CleanLease

What CleanLease does

CleanLease is a Netherlands-based, privately held industrial textile-services company founded in 1923 that rents, cleans, and manages high-quality linen, workwear, and specialty textiles for institutional customers. It is organized into three service divisions — Care (residential care and personal laundry), Cure (healthcare, including workwear, rental linen, and OK services), and Leisure (vacation parks and hospitality) — and operates more than 25 branches across the Netherlands and Belgium, with headquarters in Koudekerk aan den Rijn and a regional headquarters in Oedelem (Beernem), Belgium.

The company's product portfolio comprises bundled recurring services (Huurlinnen rental linen, Gordijnenservice curtain service, Linnenkamerservice linen-room management, Persoonsgebonden wasgoed personal laundry, Dienstkleding workwear, OK-diensten operating-room textile services, and Wasservice), two specialized branded product lines (Skincair for sensitive-skin comfort and prevention; Groene OK for sustainable operating-room textiles), and the Mijn Waslijn customer portal for account and order management. Service delivery is sales-led and B2B, with dedicated field service advisors, quote-based pricing tailored to customer scale, and recurring subscription-style contracts that include pickup, industrial cleaning, and delivery.

CleanLease holds ISO 26000 social-responsibility certification, PSO 30+ (Prestatieladder Socialer Ondernemen) for inclusive employment, and a five-star rating in the Dutch MVO Register, and aligns its sustainability program with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It employs 1,001–5,000 people, has no disclosed parent company or external institutional shareholders, and has no recorded funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership transitions in the available source material beyond a named CFO, Hans van Dam. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on headcount and European industrial-laundry productivity benchmarks, the most defensible estimate is in the $100M–$250M range with low confidence.
