When booking a cleaning service in Kenya, many clients ask:
“What’s the difference between deep cleaning and general cleaning?”
Both are essential — but they serve different purposes.
At Ella Cleaning & Pest Control Services, we offer both options, depending on your home’s condition, your schedule, and your hygiene goals.
Let’s break down the differences, prices, and when to choose each service.
What Is General Cleaning?
General cleaning (also called regular cleaning) focuses on surface-level cleaning to maintain basic cleanliness.
It’s ideal for homes that are cleaned often or offices with routine maintenance.
✅ Includes:
- Sweeping and mopping floors
- Dusting furniture and surfaces
- Wiping tables and countertops
- Cleaning bathrooms and toilets
- Emptying bins and changing liners
- Arranging rooms neatly
Recommended Frequency:
Every 1 to 2 weeks (or daily for offices)
Average Price in Nairobi (Ella Cleaning):

| 4 Bedroom | 15,000 – 20,000 |
| 5 Bedroom | 20,000 – 25,000 |
What Is Deep Cleaning?
Deep cleaning goes beyond the visible — it removes hidden dirt, grease, and bacteria from hard-to-reach areas like under furniture, inside cabinets, behind appliances, and ceiling corners.
It’s perfect for seasonal cleaning, move-in/move-out, after fumigation, or when your home needs a complete refresh.
✅ Includes Everything in General Cleaning PLUS:
- Cleaning under and behind furniture
- Scrubbing bathroom tiles and grout
- Washing walls and ceilings (where needed)
- Polishing windows, doors, and curtain rails
- Cleaning kitchen cabinets, fridge, and oven
- Vacuuming sofas, mattresses, and carpets
- Disinfecting and deodorizing all rooms
🕓 Recommended Frequency:
Every 3–6 months
