We’ve all been there. You get to work early in the morning, ready to start your day, and there is graffiti all over your windows. Whether they’re obscenities or nice messages, graffiti is not the look you want for your business. But, you don’t have time to clean it before it’s time for your store to open, so you just have to leave it for the day and try to deal with it later. What if you could have kept the graffiti from damaging your actual building in the first place? Here’s how we remove (and prevent!) graffiti from storefronts.
Removing the Graffiti Quickly
If you’ve ever dealt with graffiti before, you know the key to removing it is to remove it quickly. Not only does it not look good for your business, but in the absolute worst case scenario, you could have to replace your windows due to the damage. We don’t want that to happen. When you call ASF Clean Team for graffiti removal, we will do our best to be there within 48 hours. This way, you don’t have to deal with it too long, and it shouldn’t cause irreversible damage to your storefront.
We will remove the graffiti by power washing your storefront. Power washing uses very hot water to clean the graffiti; there will be no chemicals used. This ensures that it’s safe for your windows, because chemicals really aren’t necessary, anyway. Power washing is an efficient way to remove the graffiti, so the job will be done much faster than if you try to do it yourself. Plus, we can help you prevent this issue in the future.
Stop the Damage Before It Happens
Okay, so we can’t stop people from actually spraying graffiti on your storefront. As much as we would love to, it’s just not possible. But, we can help stop the damage before it happens. In order to prevent graffiti, we install Avery Dennison® Universal Anti Graffiti Films. This is a clear film that goes on your windows to protect them from the paint; you won’t even notice it. If you unfortunately arrive to graffiti on your storefront, you can just easily clean it yourself with whatever cleaning supplies you have on hand. If you find scratches on the film, let us know, and we can replace it. This is much easier than power washing, or even replacing, your windows, and you can clean them a lot faster.
Get Ready to Prevent Graffiti Today
Now that you know how we remove (and prevent!) graffiti from storefronts, don’t wait to call ASF Clean Team for help. The longer you wait, the more likely you’ll find the dreaded graffiti on your store in the morning. Get ahead of it now and get in a bid to install anti-graffiti film on your storefront. That way, the next time you find graffiti, it’s not nearly as much of a pain. But if you do need help removing graffiti, give us a call, and we’ll be there as soon as we can.
You’ve finally finished cleaning the interior of your home, but now you’re wondering how to get a cleaner home exterior. Everything inside looks so nice and sparkling, and you need the outside to match. But, you don’t have the equipment to do it yourself. You could maybe get things within reaching distance clean, but there’s no way to get your entire home clean by yourself. What are your options?
A Sparkling View
San Francisco real estate isn’t cheap, and you probably know it better than anyone. You’re not just paying for the convenience of living in such a great city. You’re also paying for the amazing view. So, why not make sure you can enjoy it?
Window washing is likely on your spring cleaning checklist, but you’re probably just getting the inside of your windows clean. While that’ll help the view some, it doesn’t give you the crystal clear view you deserve. When you have ASF Clean Team come clean your windows, we’ll make sure they are sparkling inside and out. We’ll even clean the things you don’t want to clean, like your window frames and tracks.
Don’t worry about the height of your windows, either. We also offer high-rise window cleaning services for commercial buildings, so your multi-story home is a walk in the park.
A Cleaner Home Exterior
Window washing has the biggest benefit to you because you will actually get to enjoy your San Francisco view. But, if you truly want a cleaner home exterior, you can’t stop there. There’s so much more to your home’s exterior than just your windows, right?
Luckily for you, at ASF Clean Team we offer it all. When we come to clean your windows, we can also clean the rest of your home’s exterior using three methods: pressure washing, power washing, and soft washing. All three of these methods do the same thing (clean your home’s exterior with pressurized water) in slightly different ways. Our team of highly-trained professionals will determine the right method (or methods) to use when cleaning your home. So, you don’t have to worry about figuring out the right way to clean yourself.
This is especially important if you live in a historic San Francisco home. Historic homes need a little bit of extra care, and we know just how to take care of them. You don’t want to hire just anyone to clean your historic home and risk its integrity – hire someone with experience who you can trust.

