Prep Your Home for the Holidays with a Fresh Clean

After many months of staying home, families across the country are planning more holiday gatherings and travel in 2021. Will you be hosting a house full of loved ones this holiday season? The good news is, stress-free celebrations are possible with some advanced planning. No, we aren’t suggesting you put up the tree and hang the stockings just yet. However, if you prep your home for the holidays with a fresh clean from ASF Clean Team, you can concentrate on all the fun things your family associates with home and holiday festivities. 

Window Cleaning

You have plenty of items on your holiday to-do list, so why not call in the pros at ASF Clean Team to take care of those dirty windows for you? Increase your curb appeal and greet your guests with style. During the holiday season, our windows are a focal point that features our seasonal decor. The sparkling lights of your Christmas tree will shine all the more brightly through sparkling clean windows. Show your efforts off to their best advantage. Clean windows will also let more natural light in on dreary winter days.

Sidewalks and Driveways

Make the approach to your front door truly welcoming with fresh clean surfaces. The ultra-hot power washing technique used by ASF Clean Team removes dirt, grease and grime, mildew, and other build-up from the paved surfaces around your home. We tend to focus on our interiors when preparing for guests, but we encourage you to remember the importance of having clean inviting exteriors as well. Whether you are hosting a formal holiday party or a casual family gathering, make your guests feel welcome with a sparkling exterior. Best of all, long after your guests have departed, you will enjoy the lasting results of your ASF Clean Team power-washed surfaces.

Gutter Cleaning

No one enjoys cleaning their gutters, so it is a perfect job to call in the pros at ASF Clean Team for. It is best to get those gutters cleaned out before hanging your Christmas lights. The debris and gunk clogging your gutters could be hazardous should they come into contact with your holiday lights. When gutters are cleaned properly, rainwater passes through them and down the downspouts, eliminating water spilling over and drenching your guests as they approach your house. That would be a poor welcome indeed! With clean, cleared-out gutters and downspouts, your home will be ready for whatever weather comes your way this winter season. 

You have plenty to do in preparation for your family gatherings this holiday season. Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed! Let ASF Clean Team take away some of the holiday hassle. Prep your home for the holidays with a fresh clean by ASF Clean Team! Some tasks are best left to the professionals. We have state-of-the-art equipment, and the expertise and experience to do the job right. When you call us to come out in advance, the result is that you will be less frazzled and able to spend more time with your friends and family when they join you to celebrate the holidays.

Office Cleaning: One Company for Your Interior and Exterior Needs

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!

How We Get a Chemical-Free Clean

“Chemical-free clean”. You’ve heard that phrase, but how can that actually be true? There is no way something can be clean without chemicals, right? Wrong! At ASF Clean Team, we’ve found that 99% of cleaning can be done without chemicals. But, you may be wondering, how do you do that? We’re here to explain how we get a chemical-free clean.

We Use Really Hot Water … Like Really Hot

Think about when you’re cleaning or cooking and you need hot water. You turn on the faucet, stick your finger in the water, and wait for the water to get hot enough that you can’t keep your finger in there any longer. You’ll probably see some steam coming from the faucet as well. That water’s pretty hot, right? Well, the water we use is much hotter than that. In fact, it’s hot enough to kill bacteria. Your sink water won’t get that hot, even when you can’t hold your finger under it any longer. That’s why you still have to boil water when under a boil advisory instead of just turning your faucet to the hottest setting. Without professional equipment and training, this level of hot water isn’t safe for you to clean your home or building with.

We Use State of the Art Equipment

Think of the last time you washed your windows or your mirror. Did you use the typical blue window cleaner with a paper towel or a rag? How well did that work? Probably not super well. Even though your window or mirror was clean, you were probably left with streaks on the glass. 

To help prevent this, ASF Clean Team uses state-of-the-art equipment, like the “Little Beast” from Pure Water Power. This equipment is designed to give your home the best clean with only water. The water dries clear and evenly, leaving you without streaky windows or mirrors.

This dry clean with no chemicals is especially important for solar panels. When your solar panels are dirty, the energy production is less efficient. So, if you use chemicals or non-professional equipment, your solar panels may end up with a film or residue that will still keep your solar panels from working as efficiently.

How You Can Get a Chemical-Free Clean

Now that you know how we get a chemical-free clean using really hot water and state of the art equipment, you may be wondering how you can get a chemical-free clean. Just contact ASF Clean Team! ASF Clean Team has been serving the San Francisco Bay Area since 2012, and we provide both residential and commercial cleaning services. The best part is, if you are only requesting exterior services, you don’t even have to be home! We’ll come and clean your building’s exterior, and when you return, you will see the sparkling finish. And, if you do need to be there during the service, we’ll text you reminders when we’re on our way.

If you’re ready to get a chemical-free clean, request an online request today. We can’t wait to provide you with the best clean you’ve seen.

