House vs apartment
For the same number of bedrooms, an apartment is usually a little quicker to clean than a house — less floor area and often fewer living spaces. Building access, lifts and parking can offset some of that saving.
What's normally included
- Kitchen surfaces, stovetop and sink
- Bathroom clean — shower, toilet, basin, mirror
- Vacuum and mop floors
- Dusting reachable surfaces
- General tidy of living areas
Apartments are usually a touch quicker than houses of the same size.
A single bathroom keeps regular cleans short and affordable.
