Commercial Cleaning Across County Laois
County Laois sits at the geographic heart of Ireland, making it the Midlands Gateway for transport, logistics, and distribution. With a population of approximately 91,000, Laois has grown rapidly as a commuter county connected to Dublin via the M7 motorway. Portlaoise, the county town, is one of the best-connected towns in Ireland — equidistant between Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway on the motorway network.
Optus Glean provides commercial cleaning, specialist cleaning, laundry services, and facilities management across all of County Laois.
Portlaoise: Midlands Hub
Portlaoise is the county town with a population of approximately 25,000. The town has the Laois Shopping Centre, Kylekiproe Retail Park, and multiple business parks. Midlands Regional Hospital Portlaoise provides acute, maternity, and emergency services. The town is also home to Portlaoise Prison and the Midlands Prison. We provide contract office cleaning, retail cleaning, and healthcare cleaning across Portlaoise.
Distribution and Logistics
Laois’s position at the intersection of the M7 (Dublin–Limerick) and M8 (Dublin–Cork) motorways makes it a natural distribution hub. Togher Industrial Estate, Clonminam Industrial Estate, and the National Enterprise Park host logistics companies and warehouses. We provide industrial cleaning for warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities.
