Commercial Cleaning Services Across Dublin
Dublin is Ireland's commercial capital, home to over 1.4 million people across the city and county. From the glass towers of the Docklands and the IFSC to the suburban business parks of Sandyford, Citywest, and Park West, Dublin has the highest concentration of commercial premises in the country. Every one of those premises needs cleaning — and the standard expected in Dublin is higher than anywhere else in Ireland.

We serve offices on Baggot Street and Fitzwilliam Square, hotels in Temple Bar and Ballsbridge, hospitals including the Mater, St James's, Beaumont, Tallaght University Hospital, and St Vincent's, universities including Trinity College Dublin and UCD, retail centres including Dundrum Town Centre, Liffey Valley, and Blanchardstown Centre, and apartment developments from the Docklands to Adamstown.

Sectors We Serve in Dublin
Dublin's economy spans technology, financial services, healthcare, hospitality, education, retail, and construction. Optus Glean serves all of these sectors with specialist cleaning teams trained for each environment.
Corporate & Office
Dublin is home to the European headquarters of Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, and hundreds of other multinationals, concentrated in the Docklands, Grand Canal Dock, and the IFSC. The standard of office cleaning expected by these tenants is exacting — clean desks, spotless washrooms, polished floors, and zero tolerance for dust. Beyond the tech giants, Dublin has thousands of professional services firms, law offices on Fitzwilliam Square, accountancy practices on Merrion Square, and financial services companies on Harcourt Street and Baggot Street. Optus Glean provides daily office cleaning, periodic deep cleaning, and washroom services to corporate clients across all Dublin postcodes.
Hotels & Hospitality
Dublin's hotel sector is one of the strongest in Europe, with over 23,000 hotel rooms across the city and county. From five-star properties like The Shelbourne, The Merrion, and The Westbury to budget chains in the Docklands and Airport corridor, every hotel needs reliable housekeeping. Dublin also has a thriving Airbnb market, particularly in the city centre and coastal suburbs like Howth and Dun Laoghaire. Optus Glean provides hotel housekeeping, commercial laundry, and changeover cleaning for short-let properties across Dublin.
Healthcare
Dublin has the highest concentration of healthcare facilities in Ireland. Major hospitals include the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, St James's Hospital, Beaumont Hospital, Tallaght University Hospital, St Vincent's University Hospital, the Rotunda Hospital, and the National Children's Hospital at Connolly. Beyond hospitals, Dublin has hundreds of GP surgeries, dental practices, physiotherapy clinics, and nursing homes. All require HIQA-compliant cleaning with documented infection control protocols. Optus Glean provides healthcare cleaning with full traceability, colour-coded systems, and audit-ready documentation.
Education
Dublin is Ireland's university city. Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin (UCD), Dublin City University (DCU), Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin), the Royal College of Surgeons, and the National College of Ireland all require large-scale cleaning across lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, student residences, and sports facilities. Dublin also has hundreds of primary and secondary schools, many of which outsource cleaning. Optus Glean provides student accommodation cleaning and campus cleaning services to educational institutions across Dublin.
Construction
Dublin is the centre of Ireland's construction boom. Major residential developments in Cherrywood, Clonburris, Adamstown, and the Docklands generate continuous demand for post-construction cleaning and builder's cleans. Commercial developments across the city, from office towers in the Docklands to retail expansions in Swords and Blanchardstown, all need sparkle cleans before handover. Optus Glean provides Safe Pass certified post-construction cleaning teams for Dublin's busiest building sites.
