Today we're top-rated — but the approach hasn't changed. ## Our Story We started The Total Wash because we kept hearing the same story from Madison homeowners: "The last company didn't show up." Or they showed up late, did a mediocre job, and disappeared. We figured if we just showed up on time, did thorough work, and actually communicated — we'd have more business than we could handle. Turns out we were right. What started as a small window cleaning operation in 2022 has grown into a full-service team handling everything from residential windows to commercial parking garages. We've served over 2,000 properties across the Madison metro area — and we're just getting started. The core values haven't changed: show up when you say you will, do the job right, charge fairly, and treat every property like it's your own. That's The Total Wash Promise — and it's why we have a 5.0-star rating after 200+ reviews. ## Our Core Values ### Excellence We re-clean any spot you're not happy with — same day, no charge. ### Trust $2M insured, bonded, background-checked. Your property is in safe hands. ### Team Same crew every visit — they'll know your property, your preferences, and your name. ### Community We live here too. Our kids go to your schools. Our reputation is our livelihood. ![Entry porch cleaning by The Total Wash Co.](/images/jobs/res-house-washing-nice-residential-front-door-entry.webp) ## Why Madison Chooses Us Owner-operated since 2022 2,000+ properties served across Dane County Fully licensed, bonded, and insured 100% satisfaction guarantee Eco-friendly cleaning solutions Professional, uniformed technicians On-time, reliable service Free, no-obligation quotes ![Professional window cleaning equipment](/images/web/equipment-interior-window-cleaning-tools.webp) ![Google](https://www.google.com/favicon.ico)Google Reviews 5 Based on 200 reviews JW Jennifer Walsh Middleton, WI ![Google](https://www.google.com/favicon.ico) Showed up when others didn't > "After being stood up by two other companies, The Total Wash actually showed up exactly when they said they would.

MT Marcus Thompson Verona, WI ![Google](https://www.google.com/favicon.ico) Fixed another contractor's mistakes > "We hired a cheaper company for pressure washing and they damaged our deck stain and left streaks everywhere.

C&JA Carol & Jim Anderson Sun Prairie, WI ![Google](https://www.google.com/favicon.ico) Treated property like their own > "What impressed us most was how carefully they moved our patio furniture and protected our landscaping.

NC Nancy Curtin Madison, WI ![Google](https://www.google.com/favicon.ico) Great communication start to finish > "Ashton and a partner arrived to clean out our impossibly high gutters.

MT Michelle Torres Waunakee, WI ![Google](https://www.google.com/favicon.ico) Composite deck expertise > "They pressure washed our Trex composite deck without any damage.
