50 – 150 Ksh per m² as a one‑time charge.

Internal and external office windows (per building or per floor) – 2,000 – 10,000 per session, scaling with number of windows and height.
What affects Nairobi office‑cleaning prices
Key factors that push a quote higher or lower include:
-
Office size and layout (open‑plan vs. many rooms).
-
Frequency (daily vs. weekly vs. monthly contracts).
-
Type of flooring (non‑carpeted vs. wall‑to‑wall carpet).
-
Special requirements such as disinfection, post‑construction, or move‑in/move‑out cleaning.
For budgeting, many Nairobi businesses plan Ksh 5,000–20,000 per month for small offices and Ksh 20,000–80,000+ per month for medium‑to‑large offices under regular cleaning contracts, with deep‑clean and special‑service sessions billed separately