Make Holiday Window Displays Shine with Window Washing

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Halloween has passed, Thanksgiving is here, and winter holidays are just around the corner. Many stores have already switched over to their holiday window displays. The one downside of a beautiful display, though, is fingers touching the glass while they excitedly point out their favorite views. Not to worry, though. You can make your holiday window displays shine with window washing.

How do windows get dirty anyway?

Before setting up your holiday display, you probably worked on cleaning your windows really well. After all, they need to be clean for people to enjoy your display. So how do they get dirty, especially on the inside, if you just cleaned them?

It’s pretty easy to understand how the outside of windows get dirty. People touch them. Bump into them. If your storefront is actually outside and not in a mall, nature does its work dirtying up your windows, too. But the inside is just a puzzle you can’t crack.

The inside of your windows get dirty just like the outside. They may not be as easy for people to touch, but you’ll still have dust pile up on them. And there will be some bumping, even if it’s just from you when you’re cleaning. 

But there’s another culprit you probably haven’t considered: your cleaning products. If you aren’t using professional window washing products, your cleaner will still leave some residue behind. And your windows won’t be as clean as they could be. At ASF Clean Team, we use eco-friendly cleaners and just plain water to get the job done. So, there won’t be any grime left behind.

How can you make holiday window displays shine?

Your holiday display is already set up and ready to go. So how are we going to make those windows shine without messing it up? The short answer is that we’re professionals. We’re not going to be climbing through your display with a bottle of window cleaner and some paper towels. 

Instead, we have professional equipment we use. This includes equipment with long necks, helping us clean those hard to reach places. We’ll use our equipment, water, and eco-friendly cleaning products to make your windows absolutely gleam. 

All of the grime and dust will be cleaned up from not just the window panes, but every part of the window. This means that your display can have all of the attention, not the dirt and grime. And our technique ensures that no streaks are left behind on the windows, like your basic window cleaner may leave.

Get ready for the holidays

You have so many things on your to-do list for the holidays. When you check your list twice, you can go ahead and cross “window washing” off. Just give ASF Clean Team a call. We’ll be happy to discuss your window washing needs and how we can make your holiday season a little bit easier. Or, if you prefer, you can get a free quote online. We hope to hear from you soon.

How to Return Your Home to Normalcy After a Bout with COVID-19

It’s been almost two years since COVID-19 came into our lives, and it looks like it’s here to stay. Of course, there’s no way to know exactly what the future holds, but it’s best to be as prepared as we can be. With that in mind, let’s take a look at how you can return your home to normalcy after a bout with COVID-19. Whether you have COVID-19 currently or not, it’s important to look ahead and plan for the future.

Clean, Clean, and Clean Some More

When you’re sick, you have absolutely no motivation to clean. And we totally understand that. Your body needs time to fight off the illness, and that’s taking all of your energy. But, once you get better, it’s time to start cleaning.

After a bout with COVID-19, you should clean your home like you normally do after illness. Clean the furniture and the floors. Change your toothbrush. Actually wash your emotional support water bottle. Clean everything you normally wouldn’t clean, and then some.

However, unlike any other illness, you may want some additional cleaning after a bout with COVID-19. Even though you just recovered from it, your house probably still feels icky. It’s almost like you can feel it lingering in the air. So, for a little extra touch, request ASF Clean Team’s disinfecting and sanitizing services. We only use the best products to make sure everything is sparkling clean, and our team wears full protective equipment (including masks) to help make sure we don’t bring any new germs into your home. 

Get Some Sunlight

Vitamin D is vital for both your mental and physical health. After being stuck in your home for a few weeks after a bout with COVID-19, you need sunlight more than ever. So, take some time and get outside into the bright sunshine. Go for a walk. Have a picnic. Play with your kids. Get out there and enjoy the sun.

If you don’t want to get outside, though, you can get sunlight inside your home, too. While we’re disinfecting and sanitizing your home, take advantage of our window washing services as well. We’ll clean your windows inside and out. Our tools are expertly designed to clean windows without leaving streaks behind, so your windows are as clean as when you first got them. Those clean windows allow more sunlight to come in, and you can get some more vitamin D from inside your home as well.

Return Your Home to Normalcy with ASF Clean Team

After a bout with COVID-19, it can be hard to think about what it’s like to return to normal. You may still be feeling the lasting effects of the illness, but you have to move on anyway. With ASF Clean Team, you can return your home to normalcy. Our disinfecting, sanitizing, and window washing services will make your house feel like it’s brand new. We take your safety and our own safety seriously, so you are in great hands. Contact us today to learn more and get a quote for our residential cleaning services.

How to Get a Cleaner Office Exterior

Now that spring cleaning’s over, your office interior is sparkling. But how can you get a cleaner office exterior? Your office exterior is the first thing visitors see, so it’s just as important to keep it clean as the interior. With ASF Clean Team, we can help you nail that first impression every time.

