How do cleaning companies in Nairobi price their services?
Understanding how Nairobi cleaning companies calculate their prices helps you assess quotes and ensure you’re getting fair value.
Common Pricing Models
Per-Session Flat Rate
Most common for domestic cleaning. A fixed price per visit based on property size and service type. Simple and predictable for clients.
Per Square Metre
Used for commercial cleaning and post-construction. Calculated by measuring the total floor area. Nairobi commercial cleaning rates: KSh 30–80/m² for standard cleaning; KSh 100–200/m² for post-construction.
Hourly Rate
Some companies quote KSh 500–1,500 per cleaner per hour. Less predictable as scope can expand. Bestcare typically uses fixed-price quotes to avoid surprises.
Monthly Retainer
For recurring commercial contracts, a fixed monthly fee covering all agreed services. Simplifies budgeting for businesses.
Factors That Affect the Final Price
- Property size and number of rooms
- Current condition — a neglected property costs more to clean initially
- Specific services included — window cleaning, carpet extraction, oven cleaning add to the base price
- Location — distant suburbs may incur a travel surcharge
- Frequency — recurring clients receive 10–20% discounts
- Time of day — weekend or after-hours service may carry a premium with some companies (not Bestcare)
