End of Tenancy Cleaning for Limerick Rentals
Limerick has one of Ireland's most active rental markets, driven by the city's large student population and growing professional workforce. The University of Limerick (UL) at Castletroy and Mary Immaculate College (MIC) in the city centre create enormous demand for student rental accommodation in areas like Castletroy, Annacotty, Corbally, and the city centre. Professional tenants fill apartments and houses across Dooradoyle, Raheen, the city centre, and the growing suburban developments at Mungret. Every tenancy turnover — whether a student house share in Castletroy or a city centre apartment — needs a thorough end of tenancy clean to satisfy landlords, letting agents, and the RTB deposit return process.
Optus Glean provides professional end of tenancy cleaning across Limerick city and county. Our cleans are designed to meet the standard required for full deposit return, and we offer a satisfaction guarantee: if any area fails inspection, we return to rectify it free of charge within 48 hours.
Student Rental Market — UL and MIC
Limerick's student rental market is concentrated around the UL campus at Castletroy and the MIC campus on the South Circular Road. The annual cycle of student leases ending in May/June and starting in August/September creates a predictable peak in end of tenancy cleaning demand. Student house shares often require more intensive cleaning than standard rentals due to multiple occupants, shared cooking facilities, and the general wear and tear of student living. Optus Glean provides bulk booking rates for landlords and letting agents managing multiple student properties, with scheduled cleaning across all units to align with lease end dates.
City Centre Apartments
Limerick city centre has seen significant apartment development in recent years, with new builds along the riverfront, on Henry Street, and in the Opera Quarter. These modern apartments require careful cleaning of fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes, engineered wood or tile flooring, and contemporary bathrooms. Our city centre team knows the access requirements, parking constraints, and management company standards for Limerick's apartment developments.
Suburban Houses
Family rental houses in Dooradoyle, Raheen, Castletroy, Annacotty, Mungret, and other Limerick suburbs require comprehensive end of tenancy cleaning including garden-facing rooms, garages, utility rooms, and larger kitchen/living areas. We adjust our pricing and team size based on the property size and condition.

Do you clean student rentals near UL and MIC?
Yes. The student rental areas around UL Castletroy and MIC on the South Circular Road are a core market for our end of tenancy cleaning service. We understand the particular challenges of student house shares: multiple bedrooms, heavily used kitchens, limescale build-up in shared bathrooms, and the general wear associated with student living. We offer bulk booking rates for landlords and letting agents managing multiple student properties, and we schedule cleans to align with the academic calendar — typically May/June for lease ends and August/September for new tenancy preparations.
What does an end of tenancy clean include?
Our end of tenancy clean covers every room and surface in the property. The kitchen receives the most intensive cleaning: oven interior and exterior, hob, extractor hood and filters, fridge/freezer (defrosted and cleaned), all cupboard interiors and exteriors, countertops, splashback, sink, and floor. Bathrooms are fully sanitised including bath, shower, toilet (behind and base), grouting, and all chrome polished. Bedrooms are vacuumed/mopped, dusted, and all wardrobe interiors cleaned. Living areas receive full cleaning including skirting boards and internal windows. The result is a property ready for landlord inspection and deposit return.
Can I book end of tenancy cleaning at short notice in Limerick?
Yes. We offer same-day and next-day end of tenancy cleaning in Limerick subject to team availability. During peak periods — particularly May to September when student leases end and the general rental turnover season is at its busiest — we recommend booking at least 3 to 5 days in advance. For guaranteed availability on a specific date, booking at least one week ahead is advisable. Emergency bookings can usually be accommodated with a small surcharge.
Will your clean satisfy my landlord or letting agent?
Yes. Our end of tenancy cleans are specifically designed to meet the professional standard required for full deposit return. We clean to the same standard whether the property is managed by a private landlord, a letting agent, or a property management company. We include a satisfaction guarantee: if any area of the clean does not pass inspection by your landlord or agent, we will return within 48 hours to rectify it at no additional cost. This guarantee gives both tenants and landlords confidence in the result.
Do you offer carpet cleaning as part of end of tenancy?
Yes. Professional carpet cleaning is available as an add-on to any end of tenancy booking, costing €40 to €80 per room depending on size. We use hot water extraction (steam cleaning), which is the most effective method for removing deep-seated dirt, stains, pet odours, and allergens from carpets. Many Limerick rental agreements specify professional carpet cleaning as a condition of deposit return, and our service meets this requirement. We recommend adding carpet cleaning for any property with light-coloured carpets or where pets have been kept.
