Could a bard use PRESTIDIGITATION as a cleaning service (or tye dyearmor service)and get money?
Or would you still have to sink skills into profession?
Would PRESTIDIGITATION give bonus to said profession
Yes its rather silly but even fantasy people need houses cleaned
I'd probably say that the skills would still be needed. I can operate a vaccum and wipe down a table, but knowing how much to charge, how to find people to buy your services, how to schedule cleanings and be efficient at cleaning.
That makes sense but would it get a bonus do you think.
Bonuses due to speed and awesomeness of the cleaning (think Mickey mouse dancing making stuff clean)
Could you do it? Yes, although it a bit below a professional adventurer or spell-caster.
Nobles could make good use of a wand of Prestidigitation to keep their clothes clean while traveling. A single skill point in UMD would make it worthwhile, considering a single casting is good for an hour.

The problem is that a single skill point might not be enough to regularly succeed.
However, since NPCs do not normally have traits, an NPC could take the extra traits feat and then take the Magical Talent trait along with one other he or she would want.
Magical Talent
Either from inborn talent, the whimsy of the gods, or obsessive study of strange tomes, you have mastered the use of a cantrip.
Benefit: Choose a 0-level spell. You may cast that spell once per day as a spell-like ability. This spell-like ability is cast at your highest caster level gained; if you have no caster level, it functions at CL 1st. The spell-like ability's save DC is Charisma-based.
Then, clean house for an hour. :D
Hell, what about the Trifler trait, which gives you 3/day? I think that it is technically restricted to Varisian humans (or at least those with some ancestry) though.
Anyway, I am fairly certain that prestidigitation should at least be worth a circumstance bonus of about +2 to the check.

Is it just me or has the PFS been making traits stronger than they previously were?

Well, while it does provide more uses per day, it is still prestidigitation. Even as far as cantrips go, it is more 'useful' than 'strong'. It is not exactly a detect magic or read magic here. The latter of those could actually be considered useful since it would ease up the use of scrolls. If you are resourceful enough to make the most out of prestidigitation, then you are resourceful enough to do the same with 50 feet of rope, a 10-pole, a box of chalk, and a dagger.
But yes, looking at it, some of the PFS traits have shown themselves to truly exemplify the idea of them being "half feats". Berserker of the Society of the society, for example, is exactly half of the extra rage feat. But I know that trifler has been around for over 3 years, so is it really that much of a problem?

I hate it when i'm bout to clean my room, or someone elses room and someone asks me to go slay a dragon...
Or it says can create small items can I bluff my way into a laundering gold business?
Edit: evil bards cleaning your room stealing your jewelery and making fake gold with out the blink of an eye
Spellcasting charges have a cost under services. Caster level (1st) x spell level (0th, so 1/2) x 10gp. So the bard could charge 5gp per use of prestidigitation, and be in line with the normal rates.
Now finding people who can afford 5gp a cleaning, but doesn't have servants who already do that for them, might be the sticky issue.
Depending on the kind of party/character you play (Assuming not PFS), you could charge your fellow party members for a cleaning after battles or treks into the sewers to fight the were rats n such.