Enjoy a Crystal Clear View

Whether you’re in the San Francisco or Sacramento area, your office likely has an amazing view. And that doesn’t come for free. When you chose to open your office in either Californian city, you knew there may be cheaper options elsewhere, but this is where you wanted to be. Not only does it create an amazing environment for you and your employees, but your visitors as well.

At ASF Clean Team, we specialize in commercial cleaning, including high rise window washing. No matter how high your office is, we can clean your windows, window frames, and even the tracks and sills, all in one service. So, you, your employees, and your visitors can all enjoy the crystal clear view you pay for, and you don’t have to worry about cleaning all the little parts.

Get a Cleaner Office Exterior with Pressure Washing

Your windows aren’t the only thing visitors are going to notice, though. In fact, they’ll probably notice the rest of your office exterior more. But, you’re in luck. At ASF Clean Team, we do so much more than just window washing.

For example, we also offer pressure washing, power washing, and soft washing services. All three of these are similar methods used to clean different parts of your office’s exterior. For example, we may use pressure washing for your siding, power washing for your sidewalk, and soft washing for your roof if you have a standalone office building. And the best part is, you can schedule your services all at once so we clean the building’s exterior and windows at the same time, saving you both time and money.

Maintain Your Historic Office Building

One of the best parts of San Francisco and Sacramento is all the history. In fact, your office may even be in a historic office building. Maintaining a historic office building comes with different rules and regulations than a typical building. Since we’re a locally-owned business, we know those rules and regulations all too well. We will ensure we gently clean your historic building to help maintain it for years to come.

Schedule Exterior Cleaning Services with ASF Clean Team

Whether you’re in a standalone office building or a high rise, in Sacramento or San Francisco, ASF Clean Team has you covered. We can take care of your window washing and any other exterior cleaning, all in one scheduled service. Plus, all of our employees are professionally trained and insured, so you can rest easy while we do our work. Give us a call today to get a quote and schedule your services. If you set up a three-year contract with us, we’ll lock in your pricing and even throw in cobweb removal for free.

How to Keep Your Windows from Getting Dusty

No matter where you live in California, the chances of your windows getting dusty is high. San Francisco is no exception. Between the traffic pollution, ash during wildfire season, and grass drying out in the hillsides in summer, California is just really dusty! And that dust loves to collect on our windows.

There are various reasons to try to keep your windows dust-free and we have several preventative methods to share with you.

3 Reasons to Keep Your Windows Dust-Free

Preventing dust on your windows is important for preventing allergies, respiratory concerns, and diseases.

1. Allergies

No one likes suffering from constant sneezing, a runny nose, itchy eyes, and coughing. Keeping your windows from getting dusty is an important step in ensuring an allergy-free home.

2. Respiratory Concerns

With less dust on your windows, that means a lesser chance of aggravating respiratory issues, especially in people with asthma.

3. Disease

Dust on windows contains the potential to host airborne viruses that could infect people living inside the home if the windows aren’t cleaned.

4 Dust Preventative Methods for Your Windows

Here are some preventative cleaning techniques that you can use to get rid of mild exterior and interior dust on your windows:

1. Dust Repellant

Purchasing a good dust repellant that is specifically designed for windows can be a good way to have your windows looking dust-free for longer periods of time. If your windows are in hard-to-reach areas that require a ladder, consider giving us a call to do the job for you.

2. Air Purifier

If you begin noticing a large accumulation of dust on your windows shortly after they have been cleaned, consider checking your air filter. Air filters should be changed on a regular basis, and if they aren’t, they could potentially get clogged up and won’t do their job properly.

3. Window Screens

Window screens can act as a primary barrier for your windows. While window screens are great at preventing bugs and other pests from entering a home, they are also good at preventing dust from accumulating on the windows. 

4. Hire Professional Routine Window Cleaning Services

One of the best ways to keep your windows from getting dusty is by getting ASF Clean Team to do routine cleaning. We provide both interior and exterior window cleaning services, and our services aren’t just limited to the glass pane.

Dust, debris, and allergens have the tendency to build up inside the window frames, sills, tracks, and screens. That’s why we do a deep clean that will end up making the overall air quality inside your home much safer and healthier. 

You won’t have to worry about the safety of the products we use to clean your windows. Every product we use is environmentally-friendly and biodegradable, yet very effective at the same time. 

It doesn’t matter if your windows have a 1-inch layer of dust, or are covered in paint and silicon after you’ve just gone through a renovation project. We’ll have them looking pristine. To ensure that, we always provide before and after photos for you on every job we do.

If you have any questions or concerns about what to expect from ASF Clean Team, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. You won’t even need to stick around while we are on the premises cleaning your windows, and you can surely expect a sparkling finish when you arrive.
