2 Ways to Make the Most of that San Francisco View You Pay For

You look outside and you see…a blur? Dust? Maybe that’s a building in the distance? You can’t quite tell, but you know there’s supposed to be a beautiful view out there. You paid for it, after all. So what happened? Maybe you need to re-negotiate your rent since the view you paid for isn’t that great. Before you do that, make the most of that San Francisco view you pay for with professional window cleaning services.

Next Level Window Cleaning

Who would’ve thought cleaning your windows would make your view better? We know you’ve probably tried that, but we can help you take it to the next level.

Don’t just clean your windows yourself. Get a professional to clean them for you, inside and out. When you clean your windows, you’re probably using a cleaning spray and paper towels or a rag. And we all know, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t get them 100% clean that way. And if you’re in a high-rise building, there’s no chance of you getting to the outside to clean.

At ASF Clean Team, we have the tools to get your windows completely clean and sparkling. The tools we use are specially designed to clean your windows well without leaving streaks behind. Plus, we also have the equipment and training for safe high-rise window cleaning, meaning your view will be crystal clear—inside and out with the best window cleaning professionals in town.

Hot Power Washing and Pressure Washing Your Building

How can you enjoy that San Francisco view you pay for if you know the view of your building is less than perfect? When you schedule your window cleaning, also ask about our exterior detailing services. This involves techniques like hot pressure washing or power washing, which will be tailored for your building’s surfaces and needs. We will get the dust and grime off your building with whichever cleaning method is safest for the structure. Plus, this will keep the debris from spreading from the building to your windows, helping to keep your view unobstructed for longer.

Contact ASF Clean Team for the Perfect San Francisco View

When you’re looking for someone to clean your business building, you want a team you can trust. We understand if you’re apprehensive about hiring someone to clean your office building and windows, especially if you are in a high-rise. That is why we carry not only general liability and Workman’s Compensation insurance for all of our employees, but also umbrella insurance even though it isn’t required. If an accident were to happen while at your business, we want our employees taken care of and don’t want you to worry about it. We have it covered!

So, if you’re ready to make the most of that San Francisco view you pay for, contact ASF Clean Team for window cleaning, power washing, pressure washing, and other commercial services. Your building will be sparkling in no time, and you can get one more thing off your plate. And while you’re at it, let your building neighbors know we’re coming.

3 Things We’re Thankful For at ASF Clean Team

Life can get hectic, and it’s been especially hectic this past year. While 2020 seemed to last forever, 2021 has just flown by. One of our favorite parts about this time of year is that in the midst of all the crazy, we get to take a step back and reflect on all of the great things that have happened. Looking back on 2021, here are 3 big things we’re thankful for at ASF Clean Team.

Businesses are Reopening

Do you all remember in March 2020, right at the beginning of everything shutting down, when we all thought things would be back to normal by Easter? It’s almost two years later, and things are still not back to normal. It’s easy to focus on the negative side, but let’s look at the positive.

Now, businesses that were curbside only can welcome guests back into their store or restaurant. Co-workers who haven’t been in the office for almost two years get to see each other face-to-face again. Extroverts can finally start getting re-energized. And though there are still some obstacles, for the most part, this can all be done safely. If your office is getting ready to welcome staff back in, call in ASF Clean Team for a full disinfecting and sanitizing to give everyone a fresh start. 

Families Get to be Reunited

When we look back on positives from 2021, it’s hard not to think of the shift back to regular life. Sure, things started to get back to normal towards the end of 2020, but it really picked up in 2021. Instead of seeing people through smudged windows, we got to start seeing each other in person again socially.

This means that for some people they finally get to see their family members again. After almost two years, they get to hug each other. They get to see new family members in person for the first time. While video chat has been an amazing blessing to have during the pandemic, there’s just nothing like the feeling of being reunited with your family.

We’ve Been Fortunate with Our Business and Family

We have more than 3 things we’re thankful for at ASF Clean Team, but the biggest one on our list is how fortunate we have been this past year. According to PolitiFact, one-third of small businesses have closed over the course of the pandemic. As a small, woman-owned, family business, this was a great concern for us.

But over the course of the pandemic, we’ve been fortunate. We’ve still been able to help our wonderful clients. We’ve provided disinfecting and sanitizing services, as well as our exterior detailing services. People have returned to work safely, knowing that their workplace was clean because of our business.

And through it all, we’ve been able to be together as a family. Not only are we family-owned, but our team and clients are our family as well. It is such a blessing to be able to connect with these people and do the job we love in a time where everyone seems so disconnected. It’s been a crazy year, but we couldn’t be more thankful for everything we’ve been given.

Happy Thanksgiving from ASF Clean Team.

Busy Holiday Season for Your Business? We Can Help!

