Well, get ready for whatever’s in store when you refresh your San Francisco business for the New Year with a cleaning. 

A Shining Building for a Bright New Year

The New Year is all about being, well—new. It’s a chance to make changes in your life so that this year is better than the last. Why doesn’t your building deserve the same?

Say Goodbye to the Holiday Germs

No matter what type of business you own, the holiday season is always busy. You have a higher amount of traffic inside your business than usual, and a higher amount of germs to match. 

Before you come back to work after the holidays, be sure to disinfect and sanitize your business. While this is great to do on a regular basis, it is especially important as the holiday season comes to an end. With all of the germs and illnesses that go around this time of year, you want to make sure everyone who enters your business enters a clean one. And the best way to do this is with professional disinfecting and sanitizing.

Clean the Outside, Too

The New Year is a chance to improve yourself both inside and out. Why shouldn’t your business get the same treatment? Don’t just disinfect and sanitize the inside; clean the outside too. 

Your building’s exterior is the first impression you give anyone who walks by your business. Even though you may think “It will just get dirty again”, keeping the exterior clean should be a priority. First impressions are important, after all.

At ASF Clean Team, we offer several different exterior services that could benefit your business:

Prep Your Home for Fall with a Roof, Gutter, and Downspout Cleaning

by with No Comment Roof, Gutter, and Downspout Cleaning

Fall is finally here and it is time for fall cleaning. Yup, that’s right—fall cleaning. While spring cleaning focuses on the inside of your home, fall cleaning is more for the outside for your home. We’re talking roof, gutter, and downspout cleaning. Getting all of these things clean will prep your home for fall so you don’t have to worry about it later.

Why do I need to prep my home for fall?

We get it. We live in California and there is basically one season all year long. But, it’s still important to prep your home for fall. Even though the temperatures won’t dip too low, you’ll still have leaves falling from trees. These leaves will get on your roof and in your gutters and downspouts, making a mess. So, by preparing now, you’ll be ready for when the changing weather comes.

What does this entail?

A roof, gutter, and downspout cleaning is pretty self-explanatory. It’s just clearing your roof, gutters, and downspouts of all the dirt and debris they’ve collected over the past year. Because, let’s be honest, you probably haven’t checked any of those since last fall.

First, start with a general cleaning, like clearing out all of the leaves and other debris. Then, flush the gutters and downspouts with water and spray on the roof to make sure everything is really clean. This will prep your home for the coming fall and winter weather and any leaves that may fall. Without cleaning, your gutters and downspouts will overflow, causing issues you don’t want to deal with.

Can I do this myself?

Technically, you can clean your roof, gutters, and downspouts yourself. But the question is: Do  you really want to?

Cleaning your roof, gutters, and downspouts yourself means getting up on a ladder to do all of the cleaning. You’ll have to use your hands to get out every single leaf, twig, and dead bug. You’ll have to climb up on top of your roof to get absolutely everything. You’ll have to get your hose up there, too. You’ll probably need some help, and you’ll definitely need someone you can trust to spend long hours out there with you. 

All of that, and you still may have trouble getting everything done. Just like any other cleaning job, it’s easy to get bored and not want to finish it or think it’s completely done when it’s not. Is it really worth it, when you may not actually finish it all the way?

Get a professional to prep your home for fall

Instead of doing all of that work yourself, get a professional to do it. Professionals are trained to do this, have the proper tools, and will make sure it gets done right the first time. Plus, when you hire ASF Clean Team, we will also replace screens and fix any minor repairs on your roof, gutter, and downspouts. And, we have insurance for our employees, so you don’t have to worry about liability if an accident happens. Get a free quote today.

Protect Your Solar Panels with Quality Cleaning Service

by with No Comment Window Cleaning

You invested in solar panels, and you should be proud of yourself. Regardless of the reason, you are cutting down on energy costs and having an energy backup that you can tap into whenever required. You are also contributing to a sustainable and greener future. However, while there are many benefits to be gained from using solar panels, they do require a bit of upkeep. It is vital that you protect your solar panels with a quality cleaning service!

If you live somewhere near a pollution source, cleaning is even more essential. With time, pollution, dirt, sand, and bird droppings can reduce your panels’ efficiency. 

How often should you clean your solar panels?

Solar experts recommend that you have your solar panels cleaned every six months to a year. You can improve your energy output by around 10-12 percent with a thorough annual cleaning. Some solar panel owners assume that rain will wash away any debris that accumulates, but rain can actually leave behind residue. The only way to get your solar panels completely clean and back to efficiently absorbing rays is with a thorough cleaning. 

However, don’t rush off and grab your cleaning brush and soapy water. Here’s why you should invest in a quality cleaning service like ASF Clean Team instead:

Solar panel cleaning done right. 

