Built in Kenya.
Built for Kenya.
We're a proudly Kenyan company on a mission to redefine what enterprise janitorial services look and feel like — by combining world-class standards with local heart.
Started in Nairobi.
Trusted across Kenya.
The Janitor was founded in 2021 by a small team frustrated with the state of commercial cleaning in Nairobi. Inconsistent quality. Hidden fees. Underpaid staff. We knew the industry deserved better — and so did the businesses that relied on it.
Today, we serve over 780 enterprise clients across Kenya — from leading banks and hospitals to hotels, embassies and tech campuses. Our 60+ certified professionals handle everything from a single boardroom to multi-acre warehouse complexes.
We're proud of what we've built — but we're just getting started.

Precision

Trust
Vetted, insured staff and transparent pricing. What we quote is what you pay.
