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.

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.

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

Businesses are Reopening

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

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

Families Get to be Reunited

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

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

We’ve Been Fortunate with Our Business and Family

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

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

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

Happy Thanksgiving from ASF Clean Team.

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

The Most Wonderful Window Washing of the Year

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

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

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

Pressure Wash, Power Wash, Soft Washing, Rock

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

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

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

I’m Dreaming of Disinfecting

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

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

All I Want for Christmas is a Clean Business

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

“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.