Ah, November. It is officially the time of year where if you haven’t started shopping for holiday gifts yet, you’re behind. With Black Friday just around the corner and winter holidays following closely behind, let us help you keep things clean during the busy holiday season.

The Most Wonderful Window Washing of the Year

It’s no secret that windows get dirty really easily at any time of year. For many businesses, it’s easy enough to have your closing employees wipe down the windows and glass doors at the end of the night—unless you have high rise windows.

And during the busy holiday season your employees have more on their plates. They probably don’t have as much time to wipe down the windows. So, day after day, your business is left with windows that have fingerprints all over them. These accumulate, and suddenly you can’t see out your windows anymore. 

Instead of giving your employees yet another task while they’re already busier than usual, hire a professional window cleaning company. ASF Clean Team can keep your store’s windows sparkling clean during the end-of-year craziness.

Pressure Wash, Power Wash, Soft Washing, Rock

To be honest—it was hard putting these cleaning methods into a song. If you didn’t get the reference, read it to the tune of “Jingle Bell Rock”.

Anyways, the cleanliness of your business’s exterior doesn’t stop with the windows. You also have the building itself, awnings, sidewalks, parking lot—you name it. Some of this may be covered by your lease, but that isn’t always the case.

The outside of your business is the first part people see. The holiday season is shining and sparkly, and your building should be, too. We can get your entire exterior clean with power washing, pressure washing, and soft washing. All three of these are pretty much the same technique, but with slight differences in water temperature and/or pressure. These adjustments are made to best suit the surface we’re cleaning to prevent damage. At the end of the day, what matters most is that your building is sparkling clean, and we’ll make that happen.

I’m Dreaming of Disinfecting

A busy holiday season means a lot of people coming in and out of your business. And as much as we wish it wasn’t true, COVID is still around, plus all of the other icky winter illnesses. Prepare for the influx of people by disinfecting and sanitizing your business.

We recommend professional disinfecting and sanitizing at the beginning of your busy holiday season. That way, your building will be as germ-free as possible before the holiday shoppers arrive. Then, have us disinfect and sanitize again once the busy season is over. Or, you could go crazy and add another visit after Black Friday. The frequency is up to you.

All I Want for Christmas is a Clean Business

Dirt and germs are enough of a pain to deal with during the year. But when you’re in the middle of your busy holiday season, it’s the last thing you want to pile on. Contact ASF Clean Team today so we can help take some of the stress off your shoulders.

3 Reasons to Clean Your Home for Halloween

Ah, October. Spooky season is in full swing and Halloween is just around the corner. But do you know what makes this season extra spooky? It’s how dirty your house is. Leaves are falling, ash and dust are covering everything, and don’t even get us started on those cobwebs. If that’s not enough for you, here are 3 reasons to clean your home for Halloween.

Make space for the spooks

When Halloween comes around, you want to decorate. Whether it’s the jack-o-lanterns you carved out of pumpkins or plastic ones you bought from the store, you need a place to put them. You’re looking all over your porch, and it’s just dirty. You need a clean place to put your decorations, especially if they’re reusable. You don’t want them to be super dirty when you bring them back into your house.

Don’t scare off trick or treaters this Halloween with dirt on your doorstep and no pumpkins in sight. Clean your home for Halloween to make space for the spooks.

Are those cobwebs real?

There are some houses decorated for Halloween that are just spooky. You can tell the people who live there really love Halloween because they go all out. It’s almost like a haunted house!

But, there’s a difference between being a haunted house and being the scary house on the corner. A haunted house is something exciting that kids want to visit, even though it’s scary. A scary house is one of those houses that has rumors of ghosts living inside and a creepy backstory told through the generations.

One of the key differences between the two—haunted houses have fake cobwebs and scary houses have real cobwebs. Don’t be that scary house on the corner. Get rid of those real cobwebs before Halloween and make room for the fake ones.

The key to Halloween: Safety first

On Halloween, you’re going to have a lot of people visiting your home. From infants to teenagers, you’re going to see everyone in the neighborhood. And one of the most important things we teach these kids is to be safe on Halloween.

A dirty home can be unsafe for the children visiting. Is there ash and dust all over your porch? Is it covering your handrails and the light near your door? Are your street numbers visible so the kids can tell their parents which house they’re at when it’s time to be picked up?

These are only 3 reasons to clean your home for Halloween, and there are so many more. But we really encourage you to think about the safety of the children visiting your home. You don’t want them to slip and fall on your porch steps. And you want them to be able to see. 
But, you don’t have to do this cleaning yourself. You may not get to everything, or you may inadvertently leave the steps slipperier than they were before. Let the professionals at ASF Clean Team handle it. We’ll clean your home for Halloween, and can follow up after to clean up any Halloween mess. Reach out to us online to find out more.

