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. Portage earned its name from the historic portage between the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers and sits about 33 miles north of Madison along Interstate 39\. The city has a unique combination of river influence, historic military and trading post heritage, and a surrounding landscape of wetlands that each affect how quickly homes here accumulate organic growth. Silver Lake and Wisconsin River adjacent properties deal with near constant humidity, aggressive algae blooms on siding, and moss on shaded walkways that return every spring within weeks of snowmelt. Downtown Portage's brick commercial buildings along Cook Street have aged gracefully but benefit enormously from periodic soft washing to counter more than a century of coal soot and modern automotive exhaust. Residential streets mix Queen Anne, foursquare, and Craftsman bungalows with newer ranch homes on the north side. The Fort Winnebago area and the Wauona Trail corridor bring a more rural feel with longer driveways, outbuildings, and heavy tree coverage. The Total Wash Co. travels to Portage on scheduled route days, which lets us keep pricing fair even though we are coming from Madison with full trailer equipment. Serving Downtown Portage, Silver Lake, Wauona Trail, Cook Street, and more. 5-Star Rated Fully Insured Free Quotes [Get Your Free Portage Quote](/instant-quote)[(608) 360-5818](tel:+16083605818) [The Total Wash Promise100% satisfaction guaranteed — or we come back free](/promise) ![Exterior Cleaning in Portage - Photo 1](/images/jobs/res-house-washing-huge-brick-mansion.webp) ![Exterior Cleaning in Portage - Photo 2](/images/jobs/res-house-washing-huge-brick-mansion2.webp) ![Exterior Cleaning in Portage - Photo 3](/images/jobs/res-house-washing-duplexes-cleaning-residential.webp) Portage Areas We Serve:Downtown Portage •Silver Lake •Wauona Trail •Cook Street •Wisconsin River •Fort Winnebago area ## Exterior Cleaning Services in Portage Here's what's included with every exterior cleaning job — no add-ons, no surprises. ### Vinyl Siding Wash Soft wash removes algae, mold, mildew, and oxidation from vinyl siding without damage. ### Brick & Stone Cleaning Low-pressure treatment for brick, natural stone, and manufactured stone surfaces. ### Stucco & EIFS Cleaning Gentle chemical wash for stucco and synthetic stucco (EIFS) without damage to the finish. ### Cedar & Wood Siding Safe soft wash for natural wood siding, cedar shakes, and log homes that won't strip finish. ### Hardie Board / Fiber Cement Cleaning fiber cement siding without stripping paint or damaging the factory finish. ### Soffit, Fascia & Trim Overhead soft wash for soffits, fascia boards, and decorative trim — areas most companies skip. ★ Most Popular ### Roof Cleaning (Soft Wash) Gloeocapsa magma (black streaks), moss, and lichen removal using ZERO pressure — soft wash only. ### Fence & Deck Restoration Wood, vinyl, and composite fence and deck cleaning with optional stain prep. ### Gutter Brightening Remove oxidation and tiger striping from the exterior face of your gutters to restore their original color. ### Concrete Sealing (Add-On) Post-wash concrete sealer application for driveways, patios, and walkways — long-term protection.
