1

2
Pre-Treat Stains
Apply degreasers, rust removers, or algaecide to stubborn stains and let them dwell for maximum effect.

McDaniel ParkLower Yahara River Trail
Cleaning Challenges in the Elvehjem Area
Elvehjem's established 1970s-80s housing stock includes aging siding, original windows, and mature landscaping that all require careful, experienced cleaning approaches. Many homes have accumulated decades of environmental buildup that needs professional-grade treatment to address properly.
McFarland sits in the Yahara River corridor between Lake Monona and Lake Waubesa, creating elevated humidity levels throughout the warm season. Properties near the Lower Yahara River Trail and Indian Mound area see the heaviest moisture exposure. The mature tree canopy throughout established neighborhoods produces aggressive leaf drop in fall, making gutter cleaning essential before winter. Road salt from the Beltline and Highway 51 deposits corrosive residue on homes near major corridors through winter. We recommend spring cleaning by mid-May and gutter service by mid-November.
Seasonal Cleaning Tips for Elvehjem Homes
Elvehjem's aging concrete driveways and sidewalks look dramatically better after pressure washing — it's one of the highest-impact improvements for these established homes. Pair a driveway cleaning with a soft wash to make a 40-year-old home look 20 years younger.
What McFarland Customers Say About Surface Cleaning
Fixed another contractor's mistakes
“We hired a cheaper company for pressure washing and they damaged our deck stain and left streaks everywhere. The Total Wash came in, fixed everything, and made our deck look better than new. They explained exactly what went wrong and how they'd prevent it. True professionals.”

Eliminated dangerous algae
“Pool deck was covered in algae and genuinely dangerous — someone was going to slip. They cleaned it in 2 hours and now it's safe for the kids again. Should have called sooner.”
