Pricing Factors
Home cleaning costs in Nairobi vary based on home size, measured in bedrooms or square footage, with rates from KSh 6/sqft for occupied spaces rising to KSh 10/sqft for deep cleans. Location affects charges—free in CBD, but traffic-heavy zones like Westlands add 500–1,500 KSh for fuel and time. Condition matters: heavy grime or pet hair extends labor, hiking fees by 20–50%.
Service type shifts baselines—standard dusting runs lower than deep sanitization targeting mold in humid weather. Eco-friendly options, using plant-based products, add 300–1,000 KSh but appeal to health-conscious families.