According to CA.GOV, California has endured over 4,679 wildfires thus far in the 2022 fire season, covering more than 50,000 acres. That’s quite a bit of clean up! We know we can’t help everyone affected by these statistics, although we wish we could. However, we can certainly help those in the San Francisco area who need to tidy up after nearby wildfires leave a mess on our homes or businesses. Let our team of experts at ASF Clean Team alleviate the stress that comes with the aftermath of fire season in California. We can take care of it, so you don’t have to.
Why hire someone to clean up after fire season?
Most of the information you read about cleaning up after wildfires in California calls for a number of chemical compounds to be used. But most of our customers in San Francisco prefer not to handle that stuff, and would rather their cleaning companies use the most natural ingredients possible during fire clean up. Ash and soot already have unsavory side effects if you happen to come into contact with them or breath them in. You don’t want the cleaning solutions used to be bad for you, as well!
ASF Clean Team focuses on using the safest clean up products and techniques available. This is just one of the areas we specialize in. Are you a business owner dealing with ash? We’ve got you covered. Is your home and driveway covered in soot and ash? We will take care of it, so you can relax and enjoy all things pumpkin spice this fall.
We are more than happy to help get your San Francisco home or business in tip-top shape so you can take care of your family, staff, or all of the above.
We have the proper attire and tools for this type of clean up around San Francisco homes and businesses. We will get the job done in a timely manner, so you can get back to the more important things in life, like spending time with your loved ones or catching a football game. Go ‘Niners!
What makes ASF Clean Team your best choice for fire clean up in San Francisco?
Our fully-insured and highly-trained team uses state-of-the-art equipment, along with safe disinfectant products. We also offer pressure washing, power washing, and soft washing as needed. Pressure washing is the temperature of tap water, power washing is hot water, and cold water is used for soft washing. We use different methods as needed to ensure that the job is done with accuracy and efficiency. We assure you that we will use the correct method to remove soot and ash from your windows, roof, solar panels, and driveway for a job well done.
At ASF Clean Team, our number-one priority is client satisfaction. We know that clean up after the California fire season can be a daunting task. Reach out to ASF Clean Team for a free quote today, and let our experts take care of you so that you can enjoy the beauty of your home or business once again.
We all have something we’re scared of, and some of us are scared of heights. It’s an understandable fear because climbing up to high places can be dangerous without the right tools or experience. So how in the world are you supposed to clean your home’s exterior? Sure, you can get the parts you can reach from the ground, but it’s just going to look silly if only half of your house is clean. We have a solution for you: hire ASF Clean Team to clean your home’s exterior if going up a ladder just isn’t for you.
We’re Not Scared of Heights
We totally understand what it’s like to be afraid of something. All of us at ASF Clean Team are scared of something. Heights just aren’t one of them (neither are spiders, since we also offer cobweb cleaning services).
There is no need to face your fear. There’s nothing wrong with it. Let the professionals handle it. And if your fear comes from a place of worrying about an accident, don’t worry about that, either. We have a team of highly trained professionals, so we know what we’re doing. Should an accident happen, though, we have insurance coverage for every single one of our employees.
Wash Off the Windows
One of the most important parts of cleaning your home’s exterior is cleaning the windows. After cleaning the inside, this important step is often forgotten.
No matter how high your windows are, we can clean them. Yes, even a skylight. Not only will we clean the window panes, but also the frames, tracks, and sills. From the top to the bottom of your home, you’ll have a crystal clear view.
Put on the Pressure
Cleaning your home isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are so many different parts of your home and each of them needs to be cleaned in a different way. Where do you even begin?
Begin by calling ASF Clean Team. We know all of the different methods to clean your house and can do them for you. From pressure washing and power washing for the sturdier parts of your home to soft washing for the parts that need a little extra care, we have you covered.
Take it to the Top
At ASF Clean Team, we do so much more than just clean windows. As we already covered, we also offer pressure washing services and cobweb removal. That’s great and all, but you can reach most of those places with a step ladder. What about the really hard-to-reach stuff?
We also offer roof, gutter, and downspout cleaning. We’ll climb to the top of your roof to make sure your entire home is sparkling clean. This preventative service will also help keep water from piling up and damaging your home. We can also clean your solar panels while we’re up there.
