About the Role

Apex Commercial Cleaning is hiring a reliable, detail-oriented cleaner to service a restaurant client in Bellingham, WA. This is a part-time, casual position — we want to be upfront about what's on offer so you can decide if it's the right fit for you before applying.

This role starts at 6 hours per week. Cleaners who perform well and show up consistently will be considered for additional hours as they become available.

Time: Sunday after 7:00 PM and/or Monday early morning

• 3 hours Sunday night + 3 hours Monday morning

Pay: $18–$20 per hour (based on experience)

What You'll Be Doing

This is a restaurant cleaning role — it is physically demanding and different from office cleaning. Duties include:
• Deep cleaning of kitchen surfaces, equipment, stovetops, and exhaust areas
• Scrubbing floors, grease traps, and hard-to-reach areas in the kitchen
• Cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms and customer-facing dining areas
• Wiping down tables, chairs, and high-touch surfaces
• Removing trash and replacing bin liners
• Restocking supplies (soap, paper towels, etc.) as needed
• Following food-safe sanitation standards throughout

Who We're Looking For
• Someone who is punctual and dependable — early morning starts are non-negotiable
• Comfortable working in a commercial kitchen environment (grease, food residue, industrial equipment)
• Physical stamina — this role involves bending, scrubbing, lifting, and standing for extended periods
• Able to work independently with minimal supervision
• Prior restaurant or commercial cleaning experience is a plus, but not required
• Must have reliable transport to reach the site early in the morning

Please Read Before Applying

This role is 6 hours per week to start. It is not a full-time or high-hour position at this stage. We are looking for someone who will treat these hours seriously, show up every week, and deliver consistent quality. If you do, more hours will follow. If you're looking for something with immediate full-time hours, this may not be the right fit right now.

Submit your application through Indeed. Feel free to include any relevant cleaning experience in your resume or cover note. We'll reach out to schedule a quick call with the shortlisted candidates.

Please note: Only applications with completed screening questions will be reviewed. If the screening questions are left unanswered, your application will not be considered — regardless of experience.
