We have increased our steam cleaning capacity! 

We have finally secured a local parking spot for our truck and, through some savings, have hired an extra cleaning ambassador so we can steam clean now 4-5 days a week! We’ve been working hard to get this done, you will see Henri out with the steam cleaner most every day now. This means we are more available for standard sidewalk cleaning and also spot cleaning and urgent calls. Call/text 415-471-7536. This is a temporary fix …(read more) and we will be evaluating the results of steam cleaning 4-5 days a week versus 1 – 3 times a week. The Castro/Upper Market is a large district, so this does not mean your sidewalk will get cleaned every week, but we have increased our capacity! (click to our cleaning report).
