What our office cleaning covers
Office cleaning covers the spaces people share all day: desks, kitchens, washrooms, meeting rooms, reception and floors. Agree the exact list in writing, with each task given a frequency, so daily jobs and weekly jobs are clear to you and to the cleaner on site.
A typical visit starts with bins and washrooms, then kitchens, then desks and meeting rooms, and finishes with floors.
- Cleared desks wiped and disinfected
- Keyboards, mice and phones if agreed
- Worktops, sink and taps
- Microwave inside, fridge and dishwasher fronts
- Toilets and urinals cleaned and disinfected
- Basins, taps and mirrors
- Reception desk and seating
- Entrance mats and glass doors
Desks, workstations and meeting rooms
Desks are wiped and disinfected where they are cleared, and a clear-desk policy means papers never need moving. Phones, keyboards and mice are wiped with an electronics-safe product if you want them included. Meeting room tables, chairs and whiteboards are reset for the next morning.
Glass partitions and doors are spot-cleaned for fingerprints, and sills and ledges are dusted. Under-desk bins are emptied into the main recycling and general waste.
Kitchens and breakout areas
The office kitchen gets the heaviest daily use and the most complaints. Worktops, sink and taps are cleaned, the microwave is wiped inside, and tables and chairs are cleaned for lunch the next day.
Decide who clears the fridge. Many offices pick one day a week for staff to bin out-of-date or unlabelled food. Loading or emptying the dishwasher can be added to the scope if staff would rather not.
Washrooms and supplies
Toilets, urinals, basins and taps are cleaned and disinfected every visit, with mirrors polished and the floor mopped. Sanitary bins are checked; their collection is usually a separate hygiene contract.
Ask whether the cleaner restocks dispensers and from where. Agree who watches stock levels, and whether consumables come from your store cupboard or are supplied and charged separately.
Reception, common areas and floors
Reception is the first thing visitors see, so the desk, seating, glass doors and entrance mat are done each visit. In multi-tenant buildings, stairwells, handrails and lift buttons can be added for your floor or for the whole block.
Carpets and carpet tiles are vacuumed with HEPA-filter machines that hold fine dust instead of blowing it across the desks. Hard floors in kitchens, washrooms and corridors are mopped. Separate mop heads for washrooms and kitchens are worth asking any cleaner about.
Daily, weekly and out-of-hours cleaning schedules
Busy offices with full desks and a shared kitchen usually need cleaning daily or three times a week. Small teams or offices used two or three days a week often manage with one or two visits. Agree the schedule in writing, with daily jobs and weekly jobs listed separately.
A daily visit covers bins, kitchen, washrooms, touchpoints and a vacuum of walkways. Weekly tasks are spread across the week: full vacuum under desks, skirting boards, glass partitions, the inside of the fridge and the meeting rooms that are booked less often.
Most offices want cleaning before staff arrive or after they leave. Ask about early morning, evening and Saturday slots when you book, and agree access and alarm arrangements in writing. Hybrid offices often move cleaning to the evening after their busiest days, which saves paying for visits on days the office sits empty.
Key-holding and alarm protocol
Out-of-hours cleaning means someone outside your company holds keys and sets your alarm, so agree the routine in writing before the first visit. Decide how keys are signed for and labelled, and whether each cleaner gets an individual alarm user code, so your panel log shows who entered and when.
Before the first visit, list every door, key and code the cleaner needs, and who to call if something is wrong. That includes the alarm company, your keyholder and the building manager if there is one. A personal code can be deleted the day someone leaves, which a shared code cannot.
Agree a lock-up check for the end of each visit: windows closed, kitchen appliances off, lights off, doors locked and the alarm set. Agree too what the cleaner should do if the alarm will not set or a door is found open on arrival, such as calling a named contact.
Agree that confidential waste stays where it is. Shredding consoles and confidential bags belong to your shredding contractor, and papers on desks should not be moved. Ask how keys come back to you when a contract ends.
What office cleaners must be paid: the Contract Cleaning ERO
Contract cleaners in Ireland are covered by an Employment Regulation Order that sets a higher minimum than the national minimum wage. From 1 January 2026 the floor is €14.80 an hour, according to SIPTU, with an extra €1.00 an hour for work between midnight and 6am.

