One Cleaning Company for Everything Your Business Needs
Finding the right cleaning company in Ireland used to mean choosing between large multinationals who treat you as a number and small local operators who lack the resources to deliver consistently. Optus Glean is built for the middle ground: professional enough to handle complex multi-site contracts, but Irish-owned and hands-on enough to know your name and your building.
We provide over 20 cleaning and facilities services across all 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland. From daily office cleaning to specialist healthcare decontamination, from commercial laundry to washroom management — one company, one contract, one invoice. The more you bundle, the more you save.

Why Choose Optus Glean?
Irish-Owned and Operated
Optus Glean is an Irish-owned company headquartered in Glaslough, Co. Monaghan. We are not a franchise, not a multinational subsidiary, and not a one-person operation trading under a company name. We employ directly, train in-house, and manage every contract through our own operational teams. Your money stays in the Irish economy.
Multi-Service Capability
Most cleaning companies in Ireland specialise in one or two services. We provide the full spectrum. This matters because building maintenance requires multiple services — and managing them through separate providers creates complexity, cost, and finger-pointing. One company handling everything means one point of accountability and genuine operational integration.
Above National Minimum Wage
We pay our cleaning operatives above the national minimum wage. This is not corporate virtue signalling — it is operational strategy. Higher pay attracts better staff, reduces turnover, and delivers more consistent cleaning. The cleaning industry in Ireland suffers from 40–60% annual staff turnover. Our turnover rate is significantly lower because our people are paid properly, trained properly, and treated properly.
Comprehensive Insurance
We carry €6.5 million public liability insurance and €13 million employer's liability insurance. These are among the highest coverage levels in the Irish cleaning industry. Many smaller operators carry only €1–2M public liability, which may be inadequate for commercial contracts.
Garda Vetted Teams
Every Optus Glean employee is Garda vetted through the National Vetting Bureau. This is mandatory for our healthcare and education clients, but we apply it across all services. Our clients can trust that every person who enters their building has been vetted.
Sectors We Serve
Our clients span every major sector of the Irish economy. Each sector page explains how our services are tailored to specific industry requirements.
- Corporate & Office — Banks, law firms, tech companies, co-working spaces, and government offices
- Healthcare — GP surgeries, dental practices, clinics, nursing homes, and pharmacies
- Hospitality — Hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, pubs, and event venues
- Education — Primary schools, secondary schools, universities, and creches

Deep cleaning is €150–€500 for residential, €500–€5,000+ for commercial. Specialist services like healthcare and industrial cleaning are priced per square metre or per project.
What cleaning services are available in Ireland?
Optus Glean provides 20+ services: office cleaning, retail cleaning, hotel cleaning, apartment block cleaning, student accommodation cleaning, healthcare cleaning, post-construction cleaning, end-of-tenancy cleaning, vacant property cleaning, industrial cleaning, airport cleaning, carpet and floor cleaning, window cleaning, pressure washing, deep cleaning, commercial laundry, and washroom services. All available across all 26 counties.
How do I choose a cleaning company in Ireland?
Check insurance coverage (minimum €6.5M PL recommended), Garda vetting, industry certifications, client references, transparent pricing, and contract flexibility. Always request a site survey and written specification before signing. Avoid companies that require 36-month contracts upfront or do not provide their own equipment.
Do cleaning companies provide their own supplies?
Yes. Professional cleaning companies provide all equipment, products, and supplies. This includes vacuum cleaners, mops, chemicals, floor machines, and specialist equipment. If a company asks you to provide supplies, this is a red flag. Optus Glean supplies everything as standard.
What is contract cleaning?
Contract cleaning is an ongoing agreement for regular cleaning services with defined scope, frequency, standards, and pricing. Contracts typically run 12 to 36 months with fixed monthly fees. The advantage over ad-hoc cleaning is consistency, accountability, and cost predictability. Optus Glean offers flexible 12-month contracts.
How often should a business be professionally cleaned?
Most offices need daily cleaning (5 days/week). High-traffic environments may need multiple daily cleans. Low-occupancy offices can manage with 3 cleans per week. In addition, businesses should schedule weekly deep tasks, monthly specialist tasks, and quarterly deep cleans. The right frequency depends on foot traffic and your industry.
Are cleaning companies in Ireland insured?
Reputable ones are, but coverage varies widely. Some carry only €1M public liability. Optus Glean carries €6.5M public liability and €13M employer's liability — among the highest in the Irish cleaning industry. Always ask for a copy of the insurance certificate before engaging any cleaning company.
What areas in Ireland do you cover?
All 26 counties. Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, and every county from Donegal to Kerry. Headquarters in Glaslough, Co. Monaghan, with operational teams nationwide. We provide single national contracts for multi-site businesses.
Can I bundle multiple cleaning services together?
Yes, and it is the best way to save. Adding laundry to a cleaning contract saves 15–25%. Adding washroom services provides 20–40% more value than standalone providers. The more services you bundle under a single Optus Glean contract, the better the rates across every service.
What is the difference between commercial and domestic cleaning?
Commercial cleaning serves business premises with professional equipment, trained and Garda vetted staff, documented quality systems, and significant insurance (€6.5M+ PL). Domestic cleaning serves private homes with less formal arrangements. Optus Glean is a commercial cleaning company that also offers residential deep cleaning and end-of-tenancy services.
