Understanding the Office Cleaning Challenge
Modern office spaces present unique cleaning challenges that require professional expertise and systematic approaches. Unlike residential cleaning, offices deal with high foot traffic, shared workspaces, communal facilities, and diverse surface types ranging from carpets and hardwood floors to glass partitions and electronic equipment. At Cleaner-Kenya, we've refined our contractual office cleaning process over years of experience serving businesses across Nairobi and throughout Kenya.
Our approach recognizes that a clean office is more than just aesthetically pleasing. It's a fundamental component of workplace health, safety, and productivity. Studies have consistently shown that clean work environments reduce sick days, improve employee morale, and enhance the professional image of your business. This is why we've developed a comprehensive, repeatable process that delivers exceptional results every single time.
The Seven-Step Cleaning Process
Step 1: Initial Assessment and Planning (15-20 minutes)
Before any cleaning begins, our team conducts a thorough walkthrough of your office space. This assessment identifies high-traffic areas, special cleaning requirements, and any specific concerns you've communicated. We check for areas that need extra attention, note the condition of various surfaces, and plan our cleaning route to maximize efficiency while minimizing disruption.
During this phase, we also verify that all necessary supplies and equipment are on-site and in working order. This preparatory step is crucial for ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted cleaning session.
Step 2: Decluttering and Organization (20-30 minutes)
Professional cleaning begins with proper organization. Our team carefully arranges items on desks, conference tables, and common areas to facilitate thorough cleaning. We follow strict protocols to respect personal workspace boundaries while ensuring every surface can be properly cleaned. Items are never moved without purpose, and everything is returned to its original position after cleaning.
This phase also includes emptying all waste bins, removing trash bags, and replacing them with fresh liners. Recycling bins are handled separately to maintain your office's sustainability practices.
Step 3: Dusting and Surface Cleaning (45-60 minutes)
Working from top to bottom, our team systematically dusts all surfaces including desks, shelves, window sills, light fixtures, and decorative items. We use microfiber cloths and appropriate cleaning solutions that capture dust rather than simply redistributing it into the air. Special attention is paid to frequently touched surfaces such as door handles, light switches, keyboards, and phones, which are sanitized to reduce the spread of germs.
Computer monitors, printers, and other electronic equipment receive careful attention using specialized cleaning products that won't damage sensitive electronics. Glass surfaces, including windows and partitions, are cleaned to a streak-free shine using professional-grade glass cleaners.
Step 4: Floor Care (60-90 minutes)
Floor cleaning is often the most time-intensive phase of office cleaning, and rightfully so, as floors are the most visible and most heavily used surfaces in any office. Our approach varies depending on the flooring type:
For carpeted areas, we begin with thorough vacuuming using commercial-grade vacuum cleaners equipped with HEPA filters. High-traffic zones and areas under desks receive extra attention. Spot cleaning addresses any stains or spills, and periodic deep cleaning ensures carpets maintain their appearance and hygiene.
Hard floors, whether tile, vinyl, or hardwood, are swept or dust-mopped first to remove loose debris, then mopped using appropriate cleaning solutions. We use different cleaning methods for different floor types to ensure optimal cleaning without damage. Floor edges and corners receive special attention as these areas tend to accumulate dirt and dust.
Step 5: Restroom Sanitization (30-45 minutes)
Office restrooms require meticulous attention to detail and rigorous sanitization protocols. Our team cleans and disinfects all toilets, urinals, sinks, and fixtures using hospital-grade disinfectants. Mirrors are cleaned to a streak-free finish, and all surfaces including partitions, door handles, and dispensers are thoroughly sanitized.
We restock soap dispensers, paper towels, and toilet paper as needed, and ensure all restroom fixtures are functioning properly. Floor mopping with disinfectant completes the restroom cleaning process, leaving facilities fresh, hygienic, and welcoming.
Step 6: Kitchen and Break Room Cleaning (20-30 minutes)
Communal eating areas require special attention due to food preparation and consumption. We clean and sanitize all countertops, tables, and chairs. Microwave ovens, refrigerators (exterior), and coffee makers receive thorough cleaning. Sinks are scrubbed and sanitized, and dishes left in the sink are addressed according to your company's policies.
Floors in these areas are swept and mopped, paying particular attention to areas around trash bins where spills commonly occur. All surfaces that come into contact with food are sanitized to prevent cross-contamination and ensure food safety.
Step 7: Final Inspection and Touch-Ups (10-15 minutes)
Before completing the cleaning session, our team leader conducts a comprehensive walk-through to ensure all tasks have been completed to our exacting standards. Any areas requiring additional attention receive immediate touch-ups. Lights are turned off or on according to your preferences, doors are secured, and any special instructions you've provided are verified as complete.
This quality control step ensures consistent results and addresses any issues before our team departs, maintaining the high standards Cleaner-Kenya is known for throughout Nairobi and Kenya.

Duration and Scheduling
The duration of office cleaning services varies based on several factors including office size, layout, number of employees, and specific cleaning requirements. At Cleaner-Kenya, we've established general timeframes that help clients understand what to expect from their contractual cleaning services.
For a standard medium-sized office (approximately 2,000-3,000 square feet with 20-30 workstations), a comprehensive cleaning session typically takes between 3 to 4 hours. Smaller offices of 1,000 square feet or less may require 2 to 2.5 hours, while larger corporate spaces exceeding 5,000 square feet may need 5 to 6 hours or more.
These timeframes can be adjusted based on cleaning frequency. Offices cleaned daily require less time per session since maintenance cleaning is less intensive than weekly or bi-weekly deep cleaning. For instance, a daily cleaning might focus more on high-traffic areas and restrooms, taking 2-3 hours, while a weekly cleaning would include more comprehensive tasks requiring 4-5 hours.
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your business operations. Many of our clients prefer after-hours cleaning between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM or early morning sessions from 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM. Weekend cleaning is also available for businesses that want minimal disruption. For 24-hour operations, we can arrange daytime cleaning schedules that work around peak business hours.
Quality Assurance and Client Communication
At Cleaner-Kenya, we believe that excellent service extends beyond the physical cleaning process. Our contractual arrangements include regular quality assessments, open communication channels, and responsive customer service. Clients receive detailed cleaning checklists, and we encourage feedback to continuously improve our services.
We maintain detailed logs of each cleaning session, documenting any issues encountered, supplies used, and special tasks completed. This documentation ensures accountability and helps us maintain consistent service quality across all visits. Supervisory staff conduct periodic inspections to verify that our teams maintain the high standards we promise.
