Factors That Affect Post Construction Cleaning Rates in Kenya
1. Size of the Property
The bigger the space, the higher the cost—though larger spaces may benefit from discounted rates per square foot.
2. Level of Dirt and Debris
Some sites may only require dusting and mopping, while others need:
Cement or paint splatter removal
Cleaning of fixtures and fittings
Debris hauling
Deep cleaning of floors and walls
3. Location
Post construction cleaning rates in Nairobi may differ from those in towns like Nakuru, Mombasa, or Kisumu due to logistics, traffic, or availability of labor.
4. Scope of Work
Standard post construction cleaning includes:
Floor scrubbing or polishing
Window and glass cleaning
Fixture & switch cleaning
Wall spot removal
Cabinet and surface wiping
Bathroom & toilet sanitization
Optional services that may add cost:
Exterior pressure washing
Debris disposal or skip hire
Ceiling cleaning
Tile grout restoration
5. Type of Property
Cleaning a tiled apartment differs from cleaning a high-end commercial space with gypsum ceilings, polished concrete floors, and custom cabinetry.
