What each company is known for
O'La-Kleen Nigeria Limited
The elder statesman of Nigerian cleaning. Over 38 years in business, headquartered in Victoria Island with reach across the country, and a client list heavy with corporations that need one janitorial vendor in many cities. Their range runs from office cleaning and steam carpet care to floor restoration, pest control, and gardening. If you are a national organization standardizing facility services, they belong on your shortlist.
QMclean
A Lagos operation covering the Island and Mainland with listed coverage of Abuja and Port Harcourt. Residential and commercial cleaning, janitorial contracts, carpet care, pest control, and post-construction work, often with promotional pricing on residential cleans. A practical choice for Lagos households and offices.
Palmacedar Cleaning Limited
A Lagos janitorial and general cleaning company with a solid reputation in office and facility work. Frequently named among the capital's dependable operators for scheduled commercial cleaning.
Igoclean Services
One of Port Harcourt's established names: house and apartment cleaning, office janitorial work, industrial and post-construction cleaning, exterior washing, and pest control, with consistently positive client feedback on timeliness.
Oxygen Wash
That is us, so here is the claim we will defend anywhere: we are Port Harcourt specialists, born in Trans Amadi as an industrial cleaning and laundry group. Every job runs on a written scope and a fixed quote, industrial work runs on method statements with HSE compliance, and no job ends until the client walks through and signs off. Homes, factories, offices, sofas, compounds, pests, laundry: one company, one standard.
How to choose, whoever you choose
Apply this five-point test to any cleaning company in Nigeria, including us:
- Written scope. If what is included lives only in a phone call, disputes are guaranteed.
- Fixed price before work starts. Quotes that firm up on arrival always firm upward.
- Named supervision. Ask who is responsible on the day, by name.
- Real equipment. Deep extraction, pressure systems, and industrial chemistry separate companies from crews with mops.
- A defined ending. The best companies end jobs with an inspection against the scope, not with a quiet exit.
Any company that passes all five is worth hiring. In Port Harcourt, we make passing that test our entire business model. Compare us directly with the market on our comparison pages, or send photos of your space to Oxygen Wash on WhatsApp and watch the five-point test in action.
