Spring Cleaning Around the Office: Commercial Window Cleaning and More

by Window Cleaning

Spring is a time for renewal and rejuvenation, and this extends to spring cleaning around the office as well. As the days get warmer and the flowers begin to bloom, it’s the perfect time to give your office a thorough deep clean. Just like cleaning in your home, there are many aspects to consider with spring cleaning around the office. A professional cleaning service is just what you need to conquer some of the larger cleaning projects, like commercial window cleaning while others are a bit smaller and your team can likely tackle yourself. 

Commercial Window Cleaning

Clean windows are an essential component of a well-maintained office. Dirty windows can make your office look dull and unkempt, and it can also affect employee productivity. But, a professionally cleaned window brings in natural light that improves the overall mood in the office, as well as reducing eye strain.

Hiring a professional cleaning service is often the best option as they have the necessary equipment and expertise to get the job done efficiently and safely which often includes cleaning at great heights, as well as detail-oriented work that only comes from a professional. 

Carpets and Upholstery

Carpets and upholstery can trap dirt and allergens, which can affect indoor air quality and the health of employees. A deep clean of the carpets and upholstery is an important part of the spring cleaning process. Since both carpets and other upholstery can require special cleaning products, a professional cleaning company will likely be your best bet for ensuring a quality clean. 

Surface Sanitizing 

As spring begins, the cold and flu season quickly turns into a battle against allergies. This makes surface sanitizing a high priority in your spring cleaning around the office. It’s also another fantastic job for a cleaning service that uses the right products to create a safe working environment. 

Desks and Computers

Desks and computers are prime targets for dust and grime. Cleaning these surfaces regularly can help reduce the risk of infection and improve the overall appearance of the workspace. Use a microfiber cloth and a gentle cleaner to remove dust and grime from desks and computers.

Storage Areas

Spring cleaning is a great opportunity to declutter and organize storage areas. Sort through items, discarding those that are no longer needed and reorganizing those that are. This will help create more space and make it easier for everyone to find what they need in a timely manner. Plus, as an added bonus, spending less time in a crowded, cluttered space is a simple way to help improve employee morale and productivity.

HVAC System

The HVAC system is responsible for circulating air throughout the office. Over time, it can accumulate dust and debris, which can negatively impact indoor air quality. Having the HVAC system cleaned and serviced is an important part of the spring cleaning process.

By taking the time to deep clean your office this spring, you can help to improve the health and well-being of your employees, and create a more inviting and productive work environment. So, why not start planning your spring cleaning regimen today, and take the first step towards a cleaner, more productive workplace? Contact the ASF Clean Team and get a quote today!

by Commercial Window Washing

As the holiday season starts drawing to a close, it’s time to get excited about entering into a new year once again. After a long year in 2020 and with 2021 flying by, what is 2022 going to bring? 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?

When you refresh your business for the New Year with cleaning services, you’re not just cleaning a building. You’re making your business shine like new again. You’re inviting your employees and customers into an environment that’s as fresh as the year. 

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:

Every business has a different need when it comes to cleaning the exterior, and you may not know exactly what you need. That’s what the professionals are here for. Just get in touch and we’ll help you figure out exactly what you need.

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.

Prep Your Home for the Holidays with a Fresh Clean

by with No Comment Pressure and Power WashingRoof, Gutter, and Downspout CleaningWindow Cleaning

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.

How to Keep Your Windows from Getting Dusty

by Window Cleaning

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.

How We Get a Chemical-Free Clean

by with No Comment Window Cleaning

“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.

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

by Cleaning Disinfecting and SanitizingWindow Cleaning

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 Sparkling Finish on Your Exterior Windows

by Window Cleaning

Achieving the perfect sparkle and shine to your freshly scrubbed exterior windows is no easy feat. Anyone who has tried to do so on their own before knows it can be a time-consuming and tedious task. Growing up, we would get about halfway through and then be too frustrated to finish well. When we were older, we wanted to find a way to alleviate this burden from people’s lives. So, we created the ASF Clean Team to ensure no one else ever has to suffer through window cleaning again.

