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 Governor's Island, Maple Bluff, WI?
The Total Wash Co. provides premium house washing, window cleaning, stone cleaning, gutter cleaning, and walkway restoration in Maple Bluff — serving Maple Bluff Village, Governor's Island, and Farwell Point. Maple Bluff is a small village of approximately 1,300 residents on the north shore of Lake Mendota, and it is home to some of the most architecturally significant and valuable properties in all of Wisconsin, including the Wisconsin Governor's Residence. We treat every Maple Bluff job as a preservation project. Natural limestone cladding on Governor's Island estates requires pH-neutral chemistry — even slightly acidic or alkaline cleaners will etch the stone permanently. Copper gutters throughout the village need non-reactive treatment to preserve the patina that protects the metal. Farwell Point lakefront homes develop aggressive hard water staining from Lake Mendota spray on windows and stone that standard cleaning equipment cannot remove — we use a deionized water system for glass and targeted mineral-removal chemistry for stone surfaces. We've completed 25+ estate-level jobs in Maple Bluff since 2021, and several clients here are on annual plans. The village's dense hardwood canopy and direct lake exposure create the highest-intensity cleaning challenges in our entire service area. We are fully insured for $2M liability and have experience with multi-story facade work on estate properties.

Exterior Challenges on Governor's Island
Direct Lake Mendota frontage subjects Governor's Island homes to wind-driven lake spray, morning fog, and persistent humidity that accelerates deterioration on all exterior surfaces. The open water exposure means these homes endure more intense freeze-thaw cycling than inland properties. Salt and mineral content in lake spray creates unique staining patterns not seen in non-waterfront locations.
Maple Bluff's elevated position on the north shore of Lake Mendota provides stunning views but also exposes properties to lake-driven wind, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles that are more aggressive than inland locations. Natural stone facades and masonry develop water staining and efflorescence over winter. The dense hardwood canopy throughout the village means gutters require attention at least twice annually — once after spring bloom debris and again after fall leaf drop. We recommend a full exterior assessment each April and proactive scheduling before peak season fills our calendar.
Lakefront Care Tip for Governor's Island
Have your lake-facing elevation cleaned and inspected twice annually—once in spring after ice-out and again in fall before freeze-up. Lake Mendota's wave action throws spray much higher than homeowners realize, depositing minerals on siding, windows, and architectural details that cause cumulative damage if not addressed.
