What Is a Professional Cleaning Company?

A professional cleaning company provides organised cleaning services using trained personnel, appropriate cleaning products, tools and equipment.

Unlike ordinary day-to-day cleaning, professional cleaning can involve specialised procedures for particular surfaces, fabrics and environments.

For example, the equipment and process required to clean a fabric sofa are different from those used to scrub a tiled commercial floor.

Similarly, post-construction cleaning requires a different approach from ordinary residential cleaning.

What Services Does a Professional Cleaning Company Provide?

Cleaning companies can offer residential, commercial and specialised cleaning services.

At Ella Cleaning Services, customers can book individual services or combine several services into one cleaning package.

Here are 25 professional cleaning services you can consider.

1. House Deep Cleaning Services

House deep cleaning is one of our major residential cleaning services.

It is designed for homes requiring more detailed cleaning than ordinary daily or weekly housekeeping.

What Does House Deep Cleaning Include?

Depending on the agreed scope, deep cleaning can include:

  • Kitchen cleaning
  • Bathroom cleaning
  • Toilet cleaning
  • Floor cleaning
  • Window cleaning
  • Door and frame cleaning
  • Cabinet cleaning
  • Skirting
  • Detailed dust removal
  • Hard-to-reach areas
  • Cleaning underneath movable furniture
  • Removal of accumulated dirt and grime

Who Needs House Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning can be useful when:

  • Your house hasn’t been professionally cleaned for a long time
  • You’re preparing for visitors
  • You’re moving into a house
  • You’re moving out
  • Routine cleaning isn’t producing the desired results
  • Kitchen grease has accumulated
  • Bathrooms require detailed cleaning
  • Floors need intensive cleaning

Ella Cleaning Services provides professional house deep cleaning in Nairobi and other parts of Kenya.

2. General House Cleaning Services

General house cleaning is suitable for properties requiring routine professional cleaning without the intensity of a complete deep clean.

Services can include:

  • Sweeping
  • Vacuuming
  • Mopping
  • Dusting
  • Surface cleaning
  • Bathroom cleaning
  • Toilet cleaning
  • Kitchen cleaning
  • Cobweb removal
  • General floor cleaning

How Much Does General House Cleaning Cost?

Our indicative residential cleaning ranges include:

2 Bedroom: KSh 12,000–15,000
3 Bedroom: KSh 15,000–20,000
4 Bedroom: KSh 25,000–40,000
5 Bedroom: KSh 30,000–60,000

Final prices depend on the size, condition, location and actual scope of work.

3. Sofa Set Cleaning Services

Sofas can accumulate dust, food particles, body oils, spills and general dirt.

Ordinary wiping doesn’t provide the same result as professional upholstery extraction.

Ella Cleaning Services provides professional sofa set cleaning for homes, offices, hotels and other premises.

How Do Professionals Clean Sofas?

Our process can include:

  • Upholstery inspection
  • Vacuuming
  • Pre-treatment
  • Spot treatment
  • Machine cleaning
  • Extraction
  • Professional drying assistance

How Much Is Sofa Cleaning?

Our standard sofa cleaning price starts from approximately:

KSh 500 per seater

Final pricing depends on the sofa’s size, design, fabric and condition.

How Long Does a Sofa Take to Dry?

Under favourable conditions and with professional extraction and drying equipment, many sofas can dry within approximately 1–2 hours.

Actual drying time varies according to fabric, ventilation, weather and cushion thickness.

4. Mattress Cleaning Services

Mattresses can accumulate dust, body oils, spills and general soiling over time.

Professional mattress cleaning provides more detailed cleaning than simply changing bedding or vacuuming the surface.

Professional Mattress Cleaning Process

Depending on mattress type and condition, the process can involve:

  • Inspection
  • Vacuuming
  • Pre-treatment
  • Spot treatment
  • Machine cleaning
  • Extraction
  • Drying assistance

How Long Does a Mattress Take to Dry?

Under favourable conditions, professional extraction and drying equipment can help many mattresses dry within approximately 1–2 hours, although some materials require longer.

5. Wall-to-Wall Carpet Cleaning

Wall-to-wall carpets require regular vacuuming and periodic professional cleaning.

Vacuuming removes loose debris, while professional carpet cleaning targets deeper accumulated dirt and staining.

Carpet Cleaning Can Include

  • Inspection
  • Vacuuming
  • Pre-treatment
  • Spot cleaning
  • Machine cleaning
  • Extraction
  • Drying

Ella Cleaning Services also uses professional carpet blowers where faster drying is required.