Instead of scrubbing away at your solar panels, scratching them, and leaving them worse for wear, you can take the easy route. ASF Clean Team will help protect your solar panels and get all of the build-up off. 

When you’ve used soap and water you’ve probably noticed that the soap leaves behind a film. This is definitely something you don’t want to have build-up on your solar panels. If you use the wrong equipment or chemicals, it can leave a residue behind that prevents your solar panels from working efficiently. If you protect your solar panel investments with a quality cleaning service, it can help prevent damage to them in the long run.

Instead of using harmful chemicals, ASF Clean Team utilizes very hot water. They also use state of the art equipment designed specifically for cleaning solar panels. The team uses a water purification filter, and a bristle brush to remove any muck, bird droppings, or dust that might have collected on them.

Get a company you can trust.

ASF Clean Team has been around since 2012, promotes safety, is licensed and insured, and has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. We offer professional cleaning services in the San Francisco Bay Area for residential and professional clients.

We can clean your home and document the process, even if you’re not there, so that you don’t miss anything. All you need to do is let us in, and we will get the job done! You can even stick around for the first cleaning to make sure that everything is up to your standards. 

We also send reminder texts before we arrive, so you’ll never forget an appointment. We have our very own blue suits and masks, so, you can expect us to be on top of our sanitation game.

Get A Quality Solar Panel Cleaning

We also offer package deals for regular maintenance at lower prices, along with a free cobweb cleaning! So what are you waiting for? Contact us today to protect your solar panel investments!

Pressure Washing vs. Power Washing: What’s the Difference?

by with No Comment Pressure and Power Washing

There are so many types of cleaning out there it can be hard to keep track, especially if you don’t know the first thing about cleaning. Two of the most confusing terms are pressure washing vs. power washing. For real, what’s the difference? They sound so similar, and don’t pressure and power basically mean the same thing? The truth is, they are really similar, but there is an important distinction. Let’s talk it through.

What’s the Difference?

The main distinction between pressure washing vs. power washing is the temperature of the water. Power washing uses hot water, and pressure washing does not. While it may seem minimal, this is actually a very important distinction to make. Both use basically the same amount of pressure to clean your home or building, but the hot water is not safe for all structures. So, it’s important to keep these two terms straight, and work with a cleaning business that knows the difference.

What Surfaces are Safe for Pressure Washing vs. Power Washing?

Pretty much all exterior surfaces are safe for pressure washing. Pressure washing is the easy part, because the temperature is not nearly as hot. So, you can use it on your home, your sidewalk, your parking lot, etc. But, power washing cannot be used for everything. Often, the water is too hot to be safely used on your home or building itself. Instead, it is better to reserve power washing for more concrete structures … literally. Surfaces such as concrete are ideal for power washing because, not only are they sturdy enough to withstand the heat, they also get dirtier. Think about it: your parking lot or driveway is probably much dirtier than your home or office building, right? The heat of the water helps pull the grime up more quickly and efficiently than pressure alone. 

Isn’t That Pressure and Heat Dangerous?

Pressure washing and power washing can sound scary. The water is coming out of the cleaner at a pressure high enough to clean quickly, and then you add heat on top of that. So what happens if something goes wrong?

Hopefully nothing will go wrong, but there is always the possibility for accidents, especially if a team is cleaning an upper level of a building. Should something happen, you don’t want to be held liable for something the cleaning crew did. So, it is always important to work with a cleaning company that carries insurance for its employees. Insurance is not required for cleaning companies, but it is always a good sign that a company takes its job and safety seriously. 

Who Can Do Pressure Washing and Power Washing?

While you can buy pressure washers for home use, it is best to leave these tasks to the professionals. After all, accidents happen. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area or Sacramento, ASF Clean Team has you covered. We provide pressure washing and power washing services for both residential and commercial clients. Plus, we have insurance for all of our employees. Get a free quote today to get a sparkling finish for your home or building’s exterior.

Office Cleaning: One Company for Your Interior and Exterior Needs

by Window Cleaning

When it comes to keeping an office building clean and well maintained both inside and out, it might be difficult to believe that a single company can complete the job. And yet, in San Francisco, there is such an option.

ASF Clean Team provides office cleaning services for both the interior and exterior of your office. Our experienced technicians use sophisticated equipment and techniques to ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, without the need of harsh chemicals.

Exterior Office Cleaning

For outdoor cleaning tasks, ASF Clean Team offers soft washing, pressure washing, power washing, window cleaning, graffiti removal and solar panel cleaning.

Soft Washing 

Our soft washing service is designed to clean delicate surfaces without causing any damage. Not every surface on the outside of a building can take the power of pressure washing, and that’s where soft washing comes in.

Pressure Washing

With our pressure and power washing services, our team can quickly remove dirt, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from hard surfaces such as walls, driveways, and sidewalks. 

