Our Company History
Merry Maids of Lehigh Valley is a proud part of the Merry Maids® brand at large, whose history dates back to 1979 when the original location was first opened in Omaha, Nebraska. Since then, the company has expanded to cities across the U.S., including our very own right here in Bethlehem, PA.
Proudly Serving the Lehigh Valley Since 1992 with a Passion for Clean Homes and Community Care.
In 1992, Audrey Rehnert, a successful real estate professional, recognized a growing demand for reliable and professional home cleaning services in the Northampton County area. After extensive research, she chose to bring the Merry Maids® brand to her community, drawn by its reputation for excellence and customer care. We have been part of this community for a long time.
Since then, Audrey and her team proudly served families across Northampton County. In October 2023, Audrey and her partner, Humberto Zepeda, expanded the service area to include Lehigh County by acquiring the existing franchise from retiring owners. Today, Merry Maids of Lehigh Valley continues to thrive under their leadership, with a team dedicated to service, community, and cleanliness.
Our cleaning professionals are the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to hiring individuals who embody the professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail that define the Merry Maids® name. We believe in growing from within. Many of our team members have advanced into leadership roles, and we’re proud to offer training and opportunities for those interested in building a career
At Merry Maids of Lehigh Valley, our mission is simple: to give you back your time. We believe your home should be a place of rest, comfort, and joy, not just another item on your to-do list. That’s why we offer customized cleaning services that fit your lifestyle and schedule, so you can focus on what matters most.
