Cleaning cost guide · priced after assessment
This guide explains the cleaning cost in Kenya for homes, offices, carpets, sofas and specialist jobs. Rather than listing prices, it shows why we price every clean after assessing it, the factors that shape your quote, how the price is agreed with you and practical ways to keep your cleaning cost down.
The first question most people ask a cleaning company is simple: how much will it cost? The honest answer is that it depends on the space, its condition and exactly what you want done. Two apartments of the same size can need very different amounts of work. Still, you deserve to understand how a price is built before you book. So this guide explains each factor, how we assess your job and how to compare cleaning quotes fairly.
Costs and pricing
A price list cannot see your kitchen, your carpets or the grout in your bathroom. For example, one family may book a weekly clean of a tidy two-bedroom flat, while another needs a first deep clean after months without one, with pets, heavy cooking and stained sofas. A fixed list would either overcharge the first family or undercharge the second, and then the price would change on the day. Therefore we price every clean after we have seen it. In short, the cleaning cost in Kenya you pay with us is based on your real job, not an average.

For homes, the biggest factors are the number of rooms, the condition and the type of clean. A regular clean keeps a tidy home fresh, so each visit is quick. In contrast, a deep clean reaches inside the oven, fridge and cupboards, scrubs grout and limescale and cleans high areas, so it takes much longer. Our guide to deep and regular cleaning explains the difference, and our house cleaning page shows what each visit covers.
For businesses, the cleaning cost in Kenya is set after a site visit. The main factors are floor area, staff numbers, washrooms, kitchens, opening hours and how often you want cleaning. We quote contracts with on-site cleaners per month, and one-off deep cleans per job. In addition, consumables such as soap and toilet paper can be supplied by you or by us. See our office cleaning and janitorial services pages for how contracts work.
Fabrics and furniture
For fabric and specialist jobs, the cleaning cost in Kenya depends on the item rather than the room. With carpets, size, pile and stains matter, while sofas depend on the number of seats and the fabric type. Similarly, water tanks depend on size, height and access, while fumigation depends on the pest, the size of the space and whether a second visit is needed. Therefore we ask for photos and a few details, then quote each job individually.

Two quotes with the same total can hide very different jobs, so compare the details rather than the total alone. Check the number of cleaners, the hours on site, the checklist for each room, whether products and equipment are included and what happens if something is missed. A lower total with half the time often means corners are cut. Our guide on how to choose a cleaning company lists the questions to ask.

A good written quote covers all of these. If something is unclear, ask before you book.
Not always. A very low price may mean one person for a job that needs two, no products, no machines or no supervision. As a result, the job takes longer, the finish is poor or you pay again for a second clean. So think about the total cost, including products, time and the quality of the result. The best value is a fair price from a trained, supervised team that finishes the job properly the first time.
One-off jobs are usually paid on completion, after you check the work, while regular plans and contracts are invoiced weekly or monthly. We accept M-Pesa and bank transfer and issue a receipt for every payment. Businesses can request an invoice in the company name. For guidance on safe mobile payments, see Safaricom. Always pay to the official company number or till.
Seasons change the cleaning cost in Kenya less than people expect, but they change availability. Demand for cleaners rises at month-end, when tenants move out, and in December, when families prepare for guests and events. School holidays are busy too, because schools book deep cleans. In contrast, mid-month weekdays are quieter. If your dates are flexible, tell us, and we will suggest the best slot for your budget and timing.
Here is how a typical quote comes together. Imagine a family in a three-bedroom house in Kileleshwa who want a first deep clean, plus a sofa and two rugs. They send photos of the kitchen, the bathrooms and the stains. First, we see heavy grease in the kitchen and limescale in two bathrooms. Next, we plan a team of three for most of a day, with an extraction machine for the fabrics. Then we send a written quote listing the checklist, the team and the extras, and we discuss it with the family. They decide to add the water tank on the same day, so the visit covers everything at once. Finally, we confirm the agreed price and the date in writing.

It depends on the size and condition of the space, the type of clean and any extras. We assess the job from photos or a visit, then agree the price with you in a written quote.
Because every space is different. Pricing after an assessment means you pay for your real job, and the price does not change on the day.
Yes. After the assessment, we talk through the quote and suggest ways to reduce the cost, such as a regular plan or combining services.
Yes. Our teams bring products, cloths and equipment, and the quote says so clearly.
