About Ames Commercial Cleaning
For over 18 years, Ames Commercial Cleaning Services have been keeping Western Washington businesses clean — one facility at a time.
Built on Hard Work and a Commitment to the Community
Ames Commercial Cleaning was founded in 2008 by Carolyn and Gary Ames right here in Thurston County, Washington. What started as a small operation serving a handful of local businesses has grown into one of the most trusted commercial cleaning companies in Thurston and Lewis Counties.
This company was built on a simple belief: show up, do the work right, treat every client like a neighbor, and take care of the people who do the work. That philosophy hasn't changed. More than 18 years later, many of our original clients are still with us — and that says everything.
After years of dedicated service to this community, they have earned their retirement — and we couldn't be more grateful for what they built. In 2026, Tamara and Jason Griffiths became the proud new owners of Ames Commercial Cleaning, and the fit felt natural from the start. Like the founders before them, they are a husband-and-wife team who believe a business is only as strong as the relationships it builds.
What drew them to Ames wasn't just a company — it was a legacy. A family-owned business with deep roots in the community, a loyal client base, and a team that genuinely cares about the work they do. We've proudly kept the Ames name because it stands for something — and living up to it is a responsibility we don't take lightly.
