End of Tenancy and Move-Out Cleaning in Nairobi: A Room-by-Room Checklist

Moving out is stressful enough without a weekend of scrubbing. Between packing, handing over keys and organising transport, detailed cleaning is usually the first thing to slip.

Brisbane Integrated Facilities Support Limited provides end of tenancy and move-out cleaning in Nairobi and surrounding areas for tenants, landlords, homeowners, property managers and letting agents. Whether you are vacating a rented apartment, preparing a house for sale or getting a unit ready for new occupants, we clean it to a standard that suits handover and inspection.

Who needs end of tenancy cleaning?

• Tenants vacating an apartment or house
• Landlords preparing a property for new tenants
• Property managers and letting agents coordinating handovers
• Homeowners preparing a property for sale or occupation
• Real estate professionals who need cleaning between tenancies

We can also help with offices that are being vacated, and with multiple units where a one-off deep clean is needed across several properties.

A note on your deposit

A thorough clean makes a smooth handover far more likely, but we cannot promise a deposit refund. That depends on your tenancy agreement, the condition of the property and the landlord’s or agent’s assessment. Before booking, check what your agreement says about cleaning and condition, and take dated photos of the property as you leave it.

What the service can include

The scope depends on the size, condition, flooring and furnishings of the property, and on what you ask for. Here is what is typically covered.

Throughout the property

• Vacuum carpets and accessible upholstered surfaces
• Remove cobwebs and dust accessible high surfaces
• Clean doors, door frames, skirting boards and fixtures
• Dust and wipe shelves, cupboards and accessible furniture
• Clean interior windows, mirrors and glass partitions where accessible
• Scrub and mop ceramic, marble and terrazzo floors using suitable methods
• Clean wooden floors with appropriate products
• Clean mattresses, curtains and upholstery where specifically requested

Kitchen deep clean

Kitchens collect grease, food residue and grime. We can:

• Clean and polish worktops, sinks, taps and splashbacks
• Degrease and clean wall tiles
• Clean cabinet exteriors, drawers and shelves
• Clean the exterior of ovens, fridges, freezers and other appliances
• Degrease cooker hoods and gas burners
• Clean the inside and outside of microwaves, toasters and other agreed small appliances
• Clean fridge and freezer interiors, subject to prior preparation and agreement
• Clean washing machines and dishwashers, inside or outside as agreed
• Machine-scrub suitable tiled floors

Appliance interiors, defrosting and specialist degreasing should be confirmed when you request a quotation.

Living and dining rooms

• Vacuum carpets, rugs, sofas and dining chairs
• Dust and wipe furniture, shelves and fittings
• Clean accessible windows, mirrors and glass
• Spot-clean suitable surfaces to remove marks and light stains
• Scrub and mop hard floors, and damp-mop wooden floors

Bedrooms

• Dust and wipe wardrobes, shelves, furniture and fittings
• Clean doors, skirting boards and partitions
• Vacuum carpets and rugs
• Clean mattresses, curtains and fabric items where included

Bathrooms and toilets

Bathrooms need particular attention to soap residue, limescale and everyday grime. We can:

• Clean and disinfect toilet bowls, seats and surrounding surfaces
• Clean washbasins, taps and showerheads
• Descale suitable fixtures where necessary
• Clean bathtubs, shower trays and shower screens
• Remove soap residue from tiles and partitions
• Mop and disinfect suitable floors
• Clean mirrors and other glass surfaces

How to prepare before we arrive

A little preparation helps the clean go faster and costs less:

• 1. Remove your belongings. Empty rooms are quicker and easier to clean thoroughly.
• 2. Switch off and empty the fridge if you want its interior cleaned, so it has time to defrost.
• 3. Tell us about problem areas, such as heavy grease, limescale, stained carpets or marks on walls.
• 4. Check your tenancy agreement for any specific cleaning or condition requirements.
• 5. Agree the extras in advance, such as carpets, curtains, mattresses or appliance interiors.

When to book

Moves often cluster around the end of the month, so book as early as you can, especially if you have a fixed handover or inspection date. If you can, schedule the clean after your belongings have been removed and before the final inspection, so you have time to correct anything.

Why use a professional service?

• Time: detailed cleaning takes many hours when you are also packing and moving
• Thoroughness: built-up dirt in kitchens, bathrooms and overlooked corners is dealt with properly
• The right methods: different floors and surfaces need different products and techniques
• Presentation: a clean property creates a better impression on inspectors, landlords, buyers and incoming tenants

Where we work

We are based in Nairobi and serve clients in Nairobi and surrounding areas, subject to location, scheduling and availability. Contact us to confirm whether we cover your area and to arrange an assessment or quotation.

Will end of tenancy cleaning get my deposit back?

Not necessarily. Thorough cleaning supports a smooth handover, but the deposit decision rests with your landlord or agent under your tenancy agreement.

Do you clean inside the fridge and oven?

Yes, where agreed. Appliance interiors, defrosting and specialist degreasing should be confirmed when you request a quotation.

Do you clean carpets, curtains and mattresses?

Yes, when they are included in the agreed scope. We can also arrange professional carpet and upholstery cleaning separately.

Can you clean several units for a landlord or agent?

Yes. Contact us with the number of units, their sizes and your timeline.
