In 2012, as a single mom wanting to be more present for her son, Ashley spent $20 on cleaning supplies and got to work. Cleaning offered the flexibility she needed and a way to support her family. What started as a side gig quickly grew into a full-time business as she refined her skills, equipment, and systems.
Today, AMK Cleaning is a thriving cleaning company in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, offering both residential and commercial cleaning services. Ashley and her dedicated team help clients reclaim their time and focus on what matters most. More than just an employer, Ashley has built a workplace where team members feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow—personally and professionally. At AMK, it’s more than a job—it’s family.
Ashley, the founder of AMK Cleaning, dreamed of owning her own business from a young age. After dabbling in a few ventures, she found her true calling in starting AMK Cleaning—now a trusted Eau Claire, Wisconsin cleaning company.
Raised in a low-income, hardworking family, Ashley inherited her generosity and kindness from her late mother, Kim, and her determination from her father, Dan. She credits much of her success to working with inspiring mentors like Tom Hahn (formerly Pinehurst Foods), Chris Nelson (formerly Fall Creek Portrait Design), Rob Connor (Tess Oral Health), Benny Haas (The Plus, The Rev, The Metro), and Mike Ohren (MacMan). She also gained valuable experience working at the former Heckel’s in Hallie.
