It All Started With A Cheap Red Van...

The Cleaning Experts was started by me, David Fitzmaurice. I began my cleaning business journey back in 2017 when I had an urge to do my own thing.

With very little money I had saved, I bought some window cleaning equipment and a cheap red van for €1500. I still think that red Renault Master van was the BEST purchase I ever made. It gave me no problems for 3 years which allowed me to re-invest the money I made back into the business and helped me get better equipment.

I grew this business over a period of a few years. The business was doing very well but I always felt I was offering too much services and I was getting run ragged.

Customers would ask me to put them into the calendar for 3 months times and I'd be like yeah no problem - then I'd get so busy doing all the services I provided that I wouldn't call back!

This business was Showpiece, which is still around today in Limerick and I know the owner very well.

I re-started with The Cleaning Experts as I saw there was a need for a re-occuring window cleaning service where we actually show up on time and when we say we will. All the stuff I was doing wrong with Showpiece is what I wanted to change with The Cleaning Experts.

I noticed a large divide and gap in the window cleaning industry.

At one end large companies serviced just commercial property but at the other end, the residential customer was only being served by one-man bands that often weren’t offering a very good level of service.

For example, not cleaning frames and sills, turning up as and when they want, insisting on being paid cash collected from the doorstep and being generally uncontactable by the client.

Our mission is to operate like a large commercial business but serve the residential customer, meaning we have proper procedures and systems in place to deliver an unmatched level of service to our clients.
