The Lazy Chicagoan’s Guide to a Spotless Apartment (Without Lifting a Finger)

Let’s be real—between work, social life, and deep-dish pizza runs, keeping your Chicago apartment clean is probably last on your to-do list. But what if you could have a spotless apartment without scrubbing a single toilet? Here’s how to make it happen (hint: it involves more Netflix and less bleach).

1. Outsource the Dirty Work (Because You Deserve It)

Why waste your weekend battling dust bunnies when you could be at brunch? A professional home cleaning service like Jikas Cleaning handles everything—floors, kitchens, even those mystery stains under your couch. Pro tip: Book a deep cleaning every few months to reset your space.

What the Pros Do That You Don’t:

• Use commercial-grade supplies for longer-lasting clean
• Hit hidden spots (baseboards, fridge coils, etc.)
• Finish in half the time it’d take you

2. “Maintenance Mode” for the Lazy Genius

Between cleaning service visits, keep messes at bay with these almost-effortless hacks:

• 30-Second Rule: If it takes less than 30 seconds (hanging a coat, rinsing a dish), do it now.
• Basket Bandit: Toss clutter into a decorative basket before guests arrive—instant tidy illusion.
• Robot Army: Invest in a Roomba and let it patrol while you sleep.

3. Chicago-Specific Hacks for Busy Urbanites

Windy City living brings unique messes (looking at you, winter slush tracks). Try these:

• Doormat Duo: Place a rugged mat outside + a stylish one inside to trap grime.
• Window Magic: Combat high-rise dust with microfiber cloths (no streaks!).
• Small-Space Savvy: Use vertical storage to reduce surface clutter—less to clean your apartment later.
