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

Let’s face it—between work, social life, and deep-dish pizza cravings, keeping your Chicago apartment clean can feel like a losing battle. But what if you could have a spotless space without spending your weekends scrubbing? Whether you’re drowning in dust bunnies or just hate cleaning, these pro tips (and one effortless solution) will save your sanity.

Why Cleaning Feels Impossible for Busy Chicagoans

Chicago apartments get dirty fast—lakefront wind blows in dust, tiny spaces clutter easily, and let’s not talk about those mysterious kitchen grease splatters. Add a busy schedule, and suddenly your messy home becomes a stress zone.

The “Lazy” Cleaning Shortcuts That Actually Work

For days when you’d rather binge The Bear than wipe baseboards:

• The 5-Minute Rule: Set a timer and tackle one zone daily (today: fridge handles, tomorrow: bathroom mirrors).
• Basket Bandit: Toss clutter into a bin before guests arrive—deal with it later (or never).
• Robot Army: Invest in a Roomba and automatic mop for fast cleaning between professional home cleaning visits.

Chicago Spots That Make the Mess Worth It

Instead of cleaning, go enjoy:
– A walk on the 606 Trail (no crumbs allowed in your just-mopped apartment)
– Brunch at Lula Café (now that your kitchen isn’t a disaster)
– A clutter-free Wrigleyville pregame (because you got your space cleaned)
