Exterior Cleaning in Downtown Madison

Complete house washing and soft wash services to restore your home's curb appeal.

Most pressure washing companies blast your siding and hope for the best. We do the opposite. Our soft wash method applies biodegradable solutions at low pressure, killing algae, mold, and mildew at the root without risking damage to your siding, paint, or landscaping. The result: your home looks years younger, and it stays cleaner longer because we treat the cause — not just the surface.

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.