6. Loose Carpet and Rug Cleaning

Loose carpets and rugs can also accumulate dust, spills and stains.

The correct cleaning procedure depends on the carpet material, construction, colour stability and condition.

Our team assesses the item before selecting an appropriate cleaning method.

7. Office Cleaning Services

A clean office contributes to a more organised and presentable workplace.

Ella Cleaning Services provides professional office cleaning for businesses and organisations.

Office Cleaning Can Include

  • Workstation cleaning
  • Floor cleaning
  • Washroom cleaning
  • Kitchen cleaning
  • Reception cleaning
  • Dusting
  • Waste management
  • Carpet cleaning
  • Office chair cleaning
  • Sofa cleaning
  • Window cleaning

Daily Office Cleaning

Businesses requiring continuous cleaning can request regular cleaning arrangements.

One-Off Office Cleaning

Companies can also book one-time deep cleaning after renovations, events or periods of heavy use.

8. Office Chair Cleaning

Fabric office chairs can become dirty from constant use.

Frequently touched sections such as armrests, backs and seats may develop visible soiling over time.

Professional upholstery cleaning can help refresh office seating.

This service is suitable for:

  • Corporate offices
  • Schools
  • Conference rooms
  • Waiting areas
  • Hospitals and clinics where appropriate
  • Hotels
  • Churches
  • Training centres

9. Post-Construction Cleaning Services

Construction and renovation can leave significant amounts of dust and residue.

Post-construction cleaning is therefore different from ordinary house cleaning.

What Does Post-Construction Cleaning Remove?

Depending on the property, cleaning may address:

  • Construction dust
  • Paint marks
  • Cement residue
  • Adhesive residue
  • Packaging material
  • Floor dirt
  • Dust on windows
  • Dust on frames
  • Debris

Who Needs Post-Construction Cleaning?

This service is suitable for:

  • Newly built houses
  • Newly completed apartments
  • Renovated offices
  • Shops
  • Hotels
  • Schools
  • Commercial buildings
  • Newly renovated homes

10. Move-In Cleaning Services

Before moving into a new house, consider cleaning it while it is still empty.

Without furniture and boxes, cleaners have better access to:

  • Floors
  • Cabinets
  • Wardrobes
  • Windows
  • Bathrooms
  • Kitchen surfaces
  • Corners
  • Doors
  • Frames

Move-in cleaning is suitable for both rented and purchased properties.

11. Move-Out Cleaning Services

Move-out cleaning is performed after occupants remove their belongings.

It can be useful for:

  • Tenants
  • Landlords
  • Property managers
  • Airbnb operators
  • Property agents
  • Homeowners

The cleaning can prepare the property for inspection, viewing or the next occupant.

12. Kitchen Deep Cleaning

Kitchens can accumulate grease and food residue more quickly than many other areas of a home.

Professional kitchen deep cleaning can target areas that ordinary wiping may miss.

Kitchen Areas We Can Clean

Depending on the agreed scope:

  • Countertops
  • Sinks
  • Tiles
  • Cabinet surfaces
  • Accessible cupboard interiors
  • Floors
  • Doors
  • Windows
  • Grease-affected surfaces
  • Accessible appliance exteriors

13. Bathroom and Toilet Deep Cleaning

Bathrooms and toilets require regular hygiene maintenance.

Professional deep cleaning can concentrate on:

  • Toilets
  • Sinks
  • Showers
  • Bathtubs
  • Tiles
  • Floors
  • Mirrors
  • Glass
  • Doors
  • Corners
  • Fittings

This service can be booked as part of house cleaning or discussed as a separate cleaning assignment.

14. Window and Glass Cleaning Services

Clean windows can significantly improve the appearance of homes and commercial buildings.

Ella Cleaning Services provides window and glass cleaning according to accessibility and property requirements.

Window Cleaning Can Cover

  • Window glass
  • Frames
  • Accessible tracks
  • Interior-facing glass
  • Exterior-facing accessible glass
  • Glass doors
  • Office partitions

High-level or difficult-access glass requires separate assessment before quotation.

15. Machine Floor Scrubbing

Some floors remain dirty even after repeated mopping.

This can happen when dirt becomes embedded in textured surfaces, grout lines or heavily trafficked floors.

Professional machine scrubbing provides stronger mechanical cleaning.

Where Can Floor Scrubbing Be Used?

