Apartment cleaning

What’s included in apartment cleaning in Chicago?

When it comes to apartment cleaning in Chicago, most companies offer two main types of service: standard cleaning and deep cleaning. While the checklists may seem similar at first glance, there’s a big difference in how much time and attention is dedicated to certain areas of your home.

So what’s the real difference? Deep cleaning is designed for apartments that need more detailed, thorough care — usually because of built-up dirt, grease, or dust. For example:

Bathrooms

In apartment cleaning services, we spend more time removing soap scum and hard water stains from shower doors, scrubbing mold or mildew from grout lines, and wiping down walls, doors, and baseboards.

Kitchen

We focus on the dirtiest areas — stove tops, range hoods (including filter cleaning), greasy baseboards and light fixtures.

Living Areas & Bedrooms

In addition to general dusting, we wipe surfaces with appropriate cleaning solutions, give extra attention to the floors, and help tidy up and organize where needed.

Our deep cleaning service already includes vacuuming under movable furniture, hand-wiping baseboards, range hood filter cleaning and upholstery vacuuming. Other add-ons, such as inside oven or fridge cleaning, cabinet interiors, or balcony cleaning, are available for an additional fee.

Special considerations for apartment cleaning in Chicago

Cleaning apartments in Chicago is a little different from cleaning houses. Here are some important things to know.

1.  Window Cleaning
   Most apartments are located on upper floors, which means windows can only be cleaned from the inside — unless your windows open fully inward. External window cleaning is generally not possible for safety reasons.
2. Laundry Services
   Some companies offer laundry as an add-on only if there’s a washer and dryer inside your apartment or building. Cleaners are not allowed to leave your unit to visit a laundromat — it’s not practical or cost-effective.
3. Balcony Cleaning
   Balconies usually require an extra fee. It’s a careful process due to safety and air pollution concerns. Dust, auto emissions, and other pollutants settle on your balcony and can easily spread into your apartment — undoing all the hard cleaning work if not addressed. Also, balcony cleaning sometimes could done bottom-up (not top-down) to avoid re-dirtying clean surfaces (windows and furniture) while sweeping very dirty floor.
