Our Story
Built for the way San Diego actually lives
House-cleaning companies treat apartments like small houses. They are not. Compact kitchens, shared HVAC, freight elevators, HOA quiet hours, and balcony salt all need a different checklist.
Valentina Ríos founded Apartment Cleaning Services San Diego from our Little Italy office at 1929 Front St so renters and condo owners would have a specialist team—not a crew that also does four-bedroom houses in the suburbs.
We stay small on purpose. Background-checked people, the same faces on recurring visits, and a concierge who already has your gate code before anyone parks.
Valentina Ríos
Cleaning Expert & CEO
Founder
A queer Latina CEO who still cares about the grout
Valentina is a cleaning expert first. She started in San Diego apartments because that is where she lived—walk-ups near the bay, then a glass tower with a front desk that wanted vendors in and out without a fuss.
As a queer Latina founder, she built a company her own community would actually book: respectful in the unit, quiet in the hallway, and honest about price before anyone arrives. The title is CEO. The standard is still a spotless kitchen.
She trains every specialist on building etiquette, eco-friendly products, and the compact-space details house cleaners skip—appliance fronts, sliding-door tracks, balcony glass, and the cabinet you actually use.

How we work
Four promises we keep in every unit
Flat rate, locked in
No hourly games. You see the price before we park. Recurring plans keep the same people and save up to 20%.
Quiet in the building
Gate codes, freight elevators, front desks, and quiet hours are part of the job—not an inconvenience we discover on the stoop.
We come back if needed
Tell us within 24 hours and we return to re-clean that area at no extra cost. A person answers. Not a ticket number.
The team
Four specialists. One studio standard.
The same Little Italy briefing and the same re-clean promise. You will know who is coming.
Valentina Ríos
Cleaning Expert & CEOQueer Latina founder. She sets the apartment checklist, hires the team, and still spot-checks kitchens in Downtown towers.
Daniela Morales
Cleaning Expert & Professional OrganizerLatina specialist for deep cleans and reset days. She restores compact kitchens, closets, and the drawers that stall a move-in.
Paloma Herrera
Interior Designer & Professional OrganizerLatina designer who stages after the clean: guest-ready surfaces, calmer sightlines, and Airbnb photos that match the listing.
Mateo Alvarez
Client ConciergeYour person on the thread. He confirms the flat rate, parking, elevator, and quiet hours—then checks that the unit feels right.
We clean apartments the way we would want our own keys handled: quietly, on time, and with a name on the other end of the phone.
