Book with Handy Today

For Sarah Bernhardt, Chicago was ‘the pulse of America’, and we believe it is a description rightfully earned. With so much activity going on, it’s good to know that Handy is always there to facilitate your house cleaning and home cleaning needs. Whatever your needs, when you search for ‘Chicago cheap house cleaning' and download the Handy app, we’ll set you up with your next booking in just a few taps.

 

While you’re doing your morning jog in Grant Park or waiting for the next train to your job in the Loop, it’s reassuring to know that your home is being cared for. From Little Italy to North Mayfair, Gold Coast to Fulton River, Handy has it covered. Are you a Bears fan eager to catch the game but saddled with a pile of laundry that needs to be taken care of in the house? Take your seat at Soldier Field and enjoy your Sunday while your professional gets the washer-dryer started -- you’ve earned it. Or if baseball is more your speed, head down to Wrigley and watch the Cubbies make Chicago proud.

 

Maybe you walk past the Art Institute every day, but when was the last time you stepped inside? Of course, you’re familiar with the Sears Tower (calling it the Willis Tower will never feel natural, will it?) on the skyline, but did you ever think of going up to the viewing platform? The Shakespeare Theater at Navy Pier puts on some great shows, but when was the last time you enjoyed one? Book the best cleaning services in Chicago through the Handy platform and free up some time to be a tourist in your city. Experience the city’s unique buzz with fresh eyes while your top-rated professional handles the cleaning for you.