Depending on the floor material:

  • Homes
  • Offices
  • Schools
  • Shops
  • Hotels
  • Restaurants
  • Warehouses
  • Commercial buildings
  • Institutions

The correct pad and cleaning method should always be selected according to the floor.

16. Wooden Floor Cleaning, Waxing and Polishing

Wooden floors require appropriate care.

Using excessive water or unsuitable chemicals can damage some wood finishes.

Ella Cleaning Services provides professional wooden floor cleaning and, where appropriate, waxing and polishing.

Why Professional Wood Floor Care Matters

Different wooden floors can have different:

  • Finishes
  • Coatings
  • Age
  • Condition
  • Maintenance requirements

The floor should therefore be assessed before treatment.

17. Tile and Grout Cleaning

Tiles may appear relatively clean while grout lines gradually become darker.

Routine mopping doesn’t always remove deeply accumulated dirt.

Professional tile and grout cleaning can provide more detailed cleaning for appropriate tiled surfaces.

18. Pressure Washing Services

Pressure washing can be useful for appropriate outdoor and hard surfaces.

Possible applications include:

  • Paved areas
  • Certain exterior surfaces
  • Compounds
  • Appropriate floors
  • Selected outdoor areas

Pressure should always be adjusted according to the surface because excessive pressure can cause damage.

19. Steam Cleaning Services

Steam cleaning can be useful for appropriate cleaning applications and surfaces.

However, steam isn’t suitable for every material.

Our team considers the surface and cleaning requirement before using steam equipment.

Ella Cleaning Services also provides steam cleaners for hire, subject to availability.

20. Airbnb Cleaning Services

Short-stay properties require reliable cleaning between guests.

Airbnb cleaning can include:

  • Bedrooms
  • Bathrooms
  • Kitchen
  • Floors
  • Surfaces
  • Windows where required
  • General presentation

Periodic deep cleaning can also include:

  • Sofa cleaning
  • Mattress cleaning
  • Carpet cleaning
  • Areas underneath furniture
  • Detailed kitchen cleaning
  • Detailed bathroom cleaning

21. School Cleaning Services

Schools require cleaning plans that account for high daily traffic.

Ella Cleaning Services can provide cleaning solutions for:

  • Classrooms
  • Offices
  • Corridors
  • Washrooms
  • Staff rooms
  • Common areas
  • Floors
  • Windows
  • Other agreed facilities

Larger schools can request customised cleaning proposals based on the number of students, buildings and cleaners required.

22. Hotel and Hospitality Cleaning

Hotels, guest houses and hospitality properties need consistent standards because rooms and shared facilities are used by many guests.

Professional cleaning services can support:

  • Guest rooms
  • Common areas
  • Offices
  • Carpets
  • Sofas
  • Chairs
  • Floors
  • Windows
  • Periodic deep cleaning

The scope can be customised according to the facility.

We can serve:

  • Offices
  • Shops
  • Schools
  • Warehouses
  • Hotels
  • Churches
  • Institutions
  • Commercial buildings
  • Property managers

Services can be one-off, periodic or regular depending on requirements.

Not every customer needs a complete cleaning team.

If you already have cleaners but require professional equipment, Ella Cleaning Services also provides selected cleaning machines for hire.

Single-Disc Floor Scrubber

Approximately KSh 1,500 per day

What Equipment Does a Professional Cleaning Company Use?

Professional cleaning companies can use different machines according to the assignment.

At Ella Cleaning Services, equipment can include:

  • Wet and dry vacuum cleaners
  • Upholstery cleaning machines
  • Carpet extractors
  • Single-disc floor scrubbers
  • Carpet blowers
  • Air movers
  • Steam cleaners
  • Pressure washers
  • Professional cleaning tools

Why Does Professional Equipment Matter?

A machine should not be used simply because it is powerful.

The correct equipment should match:

  • Surface type
  • Fabric
  • Floor material
  • Dirt level
  • Cleaning method
  • Manufacturer guidance

Professional equipment can improve efficiency, extraction and drying when used correctly.

What Cleaning Products Do Professional Cleaners Use?

Cleaning products vary according to the surface and cleaning problem.

Professional cleaners may require different products for:

  • Floors
  • Bathrooms
  • Kitchens
  • Upholstery
  • Carpets
  • Glass
  • Grease
  • Stains

One chemical should never be assumed to be suitable for every surface.

Do Professional Cleaning Companies Bring Their Own Equipment?

For full-service assignments, Ella Cleaning Services can provide the equipment, tools and cleaning products required according to the agreed quotation.

