Let’s be real—keeping your Chicago apartment clean while juggling work, social life, and deep-dish pizza nights isn’t easy. Most cleaning companies keep their best tricks under wraps… but we believe in transparency. Here are five insider secrets to a spotless home (or let us handle it for you!).
1. The Magic of Microfiber (And Why Your Towels Suck)
That fluffy bath towel? Terrible for dusting. Pros swear by microfiber cloths—they trap dirt instead of spreading it. Keep a few in every room for quick wipe-downs. For a truly polished finish, pair them with our fast cleaning services to tackle what you missed.
2. Your Vacuum Has a Secret Setting
(And No, It’s Not ‘Loud’)
Check for a height adjustment dial! Lower settings dig deeper into carpets, pulling up pet hair and crumbs. Still finding mystery fluff? Our deep cleaning help includes industrial-grade vacuums that eat dirt for breakfast.
3. The 2-Minute Rule That Saves Hours
Professional cleaners never leave a room empty-handed. Spot a coffee cup? Wipe the counter while your tea steeps. Toss that sweater on the floor? Hang it immediately. Small habits = less need for cleaning services near me later.
4. Chicago’s Hidden Dust Hotspots
Windy City = extra grime. These spots collect dust twice as fast:
- Window tracks (hello, winter sludge)
- Ceiling fan blades (invisible until you sneeze)
- Behind the toilet (just… trust us)
Our professional home cleaning team hits them all—no yoga poses required.
5. The Lazy Person’s Disinfectant Hack
Stop scrubbing your sink daily! Spray vinegar or disinfectant after your nightly brush—let it sit overnight. Wake up to a fresh basin with zero effort. Prefer zero effort every day? Schedule a cleaning with us instead.
