Managed Fleet Vehicle Washing by Optus Glean
Your fleet is a moving advertisement for your business. Dirty, unkempt vehicles send a message to customers, and it is not a good one. Whether you run 5 delivery vans or 500 trucks, keeping your fleet clean is essential for brand image, vehicle maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
Optus Glean provides managed fleet and vehicle cleaning as part of our facilities management service. We handle everything — scheduling, staff, equipment, products, waste water management, and quality auditing — so you can focus on running your business.
Fleet Washing Services
Mobile Fleet Washing
Our mobile fleet washing teams come to your depot, car park, or any location with all the equipment needed to wash your fleet on-site. This is the most convenient option because vehicles stay at your premises and drivers are not diverted. Our mobile units carry high-capacity water tanks, commercial pressure washers, and all cleaning products. We can wash a fleet of 20 to 50 vehicles in a single visit.
Depot-Based Fleet Washing
For operations with dedicated depot facilities, we can set up a wash station at your depot with equipment, drainage, and waste water management. This provides a permanent solution for daily or weekly fleet washing. Depot-based washing is ideal for larger fleets where vehicles return to a central location regularly.
Scheduled Contract Washing
Most fleet washing is delivered on a contract basis with scheduled visits. Typical schedules include:
- Weekly — Ideal for branded delivery vans, customer-facing vehicles, and vehicles operating in dirty environments
- Fortnightly — Good balance of cost and cleanliness for general commercial fleets
- Monthly — Suitable for office-based fleets with lower mileage and limited exposure to dirt
- Ad hoc — On-demand washing for irregular requirements or seasonal deep cleans

Frequently Asked Questions — Fleet Vehicle Washing Ireland
How much does fleet vehicle washing cost in Ireland?
Car fleet washing: €12-20 per vehicle. Van washing: €15-25. Truck/HGV: €30-60. Monthly contracts with regular scheduling offer the best rates. Optus Glean provides bespoke pricing based on fleet size, vehicle types, and wash frequency.
Do you offer mobile fleet washing or depot-based washing?
Both. Mobile washing means our team comes to your premises with all equipment. Depot-based washing is done at a fixed wash facility. Mobile is more convenient; depot-based allows better waste water management. We recommend the best approach based on your fleet size and location.
How often should fleet vehicles be washed?
Weekly or fortnightly for most fleets. Branded vehicles and customer-facing vans should be washed weekly minimum. In winter, more frequent washing removes road salt and prevents corrosion. See our washing frequency guide.
Can fleet washing be done outside business hours?
Yes. We schedule fleet washing around your operations. Evening, early morning, and weekend washing are all available. We work with you to find the schedule that minimises disruption.
What is included in a fleet washing contract?
Scheduled vehicle washing, all products and equipment, dedicated operatives, waste water management, environmental compliance, quality auditing, and monthly reporting. Contracts are flexible as your fleet size changes.
Do you wash trucks and HGVs as well as cars and vans?
Yes. We wash all vehicle types: cars, vans, trucks, HGVs, buses, coaches, plant machinery, and specialist vehicles. Truck and HGV washing uses high-reach pressure washers, platform access, and waste water containment.
