Company profile
researched Aug 2026Fichaya is a tech-enabled cleaning services company serving individuals and corporate clients, with operations described in Lagos, Nigeria and a stated ambition to be the go-to home cleaning, corporate cleaning and organizing brand across Africa. The name is Igbo for 'clean it'. Services offered include housekeeping, commercial cleaning, post-construction cleaning, organizing and decluttering, deep cleaning, fumigation, upholstery maintenance and rug cleaning, with an organizing consultation also listed.
Orders are placed through the company's web platform, where customers describe their space, choose frequency and service type, provide access instructions and see indicative pricing. The same platform handles the supply side: prospective cleaning associates apply online, complete a KYC form, are vetted, interviewed and given a cleaning test before joining. The founder has characterised technology as an amplifier of processes that were first built and validated manually rather than as the starting point of the business.
Customer support is offered by direct message and WhatsApp between 9am and 6pm. The company lists corporate customers and strategic partners on its site and directs press enquiries to a dedicated media address.
Business model
Fichaya sells cleaning and organizing services to households and corporate clients, delivered by vetted cleaning associates recruited and managed through the company. Customers order on the web platform, specifying the type of space, cleaning frequency, service type (regular cleaning, deep cleaning or fumigation), access instructions and any special requirements, and are shown the price based on those preferences. The company markets three cleaning plans. On the supply side, associates are offered fixed and flexible work schedules plus training and growth opportunities within an associate community.
▸Full profile — history
History
The business launched in 2017 under the name Mora's Cleaning, starting with a single cleaner and two customers drawn from the founder's own network. It began growing three to four months after launch, primarily through referrals, and a relationship manager was hired to oversee the associate and customer relationships. The original cleaner remained with the company as a cleaning associate at the time of the 2020 TechCabal interview. Scheduling was initially handled manually on spreadsheets for as many as 100 customers before processes were moved onto a web platform. The company later operated under the Fichaya name, with a website publishing service pages and a cleaning-focused blog with posts dated through November 2024.
