summary
Rooms and closets in Japan tend to be smaller in size than those in other countries, requiring the ability to keep things organized on a daily basis. In addition, due to the strong humidity, water areas tend to get dirty easily. Even if you like to keep clean, it is quite difficult to keep your house clean all the time without help from others in your busy life. Why not try living in Japan more comfortably with the help of a professional cleaner once in a while?
