A move-out in a converted house can mean a bedsit on the top floor and a garden flat below, each with its own landlord inspection. Shared hallways and stairs often belong to nobody, so the scope is agreed before the day. When a period house goes back to single use, it needs a heavy deep clean after the builders, with plaster dust in every cornice and floorboard gap. Rathmines Library, opened in 1913 with a Carnegie grant, and the green copper dome of Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners, mark the heart of the district. Rathmines College of Further Education is based in the Town Hall, and young renters keep a steady flow of flat handovers through the year.
Limescale is a smaller job in Dublin 6 than in Fingal or west Lucan. South Dublin County Council puts water from the Ballymore Eustace, Ballyboden and Roundwood plants at about 50 mg/l of calcium carbonate. The hard Leixlip supply, at 150-300 mg/l, goes to Fingal and the north fringe of the city, according to the Irish Times. Damp is the real issue in these houses. Solid walls, single-glazed sashes and small bathrooms in the return leave condensation and black mould, which is why mould cleaning is booked here more than limescale removal.
How a booking in Rathmines works
Tell us the floor, whether there is a lift and where a van can park, as many Dublin 6 roads are permit only. For a flat move-out, send the inventory or the check-in photos if you have them, and we price the clean from those before booking.
Rathmines, Ranelagh and Rathgar fall under Dublin City Council. Average rent on new tenancies there was €2,191 a month in Q4 2025, according to the RTB Rent Index.

How we reach you
From Citywest, vans join the N81 and follow it through Templeogue and Terenure, which brings them into Rathgar and on to Rathmines without touching the city centre. Ranelagh sits just east, on the Luas Green Line, so it is reached from the same road. The Charlemont stop sits just north of Ranelagh, beside the Grand Canal.
- N81 from Tallaght through Templeogue and Terenure into Rathgar
- Luas Red Line into town, then the Green Line to Ranelagh or Beechwood
- Rathmines Road south from the Grand Canal at Portobello
Cleaning in Rathmines: questions
How much is an end of tenancy clean for a flat in Rathmines?
An end of tenancy clean of a studio flat in Rathmines costs from €140 with Dublin Cleaners, and a one-bed from €165. A two-bed is from €210, and each extra bathroom adds €30. Shared hallways and stairs in a converted house are only included if the landlord asks.
Do you clean Victorian and period houses in Ranelagh and Rathgar?
Yes. Period houses take longer than modern ones because of high ceilings, coving, picture rails, sash windows and original tiled floors. Tell us about any delicate surfaces, such as marble fireplaces or encaustic tiles, so the team uses suitable products and avoids acidic cleaners on stone.
Is limescale a problem in Dublin 6?
Rarely. Dublin 6 sits away from the hard Leixlip supply, and the southern treatment plants send out soft water of roughly 50 mg/l. In a Rathmines or Ranelagh bathroom, the hours go on mould, blackened silicone and grout, with only a light descale on taps.
Can you clean a top-floor flat with no lift?
Yes. Most Dublin 6 flats in converted houses have no lift, and the team carries its equipment up the stairs. Let us know the floor when booking, along with any key collection details and where a van can stop, so the time is planned into the price.
Which parts of Dublin 6 do you cover?
All of it, including Rathmines, Ranelagh, Rathgar, Portobello, Milltown and Dartry, plus Harold's Cross and Terenure next door. The price list is the same here as in the rest of County Dublin, with no travel charge added for the south city.
