One of the first things anyone looking into cleaning services in Nairobi or Kenya wants to know is what it’s actually going to cost. Pricing for cleaning companies in Nairobi varies more than people expect, depending on property size, condition, service type, and frequency. Below, we answer the questions we hear most often from people trying to understand cleaning services prices in Nairobi and Kenya before booking.
How much do cleaning services cost in Nairobi?
Pricing for cleaning services in Nairobi typically starts from around KSh 3,000 per session for basic routine cleaning of a one to two-bedroom home, rising to roughly KSh 6,000 for a standard deep clean of a three to four-bedroom property, and up to KSh 12,000 or more for premium services like post-construction cleaning or large commercial spaces. These figures are a general guide — your exact quote depends on your property’s specific size and condition.
Why do cleaning companies in Kenya charge different prices for similar-sized homes?
Two properties of the same size can require very different amounts of work. A home that’s been regularly maintained takes less time and fewer resources to clean than one that hasn’t been cleaned professionally in months. Factors like the number of bathrooms, whether you need appliance interiors cleaned, the condition of grout and surfaces, and any specialist treatment required (such as stain removal) all affect the final price.
Is a free quote actually free with Bestcare Cleaning Services?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all our services across Nairobi and Kenya. You can call or WhatsApp us with details about your property, and in most cases we can give you a clear price range immediately, with a final confirmed quote once we understand the full scope of work.
Do cleaning services in Nairobi charge hourly or per job?
Most cleaning companies in Nairobi, including Bestcare, price per job or per session rather than strictly hourly, since this gives you a predictable cost upfront rather than an open-ended bill. Larger commercial contracts may be priced differently, often as a fixed monthly or recurring rate based on the agreed scope of work.
Are there hidden fees with cleaning companies in Nairobi?
Reputable cleaning companies, including Bestcare, agree pricing with you before any work begins, so there should be no surprises on your invoice. We recommend always confirming exactly what’s included in your quote — cleaning products, equipment, and labour should typically all be covered in the agreed price unless otherwise specified.
Does the price change for recurring cleaning versus one-time cleaning?
Yes, typically recurring cleaning (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) costs less per session than a one-time deep clean, since routine maintenance cleaning requires less time than addressing months of accumulated dirt and grime in one visit. Many of our clients find a recurring schedule more cost-effective over time than booking one-off cleans repeatedly.
What payment methods do cleaning services in Kenya accept?
Most cleaning companies in Kenya, including Bestcare, accept M-Pesa, bank transfer, and cash payment. We recommend confirming accepted payment methods directly with your chosen provider before your appointment.
Do prices differ between Nairobi and other parts of Kenya?
Pricing can vary slightly depending on location, distance from the service provider’s base, and local market rates. Bestcare’s published pricing applies primarily to our core Nairobi coverage area, with adjusted quotes provided for locations further afield.
Is post-construction cleaning more expensive than regular house cleaning?
Yes, post-construction cleaning typically costs more than standard house cleaning because it involves removing construction dust, debris, paint splatter, and adhesive residue — work that requires more time, specialised equipment, and often a larger team than routine cleaning.
How can I get the most accurate price estimate for my property?
The best way to get an accurate quote is to share specific details about your property — number of rooms, bathrooms, approximate size, current condition, and the type of service you need — when you contact us. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend a brief site visit to assess the scope before confirming a final price.