Get in Touch with ASF Clean Team
You don’t have to face your fears in order to have a clean home exterior. If you’re scared of heights, get in touch with ASF Clean Team. We can take care of everything that needs to be cleaned on your home’s exterior, from the top to the bottom.
The season of giving is here. Last month, we gave thanks for all we have. Now, we get to show our appreciation by giving gifts to our loved ones. The little ones are easy; they’ve had their wish lists ready for months. But what about that person in your life who insists they don’t need anything this year? You know—the person who could really use some help but won’t ask for it. This year, give the gift of clean to a loved one.
To the One Who Could Really Use a Break
We all know that one person who could really use a break. Maybe they’re a single parent running their kids everywhere while working. Maybe they’re not a single parent, but they’re still so busy they barely have time to sit down and eat. Or maybe none of that applies to them, but they could still really use a break.
When we’re busy, the last thing any of us wants to do is clean. We can find the motivation to clean the stuff that gets in our way, like laundry, toys, and dishes. But that deep cleaning? Forget about it. We can’t really be bothered with it inside the house, never mind the outside.
That’s why this year you should give the gift of clean to a loved one who could really use a break. Do they have solar panels you know haven’t been cleaned since they were installed? Could their home’s exterior just really use some pressure washing? Or maybe their windows are covered in fingerprints from little hands.
At ASF Clean Team, we have residential exterior detailing covered. And the best part is, your loved one doesn’t even have to be home when we stop by. We’ll send them a text to let them know we’re coming, but if they’re busy, we’ll send them before and after pictures. It’s the perfect gift for a busy friend who could really just use a little help.
To the Busy Business Owner
The gift of clean doesn’t stop at home. Do you know a business owner who is just really overwhelmed this holiday season? Or just in general? Take some stress off of their plate by giving them the gift of clean. Like our residential services, we have your commercial cleaning needs covered.
Whether they own an office or a storefront, we will leave their business sparkling clean. And like our residential services, as long as we’re only servicing the exterior, they won’t even have to be there. We will need someone to let us in for our disinfecting and sanitizing services, though.
Give the Gift of ASF Clean Team
We all have someone in our lives who could use the gift of clean this holiday season. If your loved one lives in the San Francisco area, give them the gift of ASF Clean Team. We promise we’ll leave their home or business sparkling. Contact us today, and we will be in touch to make this thoughtful gift idea a reality.
If you own a home or business, you’ve probably heard of power washing, but what is power washing, exactly? Additionally, the term “soft washing” is probably new. Isn’t it just the same as pressure washing? Nope! Hot power washing and soft power washing are two techniques that may sound similar, but have two separate purposes. Let’s explain!
What Puts the “Power” in Power Washing?
Pressure washing, power washing, and soft washing are all similar techniques. But, they all have slight differences that make them unique. They all use varying levels of pressure to clean your building’s exterior. So what exactly puts the “power” in power washing?
The heat is what makes power washing stand out. Pressure washing uses high pressure but a lower temperature to get the job done. However, power washing takes this high pressure and combines it with high heat to get an even better clean. This combination of heat and pressure isn’t ideal for all surfaces, though. This is where soft washing comes into the picture.
When Do You Use Hot Power Washing and Soft Power Washing?
The main difference between these two methods of power washing is the level of pressure. Hot power washing uses a higher temperature and higher pressure, which is not ideal for more sensitive surfaces. However, soft power washing uses a lower temperature and lower pressure, to effectively clean those surfaces that need a little more care.
Hot power washing is ideal for those really hard to clean surfaces. Do you have some old wooden patio furniture that’s grown moss or algae? What about stains on your garage floor or driveway that you just can’t seem to get off? Hot power washing can be perfect for these situations because the heat and pressure can clean quickly, and these surfaces can withstand them.
On the other hand, if you have a historic home that really needs a good clean, or maybe an awning with stains and gunk on it, soft washing is going to be your friend. The lower pressure and temperature, will safely clean those surfaces, making them shine.
How Do I Get Professional Power Washing Services?
Power washing and soft washing your building’s exterior isn’t something just anyone can do. These techniques require special equipment, and an expert professional who knows which technique is right for your business property or residential home. The different methods are not suitable for all surfaces, so it’s important you trust who you hire.