Large commercial contracts may have different arrangements, which are agreed during quotation.

How Much Does a Professional Cleaning Company Charge in Kenya?

There is no single professional-cleaning price.

Cost depends on:

  • Property size
  • Cleaning service
  • Condition
  • Number of cleaners
  • Time required
  • Equipment
  • Cleaning products
  • Transportation
  • Location
  • Accessibility

Ella General House Cleaning Price Guide

4 Bedroom: approximately KSh 25,000–40,000

5 Bedroom: approximately KSh 30,000–60,000

These are indicative ranges.

The final quotation depends on the actual property and scope.

How Do I Get an Accurate Cleaning Quotation?

For residential cleaning, send us:

  • Your location
  • Number of bedrooms
  • Number of bathrooms
  • Cleaning service required
  • Photos
  • Short video where possible
  • Preferred cleaning date

For larger commercial projects, a site visit may be recommended.

Can I Get a Cleaning Quotation Through WhatsApp?

Yes.

Photos and videos can help us understand the property before preparing a quotation.

This is particularly useful for:

  • Sofa cleaning
  • Mattress cleaning
  • House cleaning
  • Carpet cleaning
  • Move-in cleaning
  • Move-out cleaning

Complex commercial and post-construction projects may require physical assessment.

What Should I Ask Before Hiring a Cleaning Company?

Don’t choose a cleaning company based solely on price.

Ask:

  • What services are included?
  • Are cleaning products included?
  • Are machines included?
  • How many cleaners will be provided?
  • How long is the job expected to take?
  • Are specialised services charged separately?
  • Does the company have suitable equipment?
  • Does it have verifiable contact information?
  • Does it have genuine customer reviews?
  • Can it explain the cleaning process?

A clear quotation can help prevent misunderstandings.

How Do I Choose a Professional Cleaning Company in Nairobi?

Look for a company that can clearly explain what it will do.

A professional cleaning company should be able to discuss:

  • Cleaning method
  • Scope
  • Equipment
  • Expected duration
  • Pricing
  • Surface limitations
  • Additional services

Be cautious about unrealistic promises, particularly promises that every stain can always be removed.

Can Professional Cleaners Remove Every Stain?

No.

Some stains can become permanent.

The result depends on:

  • Stain type
  • Material
  • Age of the stain
  • Previous chemicals used
  • Fabric colour
  • Surface damage

A professional cleaner should assess the stain rather than guarantee complete removal without seeing it.

How Long Does Professional Cleaning Take?

Cleaning duration depends on:

  • Property size
  • Number of cleaners
  • Level of dirt
  • Service selected
  • Furniture
  • Windows
  • Equipment
  • Additional services

Many residential projects can be completed within a day when sufficient cleaners and equipment are allocated.

Large or heavily soiled properties can take longer.

Should I Be at Home While Cleaners Are Working?

You don’t necessarily need to remain throughout the entire cleaning process.

However, someone should provide access and communicate any important instructions.

Before cleaning begins:

  • Secure valuables
  • Store confidential documents
  • Identify fragile items
  • Explain delicate surfaces
  • Point out important problem areas

What Is the Difference Between a Cleaner and a Professional Cleaning Company?

An individual cleaner can be suitable for routine household maintenance.

A professional cleaning company becomes particularly useful when the job requires:

  • Several cleaners
  • Specialised machines
  • Deep cleaning
  • Carpet extraction
  • Upholstery cleaning
  • Floor scrubbing
  • Post-construction cleaning
  • Commercial cleaning
  • Structured supervision

The appropriate choice depends on the job.

Do I Need General Cleaning or Deep Cleaning?

Choose General Cleaning When:

Your home is maintained regularly and mainly requires routine cleaning.

Choose Deep Cleaning When:

There is accumulated dirt in areas that ordinary cleaning is no longer addressing effectively.

Choose Post-Construction Cleaning When:

The property contains construction or renovation dust and residue.

Choose Move-In Cleaning When:

You want a property professionally cleaned before moving in.

Choose Sofa Cleaning When:

Your upholstery needs professional washing rather than simple vacuuming.

Choose Carpet Cleaning When:

Vacuuming is no longer sufficient for your carpets.

Can I Book Several Cleaning Services on the Same Day?

Yes, depending on the size of the assignment and team availability.

Combining services can be particularly convenient when you want the whole property cleaned.

Tell us everything you need when requesting your quotation so that we can bring the appropriate staff and machines.