This will ensure that your building looks spotless to others. After all, first impressions matter.

Window Cleaning

We offer window cleaning to keep windows looking streak free both inside and out, paying attention to all the details. We make sure every single corner of the window is clean — from the frame to the glass, from the sills to the tracks.

Roofs, Gutters and Downspouts

Roofs require special attention due to the potential for leaks, making it important to have them regularly cleaned to ensure that all debris buildup is removed. 

Downspouts are connected directly with your gutters. They need to be regularly maintained and cleaned as well to keep your building protected from flooding or other water damage caused by clogs in the system. Hiring service for roof, gutter, and downspout cleaning can help keep your company protected.

Solar Panel Cleaning

Any solar panel owner knows that solar panel cleaning is essential for ensuring maximum efficiency from your panels. If your solar panels are clean and working efficiently, you’ll see it on your power bill.

We’ll use our state-of-the-art equipment, which eliminates the need for harsh chemicals that could cause any issues to your solar panels. And if they’re not that easily accessible? We’ve got you covered with our highly capable and fully insured team.

Graffiti Removal

Getting unwanted graffiti on your building windows and walls can be quite frustrating. You know that first impressions are important, and you don’t want your clients to encounter graffiti when they visit your business.

Graffiti removal can be done quickly with the right equipment. ASF Clean Team has years of experience removing graffiti professionally without causing any additional damage to property or underlying paint layers on walls or other surfaces.

Utilizing power washing with a biodegradable emulsifier, your walls and windows will be looking brand new in no time.

Interior Office Cleaning

Inside your office building, the same dedication to quality applies. 

Disinfecting and Sanitizing

ASF Clean Team disinfects and sanitizes frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, handles and light switches. These surfaces receive a high volume of germs from employees, clients and even passersby.

And if an employee comes in sick, it can quickly spread to everyone else if it’s not sanitized consistently. This greatly reduces productivity and efficiency because more employees need to suddenly take time off.

All These Services, One Exceptional Team

ASF Clean Team is highly experienced in the above aspects of office cleaning services for both indoors and outdoors for your business. Our team understands how important it is for office buildings to remain safe and clean both inside and outside. 

This is why we strive to provide top-quality service every time our team comes to your office. Make sure to contact us for your quote or to schedule your service appointment. 

Our attention to detail coupled with our superior knowledge makes our team an ideal choice for keeping your office looking pristinely maintained at all times!

Prep Your Business for Re-Opening with a Deep Clean

by with No Comment Window Cleaning

With the announcement from the CDC that it is safe for vaccinated individuals to resume normal life without a mask, you may be feeling more comfortable about re-opening your business soon. But, what is this going to look like? Your business space has been sitting unoccupied for over a year now, with dust and grime everywhere. Where do you even start to clean? Don’t stress; we can help you prep your business for re-opening with a deep clean.

Put on the Pressure

Before you re-open your business, you’re going to want to have a cleaning team come through and do a deep clean. Our power and pressure washing services can help get that job done. We’ll clean your space while wearing suits and masks to make sure that everything stays safe and sanitary, and that you and your employees do too. Once we’re done, we’ll walk through the building with you to make sure everything looks as good as new. 

Not only will we clean your space with this service, but we’ll also disinfect and sanitize it. You can feel confident in returning to a safe work space.

Wash the Windows

Windows may be last on your list of things to clean when re-opening your business, but we promise it will be worth it. Your windows have been getting dirty for over a year now, with no one to clean them. You’re going to get back to the office and your natural light will be dimmed by all of the dust and grime. So, be sure to incorporate window washing into your deep clean to keep your serotonin levels up all summer.

Sparkling Solar Panels

Does your business run on solar energy? If so, you’ll also want your solar panels deep cleaned before you re-open. Dirty solar panels produce less energy, and ruin any savings you had on your utilities bill. But, with just a quick clean, they’ll be sparkling and working as good as new. 

It’s important to have a professional perform this service, not just for safety, but because the wrong supplies can make your solar panels dirtier. Our state of the art equipment leaves your solar panels sparkling and our filtered water dries clear, so there is no residue to block your energy.

Prep with ASF Clean Team

Are you looking for a clean way to prep your business for re-opening with a deep clean? At ASF Clean Team, we only use the best equipment and really hot water to get the job done. We don’t use any chemicals because the water, at the temperature we use, gets all three jobs (cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting) done without them.

If that hasn’t sold you, we are also insured and will take before and after photos so you can be confident in the work. And you don’t even have to remember when we’re coming — we’ll text you reminders! Contact ASF Clean Team today to learn more about what we do and how we can serve your business. Don’t waste your time with a subpar clean; ASF Clean Team only provides the best.