How We Get a Sparkling Finish on Your Exterior Windows

We Have the Best Cleaning Solutions

First, we want to find the perfect natural cleaning solution to make your windows glisten. Finding efficient cleaners without chemicals is tough stuff, though, and we have mastered this at ASF Clean Team. When you hire us to clean your windows, you can be confident that we will get the job done 99% of the time with no chemical usage at all! 

Plus, we have all of the professional tools to ensure a streak-free shine. These are not your run-of-the-mill squeegees or old rags. Every item in our toolbelt is designed to leave your windows sparkling when we’re done. 

We Can Reach Those Second-Story Windows

You will likely also need a ladder to reach those second-story windows. This can be dangerous and a little scary. It will be impossible if your ladder isn’t tall enough! 

ASF Clean team is ready to go in this department as well, though. We have made sure that all of our employees are insured and well-trained to be masters at what they do. We even clean the stunning high-rise buildings in the heart of San Francisco. 

We Save You Time

If you attempt to clean all of your exterior windows yourself, you should also be ready to dedicate a few hours to this task, if not the whole day, depending on the size of your home. You’ll be tired and achy, and the time it took you to do it yourself takes away from you getting other important things done. Or just plain relaxing after a long work week!

Did you know that ASF Clean Team can complete most homes in just two to three hours? Can you clean that fast? We aim to save our clients all the time we can. If we are just cleaning the exterior windows of your home, you don’t even have to be at home while we do it! So long as we have access to what you would like cleaned, we will take before and after photos to ensure you are entirely satisfied with the job we do. 

With the holiday season fast approaching, don’t wait too long to get your professional window cleaning booked with us. We will ensure your exterior windows are sparkling clean when we are finished and save you time and effort while we do it. If you want, we can also wholly revitalize the exterior of your home. We provide everything from pressure and power washing to gutter cleaning to cobweb removal. Let us know how we can best serve you today!

How to Tell You’re Getting Top Quality Window Cleaning Service

by Window Cleaning

Whether you’ve got an amazing San Francisco view from your kitchen or a storefront that needs regular window washing, you want to know you’re getting top quality window cleaning. 

Not only will this ensure that your windows are spotless and streak-free, but it will also ensure that your property is well-maintained and that your windows are being cleaned in a safe and professional manner. Here are a few things to look for when determining if you’re getting top quality window cleaning service.

First Impressions are Everything

A good window cleaning service will have a professional appearance and attitude. This means that the window cleaners will be dressed in clean uniforms and will have a friendly and helpful attitude. They should also be able to answer any questions you may have about the cleaning process and should be willing to work with you to create a cleaning schedule that works best for you.

Professional Technicians use Professional Tools 

A top quality window cleaning service will use professional-grade equipment and cleaning solutions. This means that they will use high-quality squeegees, brushes, and cleaning solutions that are specifically designed for cleaning windows. They should also have a variety of tools and equipment to handle different types of windows, including hard-to-reach areas such as skylights and high-rise windows.

Proper Papers Preferred 

Third, a reputable window cleaning service will have insurance and be licensed. This means that they will be covered in case of any accidents or damage that may occur during the cleaning process. It also ensures that the company has met the legal requirements and obtained necessary permits to operate.

Commercial vs. Residential 

When it comes to commercial window cleaning, you should expect a high level of professionalism and efficiency. A commercial window cleaning service should have the experience and equipment necessary to handle large commercial properties, such as office buildings and shopping centers. They should also be able to work around the busy schedules of commercial properties and should be able to provide you with a detailed cleaning plan and schedule.

On the other hand, when it comes to residential window cleaning, you should expect a more personalized service. A residential window cleaning service should take the time to understand your specific needs and should be able to provide you with a customized cleaning plan that meets those needs. A window is more than a pane of glass, there are many nooks, crannies, and surfaces that should be paid attention to for a quality clean. A top quality window cleaning service will pay special attention to the details, and it will show in their finished work. 

At ASF Clean Team, you can be sure you’re getting a top quality window cleaning service, whether you’re a storefront with a reputation to maintain, an office building with high rise windows in need of a restored view of the city, or a residential home looking to bring back the curb appeal. We’re licensed and insured professionals with the equipment and experience to get the job done right. Contact us today to book a quote!
