End of Tenancy Deep Cleaning in Galway
Galway's rental market is driven by two forces: the University of Galway (formerly NUIG) with over 18,000 students and ATU (formerly GMIT) with thousands more, plus a growing professional workforce attracted by the medtech and technology sectors. The result is one of the tightest rental markets in Ireland, with landlords able to be highly selective about tenant standards.
A professional end of tenancy clean protects your deposit as a tenant and ensures your property is presented at its best as a landlord. Optus Glean provides comprehensive end of tenancy cleaning across Galway with a deposit back guarantee.
Galway Areas We Cover
Student Rental Areas
- University of Galway vicinity — Newcastle Road, University Road, Nun's Island, Taylor's Hill, Shantalla, Newcastle, Threadneedle Road. Dense student housing in house-shares and purpose-built accommodation

Student properties in Galway typically require more intensive cleaning than standard rentals. Shared kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas in 4-to-6-person house-shares accumulate heavy soiling over an academic year. Our teams are experienced with the condition of Galway student houses and price accordingly.

Beyond student housing, Galway has a growing apartment market in the city centre and suburban family rental market in Knocknacarra, Rahoon, Oranmore, Salthill, Renmore, and Merlin. We provide end of tenancy cleaning for all property types across all Galway areas.
