Chicago winters are brutal enough without spending your weekends scrubbing soap scum off shower doors. If you’re tired of battling hard water stains and that mysterious bathroom film, we’ve got a game-changing trick that takes just 3 minutes. And for everything else? There’s always professional home cleaning to save your sanity.

The Magic Dawn Dish Soap Hack

Here’s how Chicago apartment dwellers are getting hotel-quality shine without the elbow grease:

  • Hot water + Dawn: Fill a bowl with hot water and squeeze in Blue Dawn dish soap (yes, the same stuff you use for windows)
  • Wipe with purpose: Use a microfiber cloth or even paper towels to wipe down glass in vertical strokes
  • No rinse needed: Unlike commercial cleaners, you can simply wipe away the suds – the Dawn leaves no residue

Pro Tips for Stubborn Stains:

  • For heavy buildup, let the Dawn solution sit for 2-3 minutes before wiping
  • Use an apartment cleaning service for annual deep cleans to prevent permanent hard water damage
  • Maintain between cleanings by squeegeeing after each shower

When to Call in the Pros

While this hack works wonders for maintenance, some situations call for deep cleaning help:

  • Years of neglected mineral buildup
  • Mold in grout lines (Chicago bathrooms are prone to it)
  • When you’d rather spend Saturday at Kingston Mines than cleaning

Our Chicago cleaning company specializes in making bathrooms sparkle – no Dawn dish soap required on your part.
