How do professional cleaners clean large office windows in Nairobi?

Large commercial glass facades in Nairobi’s CBD, Westlands, and Upper Hill require specialist equipment and techniques far beyond what a standard window cleaning service provides.

Equipment Used for Commercial Window Cleaning in Nairobi

Water-Fed Pole Systems (Low to Mid-Rise)

For buildings up to approximately 30m (8–10 floors), Bestcare uses carbon-fibre water-fed poles that extend telescopically. Purified, deionised water is fed through the pole to a soft brush head at the tip. Deionised water has no mineral content — it leaves no marks as it dries, unlike Nairobi’s hard tap water.

Rope Access (High-Rise)

For buildings above 10 floors, Bestcare deploys IRATA-certified rope access technicians. These trained professionals descend building facades on certified rigging systems, cleaning windows at heights up to 30+ floors. Rope access is safer and more cost-effective than scaffolding.

Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWP)

For buildings with accessible surrounds, scissor lifts or cherry pickers provide a stable working platform for mid-rise exterior glass cleaning.

Nairobi’s Specific Challenges

  • Construction dust from Nairobi’s constant development heavily soils glass facades
  • Bird droppings, particularly on buildings near tree lines in Upper Hill and Westlands
  • Seasonal dust from dry months requires more frequent cleaning
