Floor Scrubbing & Polishing tailored to your space
Floors take more punishment than any other surface in a building. Daily mopping removes loose dirt, but it does not touch the layer of grime that builds up over time, and a dull floor can make a whole room look tired. Scrubbing and polishing bring a surface back to life.
We offer floor cleaning for ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, terrazzo floors, marble surfaces, vinyl flooring, concrete floors and other compatible materials. Our services include scrubbing, stain treatment, polishing and general floor maintenance, depending on the material.
Terrazzo is very common in older Nairobi buildings and it responds well to proper care, while marble needs gentler treatment because acidic products can etch it. We identify your floor first, and then we recommend a suitable approach for it.

Why it is worth using a professional
Floor care depends on matching the method to the material. Using the wrong chemical or pad can leave scratches or dull patches that cost much more to repair than the clean itself. A professional scrub also reaches edges and corners that regular mopping misses.
Floor Scrubbing & Polishing in Nairobi and Thika
Many apartments in Parklands, South C and Eastlands have original terrazzo that responds well to restoration, while newer homes in Runda, Karen and Kitengela use porcelain and marble. Red soil and construction dust make Nairobi floors dull quickly. Businesses often plan floor polishing around public holidays, when premises are empty and floors can be closed off.

How to prepare

Keeping the results between visits
Floors stay polished for longer when grit is kept off them. Sweep or dust-mop before you mop, because wet grit acts like sandpaper. Use a pH-neutral cleaner on stone and polished floors, and avoid vinegar, lemon or bleach on marble and terrazzo. Change mop water often, as dirty water just spreads a dull film. Fit felt pads under furniture, and lift heavy items rather than dragging them. Use mats at entrances, and wipe up spills quickly, especially acidic ones such as juice, which can etch stone. In offices and shops, a programme of regular maintenance is cheaper than having to restore a floor that has been allowed to deteriorate.
How we choose the right method
Specialized cleaning starts with looking at the item or surface, because the wrong product or too much water can do more harm than the dirt itself. We ask what the material is, how old it is, what caused any marks and what has already been tried on them. Photos sent by WhatsApp are often enough to give a useful first answer, and larger jobs can be assessed on site. Where a manufacturer has given care instructions, we follow them. It also helps to be honest about limits: some old stains, sun damage and worn surfaces can be improved but not fully reversed, so we explain what result is realistic for your floor scrubbing & polishing before work begins.
What to expect on the day
On the day, we start by checking the item or surface with you and confirming what was agreed. The area is prepared, and nearby furniture and fittings are protected or moved where necessary. We work through the agreed method and check progress along the way, particularly on stains and delicate materials. Afterwards, we show you the result and explain any drying time or care instructions. Please follow this advice before using the item or walking on the surface, because it protects the finish and gives you the best result. If a mark remains, we will explain why, and what further options may be available.
