Why Kilimani clients book move-in & move-out cleaning
Apartments in Kilimani change hands often, and landlords and agents here tend to inspect units closely. Grease on kitchen hoods, scale on shower screens and marks on walls are the kinds of things that come up at handover.
We clean empty apartments from top to bottom, including cabinets, wardrobes, kitchens, bathrooms, interior glass and floors. If you are moving in, we can get the apartment ready before your furniture arrives, so you can start fresh.
Give us your handover date as early as you can, and tell your caretaker about the visit. A few photos are usually enough for us to give you a clear quotation.

Kilimani buildings usually have a caretaker or concierge and rules about service access, so please let them know about our visit. Construction and traffic around Yaya and Ngong Road can slow things down, and that is why we confirm your arrival window beforehand. Tell us about water supply days if your block relies on storage.
Why use a professional in Kilimani
Previous occupants leave more behind than you would expect, including grease inside cabinets, residue in drawers and dust behind fittings. For someone moving out, a professional clean helps present the property well and reduces the risk of disputes over its condition at the end of a tenancy. For someone moving in, it provides real peace of mind. Your lease decides what is expected, so read it, but a well-cleaned property is always a stronger position to be in.
How to prepare for the visit
- Book early and share your deadline
- Remove your belongings where possible
- Confirm water and electricity are on
- Arrange keys and caretaker access
How we plan a clean in your home
Every household in Nairobi and Thika runs differently, so we start by asking who uses the space and what matters most to you. A family with small children may want the kitchen and bathrooms put first, while a working tenant may simply want a fresh home to return to. We confirm which rooms are in scope, whether we should bring cleaning supplies, and how we will get access if you are at work. Items that need special care, such as delicate finishes or valuables, are best put away or pointed out before we begin. That short conversation is what keeps move-in & move-out cleaning predictable, with no surprises on the day. After the visit, tell us what you would like done differently and we can adjust the next one.
What to expect on the day
On the day, our team arrives at the agreed time, confirms the plan with you or your representative, and starts with the areas that matter most. Please point out anything fragile, and tell us about pets or anyone at home who is sensitive to strong smells. We work through the home in a set order, so that clean rooms stay clean. Before leaving, we go through the agreed list. If you notice something that was missed, tell us as soon as possible so that we can look at it. Your feedback helps us to get the next visit right, and it allows us to adjust the plan as your household changes.
