Factors That Affect Post Construction Cleaning Rates in Kenya

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
