Janitorial and commercial cleaning leads in San Francisco, CA

The Financial District and the South Financial District around Salesforce Tower hold most of the city's high-rise office space. SoMa (South of Market) has the converted warehouses and newer buildings where tech companies grew up, and the Moscone Center brings conventions and the hotels around Union Square. Civic Center has City Hall, state and federal offices, and the courts.

Mission Bay, built around UCSF's hospital and research campus and the Chase Center, is a life science and medical cluster, and biotech continues down the Peninsula to South San Francisco. UCSF, San Francisco State and the University of San Francisco add campus work. Across the bay, downtown Oakland and Emeryville hold a second set of offices, labs and government buildings.

Retail and restaurants remain a large share of the need, spread across neighborhood corridors like Valencia Street, Chestnut Street and Fillmore Street. Older buildings with small floor plates suit companies that clean several small tenants in one block. Parking and loading are tight in most neighborhoods, so a territory that keeps your crews within a few blocks of each stop saves real time every night.

What changes through the year

San Francisco's cool, foggy summers keep the city damp, so entryways and glass need steady attention through the year. The rainy season from November to March brings wet floors and busy mat service. Big conventions at Moscone, including Dreamforce in the fall, fill hotels and event spaces and create short, heavy demand for cleaning. Wildfire smoke from elsewhere in the state sometimes settles over the bay in late summer and fall.
