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

Let’s be real—between work, social life, and Chicago’s brutal winters, keeping your apartment clean is probably the last thing on your mind. But a messy space can drain your energy (and your sanity). The good news? You can have a spotless home without scrubbing a single toilet. Here’s how.

1. Outsource the Hard Stuff (Because You Deserve It)

Why waste your weekends battling dust bunnies when you could be at brunch? A professional home cleaning service like ours handles the dirty work—so you don’t have to. Just schedule a cleaning, and we’ll make your floors shine while you binge Netflix.

What to Delegate:

• Deep cleans: Let us tackle grout, oven grease, and those weird fridge spills.
• Recurring maintenance: Weekly or biweekly apartment cleaning keeps chaos at bay.
• Move-out scrubs: Get your security deposit back without lifting a sponge.

2. “Set It and Forget It” Cleaning Hacks

For the days between pro cleanings, these tricks keep messes minimal:

For the Kitchen

• Microwave magic: Heat a bowl of water + lemon for 3 mins—wipes clean instantly.
• Fridge defense: Line shelves with placemats for easy spill cleanup.

For the Bathroom

• Shower spray: Post-shower, spritz walls with vinegar/water to prevent mold.
• Toilet tablets: Drop one in the tank to keep it fresh between deep cleaning help visits.

3. Stop Clutter Before It Starts

Chicago apartments are small—mess multiplies fast. Try these:

• The 1-minute rule: If it takes <1 min (e.g., hanging a coat), do it NOW.
• Donate monthly: Purge what you don’t love (or use).
• Baskets are BFFs: Toss remotes, mail, etc. in stylish bins—instant “clean.”
