Your building tells a story before anyone walks in the door. We clean every exterior surface — facades, awnings, signage, loading docks, drive-throughs, and dumpster pads — matching the right method to each material. Soft wash for sensitive finishes, high-pressure for industrial surfaces. One crew, one visit, every surface handled. Downtown Madison sits on the narrow Isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, which makes it one of the most unique urban cores in the Midwest and one of the most challenging environments for keeping buildings clean. The constant lake moisture from both sides accelerates algae and mildew growth on everything from the historic limestone facades around Capitol Square to the brick row homes on Mansion Hill. State Street's mix of commercial storefronts, restaurants, and upper-floor apartments all deal with urban grime, exhaust residue, and seasonal buildup that regular rain simply cannot handle. Over in First Settlement and James Madison Park, some of the oldest residential architecture in the city needs gentle, expert soft washing to preserve original materials. The Total Wash Co. serves both commercial property managers and residential homeowners throughout the downtown core, navigating tight lots, shared walls, and street-level logistics that other companies shy away from. If you own property anywhere between the Capitol dome and the Memorial Union Terrace, we know the terrain, we know the challenges, and we deliver results that hold up in Madison's demanding four-season climate. Serving Capitol Square, Isthmus, State Street, Mansion Hill, and more. 5-Star Rated Fully Insured Free Quotes [Get Your Free Downtown Madison Quote](/instant-quote)[(608) 360-5818](tel:+16083605818) [The Total Wash Promise100% satisfaction guaranteed — or we come back free](/promise) ![Exterior Washing in Downtown Madison - Photo 1](/images/jobs/com-building-exterior-comercial-aparmtent-seating-patio-area-being-cleaned.webp) ![Exterior Washing in Downtown Madison - Photo 2](/images/jobs/com-building-exterior-homegoods-wide-angle-comercial.webp) ![Exterior Washing in Downtown Madison - Photo 3](/images/jobs/com-building-exterior-kwik-trip-completed-windows.webp) ![Exterior Washing in Downtown Madison - Photo 4](/images/jobs/com-apartment-courtyard-building-washing-commercial.webp) Downtown Madison Areas We Serve:Capitol Square •Isthmus •State Street •Mansion Hill •James Madison Park •First Settlement ## Exterior Washing Services in Downtown Madison Here's what's included with every exterior washing job — no add-ons, no surprises. ### Building Facade Washing Complete exterior wash for brick, precast, metal panel, and EIFS commercial buildings. ★ Most Popular ### Soft Wash for Sensitive Materials Low-pressure treatment for painted surfaces, EIFS, and stucco that won't damage the finish. ### Awning & Canopy Cleaning Fabric, metal, and polycarbonate awning and canopy restoration for storefronts and entrances. ### Signage Cleaning Monument signs, channel letters, pylon signs, and window graphics cleaned without damage. ### Loading Dock Degreasing Heavy-duty degreasing for loading docks, ramps, and receiving areas — slip prevention and sanitation. ### Graffiti Removal Rapid chemical and pressure removal for spray paint, marker, and etching on all surface types. ### Drive-Through Lane Cleaning Menu board, speaker box, lane surface, and ordering area cleaning for QSR and bank drive-throughs. ### Dumpster Pad & Enclosure Degrease and sanitize dumpster pads, enclosure walls, and gates — reduce odors and pests.

Note tenant and business-hour restrictions. 2 ### Safety Setup Cones, barriers, and signage to protect pedestrians and vehicles. Coordinate with building management. 3 ### Pre-Treat & Wash Apply cleaning solutions, let dwell, and wash top-to-bottom with appropriate pressure for each surface. 4 ### Detail Areas Signage, awnings, loading docks, and dumpster pads get targeted treatment with specialized equipment. 5 ### Completion Report Walk the property with your contact, document results, and schedule the next maintenance visit. ## Why Downtown Property Owners Choose Us Downtown Madison presents unique challenges that suburban cleaning companies are not equipped to handle. Tight lot access on the Isthmus, shared walls between row homes, pedestrian traffic on State Street, and historic preservation requirements on Mansion Hill buildings all demand a crew that knows how to work in an urban environment. We coordinate with property managers, navigate loading zones, and schedule around business hours for commercial storefronts. Our soft wash system uses contained runoff collection when required, and we carry the insurance coverage that downtown property managers require. From Capitol Square office buildings to James Madison Park residences, we deliver results without disrupting the neighborhood. - Maintain professional property appearance - Safe for all building materials - Minimize business disruption - Graffiti removal same-day response - Scheduled maintenance available - Fully insured for commercial work ![After](/images/web/after_ba-siding.webp) ![Before](/images/web/before_ba-siding.webp) Before After ### Proudly Serving Downtown Madison From Wisconsin State Capitol to neighborhoods throughout Downtown Madison, we bring professional cleaning services right to your door.
