Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning by Macky Group in Nairobi

Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning in Nairobi

Moving into a new home or preparing one for handover? We clean floors, bathrooms, kitchens, cabinets, windows and other accessible areas so the property is ready.

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning tailored to your space

Moving is stressful enough without having to scrub a kitchen at midnight. A move-in clean means you unpack into a fresh home, with cabinets you are happy to put food in and bathrooms you are comfortable using from the first day. A move-out clean helps you leave the property in the condition expected at handover, which matters when an inspection and a deposit are involved.

We work with tenants, homeowners, landlords, property managers and real estate agents across Nairobi and Thika. Empty properties are the ideal time for a thorough clean, as every cabinet, corner and floor can be reached. Our team focuses on removing accumulated dirt, cleaning fittings, scrubbing surfaces and refreshing the entire property.

Timing matters with moves, so tell us your handover or moving date early. If possible, schedule the clean for after your furniture has left, or before it arrives, and when water and electricity are connected.

What our move-in & move-out cleaning service includes

  • Cleaning floors and scrubbing tiles
  • Kitchen surfaces, cabinets inside and out
  • Bathroom and toilet deep cleaning
  • Interior windows and accessible glass
  • Doors, frames and skirting boards
  • Wardrobes and shelves
  • Removing accumulated dirt and marks from suitable surfaces

The exact scope depends on your property and is confirmed in your quotation.

How the work is carried out

  1. Share your dates. We plan around your handover or moving day
  2. Inspect the property. Photos or a visit help us see what needs the most attention
  3. Clean inside storage. Cabinets, wardrobes and shelves are emptied of dust and residue
  4. Scrub wet areas. Kitchens and bathrooms get a detailed clean
  5. Floors and final check. Floors are finished last, ready for keys or furniture

Why it is worth using a professional

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.

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning in Nairobi and Thika

Rental turnover is high around Thika, Juja and Ruiru, where tenants and students change with the academic calendar, and in fast-moving apartment markets such as Kilimani and Ruaka. Landlords in these areas often need a unit cleaned quickly between tenants. New buyers in estates along the Thika Superhighway and Mombasa Road also need builders' dust removed before moving in, which we cover under post-construction cleaning.

What affects your quotation

We price by scope of work, so your quote reflects your actual job. The main factors are:

  • Size of the property
  • Whether it is empty or furnished
  • Condition and time since last cleaned
  • Add-ons such as carpets, curtains or windows

How to prepare

  • Book early and share your deadline
  • Remove your belongings where possible
  • Confirm water and electricity are on
  • Arrange keys and caretaker access

Keeping the results between visits

Take dated photos when you move in and again when you move out, as they are useful during any handover conversation. Check your lease to see what condition is expected, and report any repairs separately, because cleaning cannot fix broken fittings or damaged paint. Remove wall hooks and tape carefully to avoid marks. After you settle into a new home, change the shower head filter if there is one, run the taps and flush the drains, and air out wardrobes before you hang your clothes. If you are a landlord, keeping a simple handover checklist makes it easy to compare a unit's condition between tenants.

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.

Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning questions

Will a move-out clean help me get my deposit back?

A clean property helps at inspection, but deposit decisions rest with your landlord and lease. We cannot guarantee a refund.

Should I clean before or after moving my furniture?

It is best done with the property empty, so that all areas can be reached.

Do you clean inside kitchen cabinets?

Yes. Inside cabinets can be included for move-in and move-out cleaning where agreed.

Can agents and landlords book for tenants?

Yes. We work with landlords, property managers and real estate agents.

Do you clean after a new build?

Yes. Newly built homes usually need post-construction cleaning to remove dust, paint marks and residue.
