Managing your Airbnb cleaning is a part-time job you didn't sign up for.

Most Nairobi Airbnb and short-term rental hosts are either doing it themselves or chasing cleaners who show up late, cancel without notice, or leave the unit not quite right. You find out when the guest messages – or worse, when the review lands.

  • You don't know if it's ready until you check

    No confirmation, no photos, no visibility. Every checkout is a question mark until you get there yourself.

  • Reliable cleaners are hard to find and harder to keep

    The good ones are overcommitted. The available ones are inconsistent. And training new ones costs you time and energy you can't afford.

  • One bad review on cleanliness changes everything

    A single mention of "not clean" can cost a Superhost their status, their occupancy rate, and weeks of income. The algorithm doesn't forgive easily.

How it works

Three steps. Then you never think about it again.

From the day you subscribe to every subsequent checkout – here's exactly what happens.

1

You subscribe

Tell us your unit size and location. We visit for a brief onboarding walkthrough, collect your key, and align with your booking calendar. One flat monthly fee – nothing else to think about.

2

We handle every checkout

Every time a guest checks out, our uniformed team arrives and cleans to The Host Standard. Hotel-quality bed-making, full staging, every room documented. For longer stays, we visit every other day to keep things fresh.

3

It's documented, not your job to check

Every clean is photographed and logged, so there's always a record if you need one. Squeaky Clean tent card on the table. Unit ready. Done. Want to see it for yourself? Just ask and we'll send it over.

The service

Two types of visit. One monthly subscription.

Your subscription covers both. You don't manage the schedule – we do.

Every other day

Maintenance Visit

Think hotel housekeeping – the kind that makes a room feel attended to without turning it over completely. Bathrooms cleaned, towels changed if dirty, bedding refreshed when needed, surfaces wiped, dusting and vacuuming where required. The place is left fresh. Guests who prefer not to be disturbed can decline – those visits don't count against your monthly total.

  • Bathrooms fully cleaned – not just checked
  • Towels washed and rehung if dirty
  • Bedding changed when needed
  • All surfaces wiped, dusted, mopped
  • Vacuuming where required
  • Laundry service for extended stays (included)
  • Any issues flagged to you immediately
Every checkout

Checkout / Check-in Clean

The full turnover. Every time a guest leaves – regardless of whether we were there the day before. This is The Host Standard in practice: documented, hotel-grade, non-negotiable.

  • Full clean of all rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen
  • Hotel-standard bed-making – tight, staged, no creases
  • Unit fully guest-ready on completion
  • Squeaky Clean tent card placed on the table
  • Before-and-after photos documented, sent on request
  • Damage and maintenance issues flagged immediately
  • Guest belongings found? Photographed, host notified

The 20-visit credit model

Your subscription includes up to 20 completed visits per billing period across both visit types – the same for all unit sizes. When a long-stay guest declines a maintenance visit, that credit stays available for the back-to-back checkout periods that follow. Credits do not roll over: your billing period runs month-to-month from the anniversary of your sign-up date, and unused visits expire at each period end. The model works with your occupancy pattern, not against it.

Pricing

One monthly fee. Straightforward pricing.

Covers your regular cleaning plan in full. Busy month? We love that. We'll take care of you and bill extra sessions at a fixed rate, so you always know what to expect.

Talk to us

All plans are covered by a standard service agreement. New clients pay a one-month refundable security deposit on signing, held against any outstanding invoices.
Either party may exit with 30 days' written notice. Ad-hoc cleans, deep cleans, carpet and laundry services quoted separately.

Our promise

The Squeaky Clean Standard.

Every checkout clean ends the same way: a Squeaky Clean tent card placed on the table, and a documented photo record of the job, ready whenever you want it. You don't need to watch over every clean. We do, and we keep the proof.

This is The Standard. Every property. Every checkout. No exceptions.

📸

Every clean photographed and on file

You don't need to watch over it. If something's ever wrong, you'll hear from us immediately. Otherwise, just ask and we'll send you the record.

👥

Minimum two team members, always

Both uniformed, ID-verified, and reference-checked. No solo cleans. Your property is never in the hands of a single person.

🔑

Key security, documented every time

Keys are signed out before each job and signed back in after. A full register is maintained and available on request.

Issues flagged the moment they're found

Damage, maintenance problems, guest belongings – you hear immediately, with photos. Not at end of day. Now.

★ SQUEAKY CLEAN ★

The tent card on the table.

Every checkout ends with a coral card standing on the table, telling your guest the space was cleaned and prepared just for their arrival. First impressions happen in the first sixty seconds. This is ours.

Guests staying longer see a quieter version between cleans, a cream card confirming the space was refreshed while they were out. It reassures without interrupting, so by the time a new guest checks in, that first coral card still lands the way it should.

Need hotel-grade linen, or backup on supplies? Ours is soft, white, the kind guests remember. We keep it in stock alongside premium cleaning products and amenities, invoiced monthly.
About us

Built by people who are already inside these buildings.

The Host Standard was founded on one insight: the Nairobi hosts running short-term rentals who most need a reliable, professional cleaning service are the ones most let down by existing options.

We're not a cleaning marketplace or an agency. We're a service built with operational discipline – every clean documented, every team member accountable, every host kept in the loop in real time.

FAQ

Common questions.

A maintenance visit is hotel housekeeping – bathrooms fully cleaned, towels changed if dirty, bedding refreshed when needed, surfaces wiped, dusted, mopped, vacuumed. The unit is left fresh. A checkout clean is the guaranteed full turnover: bedding always changed, every room cleaned to The Host Standard, unit fully staged, and photographed for the record. Both are included in your subscription.

No problem – guests can decline if they prefer not to be disturbed. When they do, that visit simply doesn't count against your 20-visit total for that billing period. Credits do not roll over to the following month – your billing period runs from the anniversary of your sign-up date. Checkout cleans are mandatory regardless.

Each completed visit above 20 is billed at the overage rate: KES 1,000 (1BR), KES 1,300 (2BR), or KES 1,600 (3BR). These are invoiced separately at month end, clearly itemised. Most months you won't reach the cap – especially when long-stay guests decline some maintenance visits.

Cleaning supplies are provided by you, the host, and kept at the property. We'll flag when supplies are running low. If you'd rather not manage it, we keep hotel-grade linen, cleaning products, and guest amenities in stock, invoiced as a simple add-on to your subscription.

Everything runs through one WhatsApp Business number. You receive 24-hour advance notice before each scheduled clean, and any damage or maintenance issue the moment it's found, with photos. Every clean is documented on our side too. If you ever want to see it, just ask and we'll send it straight to your WhatsApp. You always deal with the company, not individual cleaners.

Yes. Give us 7 days' written notice and we'll pause your subscription for the unoccupied period. Your service resumes on an agreed restart date. Either party can exit the agreement with 30 days' written notice via WhatsApp or email.

We currently operate in Westlands, Kilimani, Lavington, Parklands, and Kileleshwa. If your unit is just outside these areas, WhatsApp us and we'll confirm whether we can accommodate you.
