Why should you have your apartment professionally cleaned?
Apartment living in the Greater Chicago Area comes with its own set of challenges that make professional cleaning not just convenient but essential.
Limited space means clutter accumulates fast. Without ample storage, items pile up on counters and surfaces quickly. Our efficient approach helps you maintain order in compact spaces, so your apartment always feels larger and more breathable.
Compact layouts need smart strategies. We’ve perfected techniques for cleaning tight quarters from narrow galley kitchens to studio layouts where every room serves multiple purposes. Our team works quickly without disrupting your carefully organized space.
Your time is too valuable. Between work commutes, social life, and everything Chicago has to offer, who has time for deep cleaning? We give you back your weekends so you can actually enjoy living in this city.
High-rise logistics are complicated. Elevator coordination, building access rules, and security protocols add complexity to apartment cleaning. We handle all the logistics, building management, freight elevators, and parking passes so you don’t have to.
Small spaces need specialized attention. Apartment bathrooms and kitchens are compact but get just as dirty, often with limited ventilation. We bring professional-grade equipment and techniques designed specifically for small-space challenges.
Shared buildings mean more dirt. Every time you walk through the lobby or ride the elevator, you’re tracking in germs and urban grime from shared spaces. Regular professional cleaning protects your personal space from the buildup that comes with communal living.
What to Expect With Our Apartment Cleanings
We follow a detailed, room-by-room standard process to ensure every cleaning is done the right way, every time.
Our two-person teams arrive professionally dressed, prepared with all the necessary supplies (or use yours, if preferred), and start with a clear plan: one cleaner tackles bathrooms and kitchen while the other starts on living/dining and bedrooms. The goal is always an efficient, thorough clean without stepping on each other’s toes or yours.
We start with dusting the entire space and sanitizing surfaces, then sweeping, vacuuming, and finishing with a thorough mopping to leave your home spotless. This method ensures every corner gets the attention it deserves. We also ensure to make beds, empty trash bins, and tidy up spaces.
Customize your cleaning to fit your needs. On top of our standard clean, we have many options available.

Apartment Cleaning Challenges We Handle in Greater Chicago
Living in a Chicago-area apartment comes with unique cleaning challenges that most national chains don’t understand. Between brutal winters, high-rise logistics, and urban grime, apartment dwellers face obstacles that suburban homeowners never encounter. We’re locals who get it and we’ve perfected our approach to handle every Chicago-specific challenge your apartment throws at us.
Winter Salt and Slush Tracking
Chicago winters are beautiful until you look at your floors. Between December and March, salt, slush, and road chemicals get tracked through building lobbies and into your apartment, creating a grimy mess that’s surprisingly difficult to remove. We use specialized floor cleaning products designed to break down salt residue without damaging hardwood, tile, or laminate, and we know the techniques to lift embedded stains that regular mopping just pushes around.
Lake Effect Humidity
Living near Lake Michigan means dealing with humidity extremes, sticky summers and damp springs that create perfect conditions for mold and mildew, especially in poorly ventilated apartment bathrooms. We’re proactive about prevention with thorough grout scrubbing, anti-fungal solutions, and detailed attention to shower areas and other moisture-prone spots.
Urban Pollution and Dust
City living means constant exposure to vehicle exhaust, construction dust, and general urban pollution. Window sills turn black within days, and that fine layer of grime seems to appear overnight. We don’t just dust, we actually remove the urban grime with detailed window sill cleaning, HEPA-filter vacuuming, and surface treatments that cut through the oily residue city air leaves behind.
High-Rise Building Access
Cleaning a 30th-floor apartment isn’t the same as cleaning a walk-up. Building security, elevator reservations, loading dock protocols, and doorman coordination all add complexity. We’re pros at navigating Chicago high-rise buildings, coordinating with management ahead of time, respecting security procedures, and working discretely without disrupting other residents.
Parking Restrictions
Chicago’s labyrinth of permit zones, street cleaning schedules, and meter rules can turn a simple appointment into a parking nightmare. Our team knows the parking landscape inside and out, we’re familiar with permit zones, plan around street cleaning days, and coordinate building parking passes in advance so we’re never late.
Small Galley Kitchens
Chicago apartments often feature narrow galley kitchens with limited counter space and poor ventilation. Grease builds up faster and odors linger longer. We’ve mastered efficient small-space cleaning with appropriate degreasers and special attention to exhaust fans, range hoods, and backsplashes all while respecting your limited storage space.
Vintage Apartment Features
Chicago’s historic buildings offer incredible charm, original hardwood floors, clawfoot tubs, radiators, and detailed tile work. These features require specialized knowledge to preserve rather than damage. We know the proper products for old hardwood, how to descale radiators without scratching, and techniques for cleaning century-old tile grout. Whether you’re in a 1920s building in Evanston or a historic Lakeview courtyard apartment, we preserve the character while delivering modern cleanliness.
Apartment Cleaning Cost in Evanston & Chicago
The most basic apartment cleaning cost starts around $150 for a studio apartment and goes up from there depending on how many bedrooms, bathrooms and any additional items you add on such as a deep clean.
Factors affecting price of your apartment cleaning:
- Square footage
- Current condition
- Service frequency (recurring clients save)
- Add-on services
