From 1 January 2026 the legal minimum for contract cleaning staff is €14.80 an hour — €1.30 above the national minimum wage. If your cleaning quote didn't move this year, that is worth a conversation.
TenancyShort answer: sometimes — but not for routine cleaning, not for normal wear and tear, and not without evidence. The burden of proof sits with the landlord, and that detail decides most disputes.
PricingEvery cleaning company answers this with “it depends”. It does — but not infinitely. Here are the real 2026 ranges, the legal cost floor underneath them, and the four variables that move your price.
TenancyMost end-of-tenancy checklists are written by cleaners. This one is ordered by what the person holding your deposit looks at first — and where the deductions actually come from.
No obligation. No sales call unless you ask for one. You see the price range before you give us your details.
