KejaPal Cleaners offers carpet cleaning in Nairobi for homes, offices, hotels and churches. Our technicians pre-treat stains, then use hot-water extraction machines to lift deep dirt, dust mites and odours from rugs, fitted carpets and office carpet tiles, leaving them fresh and fast-drying.
Carpets hide dirt well, which is both good and bad. They look fine for months, while dust, sand, food crumbs, pet hair and skin flakes sink deep into the fibres. Then one day the colour looks dull, a smell appears or allergies flare up. Vacuuming removes surface dust, but it cannot reach what has settled at the base of the pile. That is where deep extraction cleaning makes the difference.
This page explains how our carpet cleaning works, which carpets and rugs we clean, how long drying takes and how to keep carpets fresh between cleans.

Delicate hand-made rugs, silk and antique pieces need gentler methods. We inspect them first and tell you honestly if a specialist rug cleaner is the better choice.
Most common household stains respond well to pre-treatment and extraction. For example, tea and coffee, soda, juice, mud, food spills, grease, ink, chocolate and pet accidents. However, some stains, such as bleach marks, dye transfers and very old stains, may only lighten rather than disappear, because the fibre colour has changed. The technician tests each stain and tells you what to expect before treating it.
Hot-water extraction removes most of the water, so carpets usually dry in four to eight hours. Drying is faster on warm, breezy days and slower in the rainy season or in rooms without airflow. Therefore we open windows, run fans or use air movers where possible. Meanwhile, you can walk on the carpet carefully in clean socks, but avoid putting furniture back until it is dry.
Traditional shampooing leaves soapy residue in the fibres. That residue attracts new dirt, so carpets get dirty again quickly. In contrast, extraction rinses the fibres and removes the solution along with the dirt. As a result, carpets stay clean for longer. In addition, extraction removes far more allergens, such as dust mite droppings, which matters for families with asthma or allergies.
Carpets act like a filter, trapping dust, pollen and allergens until they are removed. Regular vacuuming helps, but deep extraction cleaning every six to twelve months removes what vacuums leave behind. For people with asthma, a clean carpet can make a real difference. The World Health Organization highlights indoor air quality as a factor in respiratory health.
Office carpets suffer from coffee spills, chair-wheel wear and grey traffic lanes by doors and desks. So we clean office carpets over weekends or at night, section by section, and leave air movers running so floors are dry by Monday. For offices on a contract, we schedule extraction every three to six months, with spot cleaning in between. See our office cleaning page for daily services.
Large carpeted halls, hotel corridors and school libraries need cleaning on tight schedules. Our carpet cleaning in Nairobi teams bring several machines for large areas and work in sections, so part of the space stays usable. Churches often book us on Mondays after weekend services, while hotels book quiet periods between busy seasons.
Carpet Cleaning
Pet urine soaks through the carpet into the backing and underlay, which is why the smell returns after surface cleaning. To treat it, we use an enzyme product that breaks down the urine, followed by extraction. Old or repeated accidents may need several treatments. In severe cases, the underlay may need replacing. We will explain the options before we start.

Vacuum high-traffic areas at least twice a week, and the whole carpet weekly. Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth, without rubbing, which spreads stains. Use doormats at every entrance, because most carpet dirt comes in on shoes. Moreover, rotate rugs every few months to even out wear and sunlight fading. Finally, book a deep clean every six to twelve months, or every three months in busy homes with children and pets.
Carpet cleaning is only as good as the machine and the person using it. Our technicians use professional extraction machines, test products on each carpet and pre-treat stains properly. They also protect your floors and furniture while they work. Consequently, carpets come out cleaner, fresher and drier than with simple shampooing. That is why homes and offices book our carpet cleaning in Nairobi year after year.
Many people move into a rented home with fitted carpets that the last tenant used for years. Even if they look acceptable, they often hold dust, pet hair and odours from the previous household. Therefore a deep extraction clean before your furniture arrives is a smart first step. It is far easier to clean an empty room, and you start life in your new home on fresh carpets. Similarly, when you move out, a professional carpet clean helps you return the home in good condition and protects your deposit. Ask us to book carpet cleaning together with our move-in and move-out cleaning for one visit and one price.
In Nairobi, carpets suffer most in the rainy months, when mud and damp come in on shoes, and in the dry, dusty months, when fine red dust settles deep in the pile. As a result, many clients book carpet cleaning twice a year: after the long rains and before the December holidays. Moreover, booking before the festive season means carpets are fresh for visiting family and dry quickly in the warmer weather.
