Simplify Your Allentown Cleaning Business with MaidProfit
From downtown Allentown to Bethlehem, Easton to Macungie — MaidProfit helps Lehigh Valley cleaning companies streamline operations and capture the region’s booming growth.
Why the Lehigh Valley Is a Rising Star for Cleaning Businesses
Allentown is the anchor of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania’s fastest-growing region. Together with Bethlehem and Easton, the tri-city metro area has 870,000 residents and is attracting New York and New Jersey transplants seeking lower costs of living. This influx of higher-income relocators is fueling demand for professional cleaning services across the valley.
The Lehigh Valley’s economy has diversified beyond its industrial roots into logistics (FedEx and Amazon distribution centers), healthcare (Lehigh Valley Health Network, St. Luke’s), and manufacturing. Downtown Allentown’s $1 billion NIZ (Neighborhood Improvement Zone) revitalization has created new commercial spaces and upscale apartments that need regular cleaning.
Surrounding communities like Macungie, Emmaus, and Upper Saucon Township offer affluent suburban markets with families who commute to the valley’s employment centers. The combination of urban revitalization, suburban growth, and NYC/NJ transplant demand makes the Lehigh Valley one of PA’s most dynamic cleaning markets.
NYC/NJ Transplants Bring Higher Expectations
Families relocating from the New York metro expect professional, digitally-enabled service. MaidProfit’s online booking and automated communication meet those expectations and help you stand out from local competitors.
Everything you need to scale

What Allentown Cleaners Charge
Lehigh Valley rates are moderate but rising with the influx of higher-income transplants.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $105 – $235 | $155 |
| Deep Cleaning | $195 – $430 | $295 |

Upper Saucon Township and Macungie command premium residential rates. Downtown Allentown’s NIZ district drives commercial cleaning demand. Bethlehem’s Southside offers a mix of residential and event venue cleaning. Easton’s revitalized downtown is an emerging market.