3 Benefits of Professional Window Cleaning for Your Home

It’s been a long week, and you have a whole laundry list of chores to do. You know they have to get done, but you really don’t want to clean your windows. Do you actually have to clean them yourself? Here are 3 benefits of professional window cleaning for your home.

Do you really want to climb up there?

If you live in a multi-story home, you can’t reach all of your windows from the ground, or even with a basic ladder. All you’ll be able to clean are the windows on the first floor. If you want to go any higher, you’ll need to get a taller ladder. But do you really want to climb up there?

The higher you climb up on a ladder, the more likely an accident is to happen. And the higher you climb, the more dangerous that accident will be. Unless you’re a professional window cleaner yourself, you’re not trained to climb and clean windows at the same time.

When you hire a professional window cleaning team to clean your windows, you don’t have to worry about this. A cleaning team will have the right tools and experience to clean your windows safely and efficiently. And if you hire ASF Clean Team, we’ll also have insurance for all of our employees, so we’re covered if an accident does happen.

Professional window cleaning will actually get it done

Let’s be real: cleaning your windows has probably been on your to do list forever and you just haven’t done it. We get it. You get home from a long day or week at work, and the last thing you want to do is clean your dang windows. It’s not like it’s affecting your basic home life at all. You’re not stepping over the dirty windows like toys on the floor, or tracking the dirt from the windows all over the house. When windows are dirty, they’re just dirty.

But, what if they weren’t “just dirty” and you didn’t have to remember to clean them? That is one of our 3 benefits of professional window cleaning for your home. With ASF Clean Team, you can basically just set it and forget it. We will send you a text to remind you that we’re coming to clean your windows, but you don’t even have to be there (as long as we have access to the windows). We’d love for you to be there the first time, but if you can’t be, we’ll take before and after pictures. After that, you can just go on not cleaning your windows as usual, and we’ll clean them for you.

It will get done right the first time

They say if you want something done right, do it yourself. But there are exceptions to the rule—and this is a big one. In this case, you will probably be much happier leaving the job to the professionals. If you do it yourself, you’ll likely be left with streaks or miss a spot. But with ASF Clean Team’s window washing services, you know it’ll get done right the first time. You truly won’t have to worry about your windows ever again once we start. Contact us today to find out how we can help you.

A Professional Clean for a Professional Business

As a business owner, you know how important it is to have a clean business. Not only does it foster a better work environment for your employees, but it impacts every single customer and client who comes by. So, you need to work with a cleaning company who is going to get things done right the first time, doesn’t waste your time, and doesn’t make you wait. But does a cleaning company like that actually exist? It does! ASF Clean Team gives you a professional clean for a professional business.

First Impressions are Important

There is almost nothing more important in the business world than a first impression. According to Forbes, your business only has seven seconds to make a first impression. And that’s the max! Some people may form their opinion even sooner than that. If you’re a boutique on the street, all you may get is a quick glance before someone decides whether or not they want to stop and come in or just keep walking on by. If you work in an office, there’s a good chance that a potential client has formed their opinion before you’ve even greeted them. So, the cleanliness of your business (a.k.a. their first impression) is of utmost importance.

Making a Great First Impression

The easiest way to make a great first impression is to make sure the outside of your building is sparkling clean. But, you can still run up against unexpected obstacles. Even if you clean your building so it’s spotless, you may come to work one day and find graffiti on your storefront. You don’t have the time (or the tools) to clean that before you open! But, if you work with ASF Clean Team, you don’t have to worry about it for long. Let us know about the problem, and we’ll have your storefront sparkling clean again in no more than 48 hours. Not having to worry about doing this yourself not only means you can run your business with a peace of mind, but you can also give your customers the best experience possible regardless of the graffiti.

Regularly Schedule Exterior Cleaning Services

There are a million and twelve things to keep track of when running a business. That being said, cleaning the exterior of your building is probably one of the last things on your mind. It’s just something people don’t think of often, even with their home! You may be wiping down your windows, but that’s about it. However, when potential customers and clients come by, they’re going to notice the cleanliness of your building’s exterior. We’ve all been to those places where we aren’t sure we want to touch the door handle with a ten foot pole. While your business probably isn’t that dirty, you still don’t want the dirt to be noticeable.

To solve this problem, you can simply schedule cleaning services so you don’t even think about it! ASF Clean Team can help make your business shine with pressure washing, power washing, and more. You can schedule regular cleaning services (you get to choose how often), and we’ll be there. You don’t even have to put it on your calendar because we’ll let you know when we’re on our way. And as long as we have access to the area we’re cleaning, you don’t have to be there, either. We’ll send you before and after pictures so you can see how the job was done. It’s that easy!

