The Lazy Person’s Cleaning Manifesto

Why Cleaning is Overrated

  • Your time is better spent at rooftop bars than scrubbing floors
  • Small efforts make a big impact when done strategically
  • Prevention beats cure when it comes to messes
  • Sometimes the smartest move is to book an appointment with pros

The No-Effort Cleaning System

Set a timer and:

  • Clear surfaces (counters, tables, nightstands)
  • Do a quick sweep of visible floors
  • Wipe bathroom sinks with disinfecting wipes
  • Too busy? Our fast cleaning services can handle it

2. The Weekly Refresh (15 Minutes Max)

Focus on high-impact areas:
