Meet the Team
Kára Mareche
Owner and CEO
Kenyan born relocated to Iceland in 2018, first lived in Hella, and even though the weather was cold and harsh for me, I received a warm welcome that made it home. Career in Iceland started with cleaning while learning the language, From cleaning old people’s homes, business areas, Airbnbs and people’s personal homes, I picked up that peoples needs a different. It is from this experience that AfroViking Laundry House dream was born in 2024 and became a reality in 2025. With growing numbers of tourists in the south, a new and equipped laundry was ideal for a guest who needed to go home with a clean load. Hotel and business owners in hospitality industry can also enjoy the services of clean beddings for their guest. Iceland fresh water made cleaning more a breeze, therefore, “effortless clean, Viking way.” became our motto. Being a mom, automatically I had to think and cater for homes that need bulk laundry or fast laundry within my neighborhood. Your mess is our business
