Commercial Cleaning near you in Ireland

Emptying bins, vacuuming and mopping floors, wiping desks and touchpoints, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, and restocking consumables. Window cleaning, carpet extraction, and floor stripping/polishing are usually scheduled extras.

Janitorial usually means recurring day-to-day cleaning (bins, floors, bathrooms), while commercial cleaning also covers periodic heavy work: carpet extraction, hard-floor machine scrubbing, high-level dusting, and post-construction cleans.

Under roughly 10-15 hours of cleaning per week, a contracted company is usually cheaper once you count payroll, insurance, cover for absences, and equipment. In-house starts to win for large single sites with full-time cleaning need.

Three common models: per hour per cleaner (small offices), per square metre/foot per visit (larger spaces), or a fixed monthly contract based on visit frequency. Most quotes are set after a walkthrough that counts desks, bathrooms, kitchens and floor types.

Reputable companies run signed key registers, alarm-code logs, and vetted staff lists. Ask how keys are stored, who can access your site, and whether staff are background-checked before handing over out-of-hours access.

An Employment Regulation Order that sets legally binding minimum pay and conditions for contract cleaners, above the national minimum wage. A quote that could only be delivered below ERO rates is a compliance risk for your business — the WRC inspects the sector actively.
