Business Cleaning in Dublin: Monthly Costs, What's Included and How to Set Up a Regular Schedule
By the team at Premier Contract Cleaning. Dublin's trusted commercial cleaning company, keeping businesses across the city clean and presentable on a regular schedule for almost a decade.
Most business owners do not want a lecture on cleaning. They want it sorted.
They have decided the office, shop, or unit needs a regular clean, and now they are stuck on the practical bits. What it costs each month, what they actually get, and how to set it up without a load of back and forth.
Setting up regular cleaning should be simple, and after almost a decade cleaning Dublin businesses, we have made it exactly that for plenty of them.
Here is what business cleaning costs per month in Dublin, what a proper package includes, which businesses need it, how to set up a schedule that fits your hours, and whether one company can look after all your locations. No jargon, just the practical picture.
How Much Does Business Cleaning Cost in Dublin per Month?
In Dublin in 2026, regular business cleaning typically costs around €400 to €800 per month for a standard office of 100 to 300 square metres, cleaned three to five times a week. Larger premises or daily service run into four figures, for example a 500 square metre office at around €1,500 per month. Prices are usually quoted before VAT at 13.5 percent, and the exact figure comes from a free site survey.
We always give a clear monthly number rather than a vague estimate. A predictable cost is what makes budgeting easy, so that is what we quote.
What drives your monthly cost
Four things shape the price more than anything else:
- The size of your premises
- How often you want it cleaned
- The scope, or how much is covered each visit
- Access, and how easy the space is to clean
How it is priced (and the VAT note)
Business cleaning is usually quoted per month, per square metre, or per hour. In Dublin, per-square-metre rates run about €2.00 to €4.50 a month, higher than the rest of Ireland by 15 to 25 percent because of city labour and operating costs.
One thing to remember: cleaning prices are quoted before VAT, which is 13.5 percent in Ireland. A good quote will always make that clear.
Here is a rough 2026 guide:
| Premises | Service | Monthly guide (before VAT) |
| Small office (100 to 300 m²) | 3 to 5 cleans a week | €400 to €800 |
| Larger office (around 500 m²) | Regular or daily | From around €1,500 |
| Per square metre | Monthly | €2.00 to €4.50/m² |
One thing that surprises people is how much frequency moves the price. Going from three cleans a week to five is a bigger jump than most expect, because it is more labour, not more square metres.
So the smart move is to match frequency to footfall, not habit. A quiet office rarely needs five cleans a week, and we will tell you that on the survey rather than oversell it. For the deeper detail on rates, see our office cleaning cost guide.
What Is Included in a Business Cleaning Package in Ireland?
A standard business cleaning package in Ireland covers the recurring essentials: floors vacuumed and mopped, desks and surfaces dusted and wiped, washrooms cleaned, sanitised and restocked, the kitchen or break room cleaned, bins emptied and waste removed, reception and common areas, and high-touch points wiped down. Extras like window cleaning, carpet cleaning, and periodic deep cleans are usually added on as needed.
The core package is built around what keeps your space clean and presentable every single day. The extras are there for when you need them.
The standard recurring clean
This is the part that runs on every visit. It is the backbone of any regular contract:
- Floors vacuumed and hard floors mopped
- Desks and surfaces dusted and wiped
- Washrooms cleaned, sanitised, and restocked
- Kitchen or break room cleaned, bins emptied
- Reception and common areas kept tidy
- High-touch points wiped down (handles, switches)
Add-ons and periodic extras
Beyond the core, most businesses add a few extras on a schedule that suits them. Window cleaning, carpet cleaning, periodic deep cleans, and floor care are the common ones.
We build these into your plan so they happen automatically, rather than you having to remember to book them. For the specifics, see our guides on commercial carpet cleaning and window cleaning.
One common mistake we see is signing up to a package with a vague scope. "General cleaning" can mean very different things to you and to a cleaner.
So our advice, whoever you choose, is simple. Get the exact task list in writing, and check what is included versus what is an extra. A clear scope is what prevents the "I thought that was covered" conversation later.
What Types of Businesses Need Professional Cleaning Services in Dublin?
Almost any business with a premises that staff or customers use benefits from professional cleaning. The most common in Dublin are offices, retail shops, medical and dental practices, gyms, showrooms, restaurants and cafés, hotels, schools and childcare, salons, and warehouses. If people walk through your door, the space is part of your reputation, and that is exactly what professional cleaning protects.
We clean for a real mix of Dublin businesses, and the reason is always the same. A clean space is good business, and a grubby one quietly costs you.
The most common business types
These are the premises we are asked to clean most often:
- Offices and corporate spaces
- Retail shops and showrooms
- Medical, dental, and healthcare practices
- Gyms and fitness studios
- Restaurants, cafés, and hotels
- Schools, childcare, and salons
Why every premises benefits
It is not just about appearances, though first impressions matter. A professional clean protects hygiene, supports staff wellbeing, and helps with health and safety compliance.
A clean office means fewer sick days and a sharper image. A clean clinic or kitchen is simply non-negotiable. The bigger the footfall, the more it matters.
How Do I Set Up a Regular Cleaning Schedule for My Business in Dublin?
Setting up regular cleaning is straightforward. Decide roughly what you need, book a free site survey, then agree the scope, frequency, and timing. From there you get a clear quote and contract, sort access, and the team starts, with regular reviews to keep it right. A good company handles the detail so you do not have to.
We have set this up for plenty of Dublin businesses, and the whole point is that it should take very little of your time.
The setup, step by step
Here is how it actually works:
- Decide roughly what you need cleaned and how often
- Book a free site survey
- Agree the scope, frequency, and timing
- Get a clear quote and contract
- Sort access and keys
- The team starts on the agreed date
- Regular reviews keep the standard right
Choosing your frequency and timing
Most businesses go for daily, several times a week, or weekly, depending on footfall. We help you settle on the right rhythm during the survey.
As a rough steer, this is how it usually lands:
- Daily: busy offices, retail, gyms, restaurants, and healthcare
- Three to five times a week: medium offices and showrooms
- Weekly or fortnightly: small or low-traffic premises
The timing is the easy part. We work after hours or before opening, so the cleaning never disrupts your team or your customers.
Can a Cleaning Company Cover Multiple Business Locations in Dublin?
Yes. An established commercial cleaning company can cover multiple locations under a single contract, with consistent standards across every site, one point of contact, and centralised billing. For businesses with several branches, offices, or units, this is far simpler than managing a different cleaner at each location, and it keeps the standard the same everywhere.
This is one of the most common reasons growing businesses move to a single provider. Juggling separate cleaners across sites is a headache nobody needs.
How multi-site contracts work
It is genuinely simpler than people expect. You get one contract, one account manager, and one invoice, with the same agreed standard applied at every location.
If something needs attention at any site, you make one call. No chasing different cleaners with different standards.
Why it beats separate cleaners per site
The big win is consistency. A single provider keeps every location to the same standard, which is hard to manage when each site has its own cleaner.
It also scales with you. As you add locations, they simply join the existing contract.
There is an admin saving too. One invoice, one contact, and one set of standards is far less to manage than three or four separate arrangements, each with its own quirks and its own billing.
What we see with multi-site clients: One Dublin business came to us juggling three separate cleaners across three sites, with three different standards. We brought it all under one contract, and for the first time every location looked the same.
