🌟 Why Cleaning an Apartment Is Easier (and Harder) at the Same Time

✔ Easier because…

Smaller spaces require less time
Lower square footage = quicker deep cleans
Fewer rooms to maintain
Less furniture
Easy to reset daily

❌ Harder because…

Small messes become BIG visually
Clutter has nowhere to hide
Smells linger longer
Kitchens are tight
Bathrooms lack storage
Harder to organize
Dust accumulates quickly due to Texas weather

This hub solves ALL those challenges.
