Franchise

The cleaning industry in Kenya is rapidly evolving, and carpet cleaning has emerged as one of the most in-demand services across homes, offices, hotels, schools, and even public transport. Whether you currently run a small car wash, an independent cleaning company, or you’re just beginning to explore business opportunities in Kenya, there’s one truth that’s hard to ignore:

Kenyans want clean spaces — and they are willing to pay for it.

But even with the growing demand, many carpet cleaning businesses are struggling to grow due to inconsistent branding, poor customer retention, lack of marketing, or inadequate equipment.

How to Grow or Start Carpet Cleaning Business Through a Kejani Franchise

That’s where Kejani Cleaning Services Limited steps in with a cleaning franchise model designed to help ambitious entrepreneurs dominate the carpet cleaning market across Kenya and beyond.


Why Carpet Cleaning Is a High-Potential Business in Kenya

Kenya’s urbanization rate is one of the highest in Africa. People are moving into apartments and office buildings faster than ever, and most of these spaces are fitted with carpets, area rugs, sofas, curtains, and mattresses that require regular professional cleaning.

Here’s what makes the business appealing:

  • ๐Ÿ  Recurring Need – Carpets and upholstery need cleaning every 3–6 months.

  • ๐Ÿงฝ Low Operational Costs – Once you have your machines, detergents, and transport, your cost of service delivery remains manageable.

  • ๐Ÿ’ธ High Profit Margins – On average, carpet cleaning charges range from KES 200 to KES 500 per square meter, depending on location and stain severity.

  • ๐Ÿงผ Value-added Services – You can expand into sofa cleaning, mattress cleaning, vehicle upholstery cleaning, and curtain cleaning.


The Challenge: Why Most Carpet Cleaning Businesses Struggle

If you already run a car wash or a small cleaning company, you may have tried offering carpet cleaning but struggled with:

  • โŒ Low brand visibility

  • โŒ Inconsistent results

  • โŒ Customer distrust or price sensitivity

  • โŒ Outdated or poor-quality equipment

  • โŒ Limited digital marketing knowledge

  • โŒ Lack of structured pricing or SOPs

  • โŒ High staff turnover and poor training

This is why joining a structured franchise like Kejani Cleaning Services Limited could be your best decision yet.
