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.

What is exterior cleaning like in Eastmorland, East Madison, WI?
Eastmorland is one of Madison's most beloved east side neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets and well-preserved 1940s bungalows, Cape Cods, and ranch homes east of Cottage Grove Road and Buckeye Road. The neighborhood's mature oak and maple canopy is stunning in fall but traps moisture against north-facing siding well into the afternoon every summer day, creating ideal conditions for green algae to establish on vinyl, aluminum, and painted wood surfaces by mid-June. The Total Wash Co. has been cleaning Eastmorland homes regularly since 2021. We find that annual spring soft washing — scheduled before the peak pollen surge in April — keeps these mid-century homes looking their best all season. Gutters in Eastmorland fill fast: elms and oaks shed seed pods and early leaves by September, and homeowners who wait until October often find downspouts already blocked. We also do window cleaning for several Eastmorland residents who want the full exterior refreshed before spring hosting season. Every job here gets our standard $2M insured service. Eastmorland's tight setbacks mean we often work around close neighbors and shared fences — we're careful about water management on every property.

Eastmorland sits between Lake Monona and Olbrich Park, exposing homes to elevated lake-effect humidity that accelerates mildew on siding. Our team knows that these post-war bungalows and Cape Cods need gentle low-pressure washing to protect their original trim details.


From Olbrich Botanical Gardens to neighborhoods throughout East Madison, we bring professional cleaning services right to your door.
Lake Monona's proximity generates persistent moisture that fosters black mold streaks on gutters and fascia boards. The neighborhood's signature lilac hedges and garden beds also produce organic debris that stains window sills and foundation walls.
The east side sits in a natural bowl between Lake Monona and the Starkweather Creek corridor, trapping humidity that accelerates algae growth on north-facing siding and shaded walkways. Spring pollen from the dense tree canopy around Olbrich settles heavily on windows and gutters. Fall leaf drop is aggressive in Eastmorland and Marquette, and gutters here should be cleaned by mid-November to prevent ice dam formation during Madison's harsh winters.
After visiting Olbrich Botanical Gardens, take a look at your own home's exterior—lake-adjacent properties benefit from biannual window cleaning to combat mineral spotting from moisture-laden air blowing off Lake Monona.
The useful fact about Eastmorland is not its age but its cladding: about 83% of the 1,544 assessed properties in Eastmorland are clad in aluminum or vinyl. That matters because vinyl panels hang loose rather than seal, so pressure driven up under a lap seam goes into the wall cavity, not down the wall. 77% of Eastmorland's 1,544 assessed homes keep everything on one story too, which is why glass, gutters and fascia all sit within reach from the ground, which keeps crews off ladders and visits quick. All of it argues for patience: chemistry first, pressure only where the surface earns it.
