Short answer: on Vano, a cleaner in Galway costs €18 an hour, and you book exactly the hours you want. No contracts, no minimum weekly commitment, no call-out charge. Here's what that actually comes to, what's included, and how it compares.
Galway cleaning prices at a glance (2026)
- 2-hour clean (kitchen + bathroom + floors) — €36
- 3-hour clean (whole small home) — €54
- 4-hour deep clean — €72
- Oven & kitchen clean — €18–€36 (1–2 hours usually does it)
- End-of-tenancy clean — €54–€72 for most flats (3–4 hours)
On top of the job price there's one small booking fee — 15% of the job price, minimum €4 — charged to your card only when a helper says yes. So a 2-hour clean is €36 + €5.40 = €41.40 all-in. The €36 goes straight to your cleaner (Revolut or cash when the job's done — they keep 100%), and the price is agreed upfront, so there are no surprises after.
What's included in a standard clean?
The everyday essentials: kitchen surfaces and hob, bathroom (toilet, sink, shower or bath), floors hoovered and mopped, and general tidying and dusting. If you want the heavier stuff — inside the oven, inside cupboards, limescale, skirting boards — book more time and say so in the booking note. Our guide to deep clean vs standard clean helps you pick.
Who does the cleaning?
Local student cleaners — real students at ATU and the University of Galway, every one ID-verified before their first job and rated after every job. You see their name, photo and rating before they arrive, follow them on a live map on the way, and they can only start with the 4-digit code shown on your screen.
How Galway cleaner prices compare
Agency cleans in Ireland commonly run €20–€30+ an hour once fees are counted, often with minimum visits or contracts. Independent cleaners can be cheaper but are hard to find at short notice and rarely vetted. Vano sits in the honest middle: €18/hr flat, bookable same-day, with verification built in — and because your cleaner keeps 100% of the job price, the low price doesn't come out of their pocket.
