What is seasonal services like in Cherokee Marsh, North Madison, WI?
The Total Wash Co. provides house washing, pressure washing, gutter cleaning, and window cleaning throughout North Madison — serving Sherman, Northport, Cherokee Marsh, Blackhawk, Mendota Hills, and Lake View Heights. The north side's proximity to Cherokee Marsh and the Warner Park wetlands creates moisture conditions that drive faster-than-average algae growth on homes throughout the corridor. Sherman neighborhood's post-war ranches along Northport Drive and Troy Drive frequently develop heavy green algae on north- and east-facing walls by mid-June. Blackhawk and Mendota Hills properties sit on larger lots where mature landscaping creates prolonged shade — we routinely find moss establishing on concrete walkways and patio surfaces in these neighborhoods before homeowners notice it from the street. Lake View Heights catches prevailing south winds off Lake Mendota, which deposit pollen and organic particulates on rooflines and upper siding every spring. We have long-standing annual plan customers throughout North Madison who appreciate consistent service without having to call every year. Our route through the north side runs regularly, which lets us keep pricing competitive while still bringing professional-grade equipment and $2M liability coverage to every job.

Cherokee Marsh homes border one of Madison's largest wetland conservancies, creating unique cleaning needs. We understand how marsh-generated humidity, insect populations, and organic sediment affect exterior surfaces in this nature-adjacent community.
From Cherokee Marsh to neighborhoods throughout North Madison, we bring professional cleaning services right to your door.
The marsh produces dense clouds of gnats, mosquitoes, and midges during summer evenings that splatter on windows and light-colored siding. Decomposing wetland vegetation also releases tannins carried by rain that stain gutters, downspouts, and concrete surfaces brown.
Cherokee Marsh and the surrounding wetlands produce heavy moisture and pollen loads that settle on homes throughout the warmer months. The north side's open exposure to wind off Lake Mendota pushes rain and debris against east-facing surfaces, creating streaking patterns that are especially visible on light-colored siding. Warner Park area homes with mature landscaping see aggressive gutter fill in October and November. We recommend scheduling exterior cleaning in late April after snowmelt and again in early fall before the heaviest leaf drop.
Keep exterior lighting angled away from your home's siding—lights attract marsh insects whose remains create acidic stains on paint and vinyl. Redirecting fixtures just a few feet outward significantly reduces insect accumulation on walls.

“Experience with snow removal has been top notch! We were worried we wouldn't find someone in time this year but Ashton was prompt and efficient.”

Paver patio saved with the right equipment
“Ashton & team did a great job at my home. After I struggled to clean my paver patio, they came with not only the experience - but the right equipment to do the job. It now looks fantastic! And they were mindful to not go too aggressive, which can damage pavers. Ashton also tackled my front step (concrete) and it's never been cleaner - night & day difference. Highly recommended!”