Enjoy the View

Enough talking about the customers and clients. Even though they’re super important, so are you! Whether you’re in an office building or a store front, you are paying for that space. And you deserve to enjoy what you’re paying for, especially if you’re in a high rise office space. San Francisco real estate is not cheap. Your professional business deserves a professional clean. And you deserve to enjoy your high rise view with a high quality clean. You don’t want to clean those windows yourself. Not only is it not fun, it can be dangerous if you’re not a professional. So, let us handle it. Our clean team has both the equipment and the experience to give your windows a professional clean, and do it safely. 

Leave It to the Professionals

When it comes to cleaning your business, you truly want to leave it to the professionals. You are the best at what you do, and we are the best at what we do. Which is why you don’t want to leave the cleaning to just any professionals. 

Did you know that it is not legally required for cleaning teams to have insurance for their employees? This means that you could hire a totally legit, certified cleaning team, but they may not have employee insurance. So, if an employee gets injured while cleaning your business, you could end up being liable. 

But, if you hire an insured cleaning team, you don’t have to worry about that. At ASF Clean Team, we insure all of our employees. We know that no matter how experienced we are, sometimes accidents just happen. That’s why they’re called accidents. And if an accident happens, we don’t want that to be on you. We care about our clients and our employees, and understand that holding insurance is important so everyone is taken care of, even if it’s not legally required. So, don’t just work with any cleaning business. Work with one that’s insured.

Get a Professional Clean for a Professional Business

Your professional business deserves a professional clean. You don’t want to do the work yourself, and you don’t want just anyone to do it. If you’re in the San Francisco Bay area, choose ASF Clean Team. We’re as professional as it gets. As mentioned, we are an insured cleaning team, and we have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. We also provide a chemical free clean, so not only are you getting a high quality clean, you’re getting a safe, natural clean. Request a bid today to get started.

The Importance of Regular Gutter Cleaning to Prevent Water Damage

Your home’s gutters play a crucial role in protecting it from water damage. They direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation, preventing water from seeping into your basement or crawl space. However, if your gutters are clogged with debris, they can’t perform their job correctly, and water damage can occur. In this article, we’ll discuss the importance of regular gutter cleaning to prevent water damage to your home.

Prevents Water Damage to Your Home’s Foundation

One of the most significant reasons for regular gutter cleaning is to prevent water damage to your home’s foundation. When your gutters are clogged, water overflows and accumulates around your home’s foundation, leading to foundation damage. Water can penetrate the foundation and cause cracks, which can be expensive to repair. Regular gutter cleaning ensures that water is directed away from your home’s foundation, preventing water damage.

Prevents Damage to Your Home’s Exterior

Clogged gutters can also damage your home’s exterior. Water that overflows from clogged gutters can seep into your home’s siding, causing it to rot and decay. Additionally, the water can damage your home’s paint, causing it to peel and flake. Regular gutter cleaning prevents water from overflowing, preventing damage to your home’s exterior.

Prevents Pest Infestation

Clogged gutters can become a breeding ground for pests such as mosquitoes, rodents, and birds. The stagnant water in clogged gutters provides a perfect environment for pests to breed. Pests can cause damage to your home and also pose a health risk to you and your family. Regular gutter cleaning prevents the buildup of stagnant water, preventing pest infestation.

Extends the Life of Your Gutters

Regular gutter cleaning extends the life of your gutters. When debris accumulates in your gutters, it can cause them to sag or become damaged, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Regular cleaning prevents debris buildup, ensuring that your gutters last longer and perform their job correctly.

Saves You Money

Regular gutter cleaning saves you money in the long run. When your gutters are clogged, water damage can occur, leading to expensive repairs. Repairing foundation damage, replacing rotting siding, and repainting your home can be costly. Regular gutter cleaning prevents water damage, saving you money on repairs and replacements.

Improves Your Home’s Curb Appeal

Clean gutters improve your home’s curb appeal. Clogged gutters can be an eyesore and detract from your home’s appearance. Regular gutter cleaning ensures that your gutters look their best, enhancing your home’s overall appearance.

Ensures Your Safety

Clogged gutters can also be a safety hazard. Water that overflows from clogged gutters can pool on the ground, leading to slippery walkways and driveways. Additionally, climbing a ladder to clean clogged gutters can be dangerous. Regular gutter cleaning ensures that your gutters are functioning correctly, ensuring your safety.

In conclusion, gutter and downspout cleaning is crucial in preventing water damage to your home. It prevents damage to your home’s foundation and exterior, prevents pest infestation, extends the life of your gutters, saves you money, improves your home’s curb appeal, and ensures your safety. It’s essential to have your gutters cleaned at least twice a year, or more often if you live in an area with a lot of trees. Don’t neglect your gutters; it can lead to expensive repairs and replacements in the future.
