Call AM PM Cleaning
Imagine coming home to a freshly vacuumed and dusted home, with a sparkling kitchen and bathrooms, and clean, crisp linens on the beds. Sound too good to be true? Not with AM PM Cleaning. And really, don’t you have better things to do with your time than clean house? We thought so. Call AM PM Cleaning—we’ll take care of it.
The following is a list of services that you can expect our cleaning teams to include at each visit. We try our best to cover all these areas; however, some homes require more attention in some areas and less in others. If this is the case in your home, please communicate your priorities by returning the reply postcard we leave at your home after each visit so we may focus our time correctly.

Don’t see what you’re looking for? Want something a little extra? Just let us know!
We’ll customize a cleaning plan to meet your specific needs.
Generally, our job description is “light housekeeping,” that is, doing the chores you would normally do yourself every week or so. Those tasks usually include vacuuming, dusting, bathroom cleaning, and many other “non-daily” duties.
That job description assumes that the house is ready to be cleaned so our cleaning team can go right to work. People often joke that they have to clean up before the cleaners arrive. But what we’re really talking about is picking up the house so we can get to the surfaces we’re supposed to clean.
That’s not to say we won’t help out in the daily chores such as doing the dishes or straightening up clutter. But for the most part we consider that as something extra and charge as such.
| In addition to our regular services, here is a sample of additional tasks we often do: |
 |
Clean inside oven, including racks and grill
Clean inside refrigerator & freezer
Clean and polish chandeliers & light fixtures
Wash walls
Clean and vacuum fireplaces |
Extra tasks, naturally, take extra time when we do them during our regular repeat cleanings. Please let us know at least one business day in advance of your cleaning if you’d like us to do an additional task when we come to your home. |
