EMMAUS, PA – October 13, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Glisten Up Cleaning Services has completed turnover cleaning for 144 apartment units at Southside Commons, a student housing property in Bethlehem. The company reported finishing the units in seven weeks, covering floor plans from studios to four-bedroom apartments, while residential cleaning continued on its existing routes. The local project required scheduling, staffing, and operational coordination, and it offered a direct measure of the company’s operational capacity.

Southside Commons was not a single-visit assignment. The company described the finished apartments as turnkey-ready student housing and stated that each unit received the Glisten Up guarantee applied to its other work. Studios and four-bedroom apartments called for different scopes, so crews could not treat every door as identical. The outcome depended on the order of work as much as on the cleaning itself.

Turnover work of this kind is related to the move-in and move-out cleaning Glisten Up already provides for households preparing a property for the next occupant. The company also offers one-time specialized cleaning and recurring janitorial service for workplaces in Macungie and Lehigh County. The Southside Commons assignment applied that distinction between routine upkeep and a concentrated reset, but at a unit count well above a typical home or office visit.

“A project of this size takes an incredible amount of coordination, communication and teamwork. I’m proud of how our team handled the pace and expectations while staying focused on doing the work well. It showed us what our people are capable of when everyone is working toward the same goal,” said Gretchen Rader, Director of Operations.

Team coordination determined whether the seven-week window could hold. Completing 144 apartment units on that timetable required crews, supplies, and quality checks to move in sequence, with leaders tracking which apartments were finished and which still needed work. The company has said the project gave team members and leaders a chance to work together at significant scale. That coordination also had to protect the residential operation, which remains a core area of the business. During the apartment work, Glisten Up continued recurring, deep, and move-in and move-out cleaning for households rather than pausing home service.

The staffing model behind that split is part of the company’s published approach. Glisten Up states that its cleaners are W-2 employees, background-checked, professionally trained, and covered under workers’ compensation, and that the business is licensed and insured. Amber Hoffman, owner, is identified on the company site as the person guiding the operation, with the director of operations responsible for keeping cleaners aligned and the schedule moving.

The assignment also sits against company growth the business has reported. In its account of 2025, Glisten Up said it recorded more than 30 percent growth, completed 4,752 cleanings, and cared for 234 recurring clients. The company site currently lists seven years of experience, more than 200 recurring customers, and more than 6,000 homes cleaned in 2025. Those figures describe a residential base that continued while the apartment turnover was underway. The Southside Commons work was carried alongside that base rather than in place of it.

Service geography placed the Bethlehem property inside the company’s stated area. Glisten Up reports service across the Lehigh Valley and Upper Bucks, including Macungie, Emmaus, Coopersburg, Quakertown, Bethlehem, Allentown, and communities in Lehigh County and Montgomery County. Residential work includes recurring cleaning, deep cleaning, and move-in and move-out cleaning. Commercial work extends to offices, daycares and schools, fitness centers, and medical facilities.

Glisten Up partners with Cleaning for a Reason and states that it provides two free cleanings each month to patients actively in cancer treatment. The company site lists Community Votes recognition since 2023. For a company whose published record is still rooted in recurring home cleaning, the turnover required a fixed end point, a mix of unit sizes, and enough operational capacity to absorb the work without dropping the residential calendar. Completion of the Southside Commons project now stands as a documented local project, counted in units finished, weeks elapsed, and household service that continued beside it.

Glisten Up Cleaning Services is a woman-owned cleaning company serving the Lehigh Valley and Upper Bucks County. Led by owner Amber Hoffman and director of operations Gretchen Rader, the company provides recurring, deep, and move-in and move-out cleaning for homes, along with commercial and office cleaning, daycare and school cleaning, fitness center cleaning, medical facility cleaning, and SteraMist disinfection. The company states that its cleaners are vetted W-2 employees and that the business is licensed and insured. Its published record includes seven years of operation, a recurring residential client base, and Community Votes recognition since 2023.
