The Lazy Cleaning Philosophy

Why Work Hard When You Can Work Smart?

  • Your time is better spent at Chicago’s amazing restaurants 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

For Tiny Apartments
