House Cleaning in Nairobi
What is different about house cleaning here
End-of-tenancy cleaning is the most-posted cleaning job in Nairobi, and it is the one with a standard attached to it: the landlord's, not yours. Find out what is actually being inspected — usually the oven, the extractor, inside cupboards, windows and bathroom grout — and put that in the post, because those are the items that decide a deposit.
In gated estates and apartment blocks, access is a real constraint. Cleaners need to be signed in at the gate, some blocks restrict working hours, and a lift that is booked out changes the day. Mention it up front.

What people post
House Cleaning jobs posted in Nairobi
Every one of these can be posted as a one-off job to Nairobi providers.
- Deep cleaning a house, flat or single room
- Move-in and move-out cleans, including end of tenancy
- Regular weekly or fortnightly visits
- Sofa, mattress and carpet cleaning
- Post-construction and post-renovation clean-ups

Writing the request
What to include so the offers come back usable
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms, or rough floor area
- Whether it is a one-off or you want somebody regular
- Whether the place is furnished and occupied, or empty
- Who supplies detergents, mops and a vacuum
- Anything that needs special handling: a stained sofa, a greasy extractor, a pet
What moves the price
Why two quotes for the same job differ
- Size of the property and the number of bathrooms
- How long since it was last cleaned properly
- One-off deep clean against a regular visit — regular work is usually cheaper per visit
- Whether products and equipment are included
- Extras like sofas, carpets, curtains and windows
Help24 does not publish price ranges for house cleaning. Quotes come from the cleaners themselves, and the number you agree is the number the payment is held against.
Before work starts
What to check with a cleaner
- Agree exactly what is included: a deep clean that excludes the oven and the windows should say so
- Be clear about hours — some cleaners quote a job, others quote a day
- For somebody who will come regularly, meet them on the first visit and check identification
- For a move-out clean, agree what standard the landlord is expecting before, not after
How Help24 works
Posting a house cleaning job
Describe the job
Say what needs doing and where you are. Posting is free, and you are not committing to anything by posting.
Nearby cleaners send offers
Providers near you quote their own price. Nobody is assigned to you — you see the offers and you choose.
Agree the price first
Nothing starts until you have accepted an offer. The number you agree is the number that gets held.
Pay by M-Pesa, released when it's done
Help24 holds the payment while the work happens. The provider can see it is there; neither side can move it until you confirm the job is finished.
