Move-out · move-in · end of tenancy
KejaPal offers move out cleaning in Nairobi so you can hand back the keys with confidence and get your deposit back. Our cleaners scrub kitchens, bathrooms, floors, windows and cupboards once the truck has gone, and we can clean your new home before you arrive.
Moving day is tiring enough without scrubbing an oven at midnight. Yet most landlords and agents in Nairobi inspect the house before they refund the deposit. A greasy cooker, dusty cupboards or stained tiles can cost you thousands of shillings. A professional clean the day you leave solves that problem.
This page explains what our move-out and move-in cleaning covers, how long it takes, what it costs and how to book it with your move.
Cleaning
Every clean follows a checklist, so nothing depends on memory. The list covers each room in turn.
Many homes in Nairobi are not fully cleaned before the next tenant arrives. Builders' dust, cockroach droppings and old grease are common. So it makes sense to clean the new place before the boxes arrive. A move-in clean covers the same checklist, and it lets you unpack into clean cupboards. When you book both, we send one team to the old home in the morning and the new home in the afternoon.
Prices depend on the size of the home, how dirty it is and any extras such as carpets or outside windows.
Carpet shampooing, sofa cleaning and pressure-washing outside areas can be added. If you add cleaning to a full house move, we price it as part of one quote.
Cleaning
Cleaning
Most tenancy agreements say the house must be returned in the same condition as at the start, apart from fair wear and tear. Dirt is not wear and tear. Therefore landlords often deduct cleaning costs from the deposit, sometimes at a high rate. In contrast, a documented professional clean makes deductions hard to justify. Take dated photos of each room after the clean, and keep the receipt. If a dispute arises, you have clear evidence.
Cleaning
Our cleaners bring their own detergents, degreasers, mops, buckets, cloths, scrapers and ladders. For bathrooms, we use descalers that lift hard-water marks from taps and tiles. For kitchens, we use degreasers that are safe on common worktops. If you or a family member has allergies, tell us when you book, and we will use mild, unscented products instead.
Landlords and property agents also use our service between tenants. A quick, thorough clean helps a unit let faster, because viewers notice fresh kitchens and bathrooms first. We can clean on short notice and send photos when we finish. For agents with several units, we can agree a regular rate per unit size. Likewise, we can also handle junk removal when a tenant leaves things behind.
Offices often have lease clauses that require a clean handover too. After our office movers clear the floor, the cleaning team removes dust from cable trays, wipes desks that stay, and cleans kitchens and washrooms. As a result, the landlord's inspection goes smoothly, and your company gets its deposit back faster.
Some homes need more than a standard clean. For example, a home with pets may need carpet shampooing and deodorising. A kitchen used heavily for frying may need a full degrease of walls and ceiling. Similarly, a house left empty for months may need cobwebs, dust and insect droppings removed from every surface. We can add these extras to your booking, and we will tell you the price before we start.
Our cleaners never mix bleach with acid-based cleaners, because the fumes are dangerous. They also open windows while they work and use gloves for strong products. If you want to know more about safe use of household chemicals, the Ministry of Health shares public health guidance. In practice, our team follows simple rules that keep both them and your home safe.
Booking movers and cleaners separately means two companies, two schedules and twice the phone calls. If the truck runs late, the cleaners wait and charge for it. When we handle both, the cleaners start the moment the truck leaves. In other words, there are no gaps and no finger-pointing. You also get one invoice and one contact for the whole day. That is the main reason clients choose our move out cleaning in Nairobi alongside the move.
Cleaning
Each of these is a common reason for deposit deductions. So our end of tenancy cleaning in Nairobi targets them first. If a mark will not come off, we tell you on the day, so you can decide whether to repair or touch up paint yourself.
A bedsitter takes about three hours, while a three-bedroom house takes most of a day. Homes left very dirty take longer. Therefore we send a bigger team when time is short, for example when the agent inspects the same evening. Tell us your deadline when you book, and we will plan the team size around it.
We clean homes and offices across Nairobi, including Westlands, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Lavington, South B, South C, Embakasi, Kasarani, Roysambu, Ruaka, Rongai and Syokimau. In addition, we serve Kiambu, Ruiru, Thika, Kitengela and Machakos. For other towns, ask us, because we can often send a team with the moving crew. See our service areas for the full list.
Moving out soon? Tell us the size of the home and your date, and we will send a fixed cleaning price, or one price for the move and the clean together.
Costs and pricing
We do not publish fixed prices for move out cleaning in Nairobi, because every job is different. Instead, we assess what you are moving, access at both ends and your date, then send a written quote. After that, we discuss it with you and agree the final price before the day. As a result, the price you agree for move out cleaning in Nairobi is based on your real move, and it only changes if the job changes. In addition, you can ask us to adjust the scope at any point before the day.

It depends on the size of the move, the distance, access such as stairs and lifts, and any packing or special items. We assess the job by survey or video call, then agree the final price with you in a written quote.
