The Total Wash Co. runs our restaurant program on that premise: we clean what the health inspector cares about AND what the guest notices on the way in. That means hot-water surface cleaning to lift the cooking grease that migrates from your kitchen exhaust to your back-of-house concrete, degreaser-safe soft wash on siding that a standard pressure wash would strip, gum and graffiti removal on your front walkway, and streak-free exterior window cleaning done before open or after close so your dining room is never disrupted. We're familiar with Dane County food establishment rules, know which chemicals are compatible with your grease trap runoff, and can schedule recurring visits around your busy season — weekly in the summer patio months, biweekly through Badger football Saturdays, monthly in the off-season. Single location or a 6-restaurant group, we bring the same crew, the same chemistry, and the same respect for your dining room aesthetic every single visit.

Grease buildup near dumpsters and service doors is a common write-up — we solve it before the inspector arrives. ### Kitchen hood & exhaust exterior We clean the exterior of your hood system, rooftop grease drip, and surrounding walls. (Interior hood cleaning requires an NFPA-96 certified vendor — we can recommend one.) ### Guest-facing first impressions Streak-free windows, gum-free walkways, and clean patio furniture are table-stakes for a premium dining experience. We schedule pre-opening visits so guests never see us. ### Grease, oil & stain removal Hot-water surface cleaning with food-safe degreaser lifts the deep grease pressure alone won't touch. Safe for decorative concrete, stamped patios, and food-prep-adjacent surfaces.

Interior hood cleaning is regulated by NFPA 96 and requires a certified vendor — we'll refer you to one we trust in Madison. Are your chemicals safe around food prep areas?+ Yes. We use food-safe degreasers and biodegradable detergents for back-of-house restaurant work. All chemistry is rinsed off and surfaces are dry before your kitchen staff returns. We maintain SDS sheets on file for your inspector. Can you clean before opening or after close?+ Yes — most of our restaurant clients schedule us for 5 a.m.–9 a.m. or 11 p.m.–3 a.m. visits. We bring light towers if needed and work around your back-of-house operations. How do you handle grease runoff?+ Surfactants and degreasers are applied dry, then rinsed to containment mats when possible, or directed away from storm drains per Dane County and City of Madison stormwater rules. We never flush grease to storm sewer. Do you offer recurring schedules for busy seasons?+ Yes. Most Madison restaurants go weekly May through September (patio season), biweekly through football Saturdays, and monthly the rest of the year. One contract, one standing invoice, no re-quoting every visit. ## Ready to talk? Site visit within 24 hours. No pressure, no pitch — just a walkthrough and a written scope.