At ASF Clean Team, we’re known for our superior window cleaning services, but we also specialize in hot power washing and soft power washing. In some instances, hot soft washing may be necessary and can be done on request. Our employees know which method to use for different surfaces, and our professional equipment helps us get the job done right the first time. Plus, you can get your window cleaning and exterior detailing done at the same time, saving you time and money. Contact us today to learn more about power washing prices or any other questions you may have.
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.
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.
There is one company that can clean it all! If your goal is to clean your windows or anything else, ASF Clean Team is who you want to call.

Absolutely! Not only do our extraordinary employees clean your gutters to help protect your home and roof, but they can also install gutter guards to ensure your gutters stay clean once we’re done. Keeping your gutters clean and clear will ensure that your home is safe from water damage over time.
Can ASF Clean Team clean my siding?
You bet! We actually offer three types of washing techniques, as well. This enables us to deep clean not only siding, but other types of surfaces as well. We offer standard pressure washing to make sure even the most basic of surfaces are sparkling clean. If something is extra grimy, we can use power washing to get all of it off without using chemicals. Older homes that are more fragile can be soft-washed to preserve their integrity.
Can ASF Clean Team clean my sidewalks?
Again, we offer all three power washing, pressure washing, and soft washing, so we are well-equipped to handle any surface your home has to offer.

Can ASF Clean Team do all of this on the same day?

If you’re like most homeowners, you probably take great pride in maintaining the appearance of your home. Power washing is one of the most effective ways to care for the outside of your home and create a place you’re excited to return to after a long day at work, but it’s more than just scrubbing the outside walls. There are many areas around your property that more than benefit from power washing. In some cases, it can even uncover places around your home that need repairs before they become too costly. Here are 10 things on your home’s exterior that you can benefit from power washing.
1. Patio and Porch Furniture
All throughout the year, furniture on your porch or patio is exposed to the elements. Keep them looking new and lasting longer with regular power washing.
2. Garage Doors
As one of the most visible elements of your home’s exterior, taking the time to power wash your garage doors can make a huge difference in its appearance.
3. Driveway and Sidewalks
Power washing is essential for removing grease and oil stains on your driveway as well as dirt and grime that builds up along the sidewalks around your home. It’s an incredibly easy way to boost your curb appeal and keep your home looking its best.
4. Gutters and Downspouts
Power washing your gutters and downspouts can help prevent water damage to your home’s exterior. It also removes any debris or dirt that has accumulated in the gutters. However, because pressure washing is a bit more intense than your average rainfall, washing your gutters should be left to a professional cleaning service.
5. Decks and Fences
Remove dirt, mud, and other stains on your deck or fence with ease! Having a brighter, cleaner deck can make all the difference when it comes to boosting your home’s exterior look. And, a fence free of spots and blemishes will give your garden or yard an eye-catching glow from the curb.
6. Window Frames
Power washing your window frames will help keep them looking great by removing dust, pollen, and dirt that may have accumulated over time. Window frames are a bit tricky to power wash, as there is the risk of breaking the window. This is another project that’s best left to professionals with the proper equipment, experience, and expertise.
7. Lawn Furniture
While lawn furniture is made to endure what the weather unleashes throughout the year, power washing is an easy way to keep your set looking new.
8. Foundation Walls
If fences and porches can benefit from power washing, your home’s foundation walls definitely can. Over time it’s easy for mud, dirt, and even moss to build up around your foundation walls, which can potentially disguise damage or cracks that need to be addressed immediately. A quick spray down with the right power washing method will help illuminate possible repairs needed and create the finishing touch.
9. Roof
A power washer can help to keep your roof looking its best by removing dirt and grime that has accumulated over time from weather or ash from nearby fires. Restore your roof to its former glory with a quick power washing from a professional.
10. Outdoor Play Equipment
Kids are messy, the outdoors are messy, it’s inevitable that outdoor play equipment will need washing from time to time to keep it clean and safe.
A professional power washing service can help make sure your home’s exterior is looking as good as it possibly can. And while you may be tempted to do it yourself, a professional power washer can provide the best results as they have the right equipment and experience. At ASF Clean Team, our service technicians are insured and certified for power washing, as well as pressure and soft washing. Contact us today and get a quote.
