What is surface cleaning like in Highlands, West Madison, WI?
The Total Wash Co. provides pressure washing, soft washing, window cleaning, and gutter cleaning throughout West Madison — serving Nakoma, Westmorland, Dudgeon-Monroe, Vilas, and the Highlands neighborhood. West Madison's concentration of mid-century Colonials and Tudor Revival homes along Nakoma Road and Odana Road represent some of the most character-rich properties we clean in the entire city. The UW Arboretum's edge generates year-round leaf fall and moisture conditions that keep Vilas and Dudgeon-Monroe gutters packed solid well before Halloween, and the dense oak and maple canopy in Westmorland means north-facing siding stays wet enough for algae to establish within weeks of warm weather. We've been running annual house wash routes through the Monroe Street corridor since 2021 — these homes respond beautifully to soft washing, and the before/after difference on weathered Westmorland aluminum siding is dramatic. The Highlands and Sunset Village neighborhoods have more vinyl and fiber cement construction from the 1980s and 1990s that develops pollen haze every spring. Our spring soft wash service in West Madison books fast — we recommend scheduling before April.

What Customers Say About Our Surface Cleaning
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!”