RTÉ, Budget 2026
The order is S.I. 430 of 2025, according to ISME, and breaches can be referred to the Workplace Relations Commission. It covers more than 30,000 workers in the contract cleaning industry. The national minimum wage rose to €14.15 an hour on the same date, according to RTÉ, so the ERO rate sits above it.
This matters when you compare quotes. Every hour on site carries the wage, employer PRSI, holiday pay, insurance, products and supervision. A quote far below the market rate leaves little room for the legal wage once those costs are paid. Our €30 per hour rate includes VAT.
Site survey, written scope and pricing
Larger office contracts are usually priced from a site survey: count desks, washrooms and kitchens, and agree what is done daily and what is done weekly. Ask for a written scope with the hours, the schedule and a fixed monthly price. Our hourly rate is €30, with a 2-hour minimum visit.
Small offices can start at the 2-hour minimum visit. Larger offices, multi-floor sites and buildings with common areas are quoted on request, often as a fixed monthly fee instead of an open hourly bill. Revenue applies the reduced 13.5% VAT rate to cleaning services, and our prices already include it.
Name one contact on each side in the scope. When your office changes, such as a new team, a new floor or a move to hybrid working, update the tasks and hours in writing. Check the notice period for ending the contract before you sign.
Health and safety, products and hygiene
HSA guidance on contract cleaning says a risk assessment should be completed for each workplace before cleaning starts, covering hazards such as lone working, manual handling, fire safety and chemicals. Share your own risk assessment for the building, and ask any contractor for theirs.
The same HSA guidance says Safety Data Sheets should be available for hazardous chemicals, and warns against letting bleach come into contact with ammonia, toilet cleaners or drain cleaners. A short product list is usually enough: a neutral cleaner for desks and floors, a disinfectant for washrooms and touchpoints, and a descaler for taps and urinals.
Many contract cleaners use colour-coded microfibre cloths to keep washroom cloths out of kitchens and off desks, so ask how any contractor separates them. Products, cloths and machines all arrive with our cleaners, and the business holds public liability insurance covering work on your premises.
Periodic deep cleans, carpets and post fit-out cleaning
Regular visits keep an office tidy, but carpets, high glass and kitchens need a deeper clean every few months. These are best booked as separate periodic jobs in a quiet week. Office moves and post fit-out cleans are quoted as once-off jobs on request.
Carpet tiles in walkways and under desks are washed with hot water extraction, ideally late in the week so they have the weekend to dry. Internal glass, blinds, light diffusers and the tops of high cupboards are done in the same periodic visit.
After a fit-out or a refurbishment, plaster and builders dust settle on every surface for days. That needs an after builders clean with HEPA vacuums and damp wiping before staff move in, then regular office cleaning from the first working day.

Office Cleaning: questions
How much does office cleaning cost in Dublin?
Our office cleaning is €30 an hour, VAT included, and the shortest visit is 2 hours. A small office cleaned for 2 hours twice a week comes to about €520 a month, worked out from our hourly rate. Larger offices and multi-site contracts are quoted on request.
Can you clean outside office hours?
Many offices prefer cleaning before staff arrive or after they leave. Our phones are answered Monday to Friday 09:00-18:00 and Saturday 09:00-14:00, so ask about early or evening slots when you book. Agree in writing who holds keys and how the alarm is set.
Who supplies toilet roll, soap and bin liners?
Most offices buy their own consumables and keep them in a store cupboard. Ask whether the cleaner restocks dispensers each visit and from where, who tells your office contact when stock runs low, and whether supplies can be provided instead. Put the answers in the scope, including how supplies are charged.
Do you handle confidential waste?
No. Confidential waste belongs with your shredding contractor, so locked consoles and confidential bags should be left untouched. Agree that cleaners empty general and recycling bins only. A clear-desk policy helps too: cleaners then wipe cleared desks and leave any papers where they are.
How do I book?
Call 01 230 8646 or send the quote form with the service and your area. We reply with a price, usually by phone, and confirm the day and access arrangements before the team arrives.
