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 nights, keeping your Chicago apartment clean is probably last on your to-do list. But what if you could have a spotless space without scrubbing a single toilet? Here’s how to make it happen (hint: it involves someone to clean my apartment).

Why Cleaning Feels Impossible for Busy Chicagoans

From tiny studio kitchens to high-rise dust traps, Chicago apartments have their own cleaning challenges. Add in a packed schedule, and suddenly, that pile of laundry becomes a permanent decor feature. But here’s the secret: professional home cleaning exists for a reason—so you don’t have to stress.

The “Lazy” (AKA Smart) Cleaning Strategy

1. Outsource the Hard Stuff

Save your energy for things you actually enjoy. A Chicago cleaning company like Jikas handles the nitty-gritty, from deep cleaning help to those baseboards you’ve been ignoring since move-in day.

2. Do Less, But Smarter

For between-pro cleanings:

• Keep microfiber cloths handy – Dust magnetically clings to them (no sprays needed).
• Use a robot vacuum – Set it and forget it.
• Declutter in 5-minute bursts – While your coffee brews, tackle one surface.

3. Prevent Mess Before It Happens

Chicago winters = muddy floors. Place washable rugs at entryways, and thank yourself later. For everything else? Fast cleaning services can swoop in post-snowpocalypse.

When to Call in the Pros

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to schedule a cleaning:

• Your shower has more mildew than the L tracks
• You’re using “I’ll clean before guests arrive” as a motivational tool (and failing)
• You’ve considered labeling dust bunnies as “art installations”
