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.
Serving the Winnequah neighborhood in Monona and surrounding areas.

What is exterior cleaning like in Winnequah, Monona, WI?
Winnequah is Monona's most sought-after neighborhood, lining the north shore of Lake Monona along Winnequah Road, Birchwood Avenue, and Lake Drive. The lake is not just a backdrop here — it actively determines the cleaning schedule for every home in the neighborhood. Lake Monona humidity keeps north-facing siding wet well past noon on clear summer days, and black algae establishes on these surfaces within four to six weeks of warm weather arriving on untreated properties. The Total Wash Co. has been cleaning Winnequah homes since our earliest days in 2021, and we have several properties in the neighborhood on annual spring plans that have been renewing for three consecutive years. Many Winnequah homeowners have found that skipping even one year results in a dramatically deeper cleaning job the following season as the biology establishes more firmly in the surface texture. We carry $2M liability insurance and are fully equipped for lakefront cleaning logistics including water management on properties adjacent to the shoreline. Winnequah Park and the lakefront bike path make this one of the most visible and well-maintained neighborhoods in Monona — we take the standard of results seriously.

Winnequah is the heart of Monona, with tree-lined streets of charming mid-century homes just steps from Lake Monona's shores. Our team understands the unique needs of lakefront and near-lake properties—from moisture-driven algae to mineral deposits from lake-effect humidity. We help Winnequah homeowners maintain the timeless curb appeal that makes this neighborhood one of the most desirable in the Madison area.


From Winnequah Park to neighborhoods throughout Monona, we bring professional cleaning services right to your door.
Lake Monona's proximity creates a high-humidity microclimate that accelerates mildew, algae, and rust staining on Winnequah's mid-century exteriors. Many homes feature original 1950s-60s materials like aluminum siding, painted brick, and wood trim that require gentle handling. Mature boulevard trees produce heavy seasonal debris that overwhelms gutters and stains walkways with tannins.
Monona is nearly surrounded by water, creating the highest sustained humidity levels of any community in our service area. Lake Monona and the Yahara River corridor keep the air moisture-rich from May through October, driving algae growth on every exposed surface. Winnequah and Bridge Road homes closest to the water see the most aggressive organic staining, often requiring cleaning sooner than properties even a few blocks inland. We recommend annual soft washing by mid-May and gutter cleaning in late October before lakefront ice formation begins.
Homes within two blocks of Lake Monona accumulate moisture-related staining twice as fast as inland properties. Budget for biannual exterior cleaning to stay ahead of the algae and keep your mid-century gem looking its best. Spring and early fall cleanings provide the best results in Winnequah's lakeside climate.