Rain is Not Enough to Wash Your Windows or Sidewalk

by with No Comment Window Cleaning

Have you ever hoped that a good rainfall might clean your dirty windows and paved surfaces? The truth is, rain is not enough to wash your windows or sidewalk. It turns out that after a rainfall your dirty windows may look even dirtier! How can that be? What happens is that the rain disturbs the dirt, dust, pollen, and fingerprints that are adhering to the windows.  

When those raindrops splash on the window’s surface, the grime is moved around and looks worse than before. What about your dirty driveway? The kids had a great time with their sidewalk chalk and now your sidewalks and driveway look like a rainbow unicorn forest. Will the rain wash that mess off? Unfortunately, it will barely touch it. All is not lost, however, when you hire ASF Clean Team to clean those dirty windows or sidewalks. 

We Will Get the Job Done

Once you accept the fact that the windows and sidewalks will not clean themselves and that the rain isn’t going to do the job either, give ASF Clean Team a call.  Rainfall doesn’t provide enough “muscle” to get rid of the streaks and grime that have built up on your windows.  Rain also isn’t up to scrubbing that chalk away completely. We have the right tools and the experience to get your windows and paved surfaces sparkling clean again.

No Harsh Chemicals on Windows

AFS Clean Team has discovered that we can accomplish a thorough cleaning without using harsh chemicals. We use only eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products and state-of-the-art window cleaning equipment. When we clean your windows, we don’t just give the glass a going over. We take it further and clean the sills, the tracks, the frames and the screens.  Do you have mineral deposits? Our products do the job to remove them effectively. 

What About the Sidewalks?

When it comes to the dirty paved surfaces around your property, we have superior methods to tackle those as well. We use a technique called Power Washing. Our special equipment employs ultra-hot water that is sprayed on the paved surfaces at very high pressure. It will take care of that chalky sidewalk “artwork” with ease. As a matter of fact, you may be so impressed with the results that you will want us to clean other paved surfaces on your property such as walkways and patios. We can get rid of mold, built-up dirt, algae, and other substances that have made those surfaces look dingy. 

Rain is not enough to wash your windows or sidewalk. When you need an exceptional clean, you need to call in an experienced company to do the job. ASF Clean Team is not your average window cleaning company. When you call us, you are getting a company that will go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. And our team is well trained and fully insured too, so you can have complete confidence in us. Get in touch with us to discuss your office and home window washing and sidewalk cleaning needs.

Professional Pressure Washing VS. DIY

by Pressure and Power Washing

You want your house to look nice, to have that curb appeal, and to be a place that coming home to is a joyful experience. But, when your roof, siding, porch, and driveway are coated with dirt, grime, or even ash, it can start to lose that aesthetic. However, there’s a quick and easy way to combat the dirt that naturally accumulates over time by pressure washing. When it comes to cleaning your home and property’s exterior, you can choose to DIY the job, or contact a professional pressure washing company.

What Does Pressure Washing Mean?

Pressure washing is a cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, and other build-up from surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, decks, and houses. It’s an efficient and effective way to keep your property looking its best and extend its lifespan.

Doing it Yourself

While it’s possible to pressure wash your home yourself, it’s not usually a wise decision. Pressure washers are expensive and can often cause damage to your home and furniture if not used properly. It’s also very time-consuming and could potentially cause an injury for homeowners with little experience in handling pressure washing equipment. 

Plus there are aspects to pressure washing that the average homeowner simply doesn’t know. For instance, there is a difference between soft washing and pressure washing, which allows for an effective clean on more delicate surfaces. There are also instances in which hot water is more useful. So, while you can rent or even buy a pressure washer to clean your home DIY-style, it’s not something everyone should do.

Why Hire a Professional Pressure Washing Company?

While DIY pressure washing is an option, there are many benefits to hiring a professional pressure washing service. Experience and expertise can go a long way toward a job well done. While you can pressure wash your home’s exterior, a professional understands the different techniques needed to properly clean a variety of surfaces, including knowing when to soft wash and when to power wash with hot water.

Professional cleaning companies also have access to commercial-grade equipment that is much more powerful than a consumer-grade pressure washer you might rent or buy. This means they can clean more effectively and in less time and will have the correct nozzles or accessories for cleaning efficiently.

It’s also a safer option. The professional will have the training and safety equipment necessary to get the job done safely and efficiently. They know how to handle the equipment and can avoid accidents or damage to your property.

And of course, it’s time-saving to hire a company to handle your home’s exterior cleaning. Instead of spending hours pressure washing by yourself on a Saturday, you can relax and enjoy a clean home all weekend long.

At ASF Clean Team, you’ll find the best of the best when it comes to residential or commercial pressure washing. Our technicians are insured, highly experienced, and professional, ensuring you’ll get that sprinkling finish, every time.
