Surface Cleaning in Baraboo
Professional pressure washing for driveways, patios, decks, and every type of stain.
Stains other companies walk away from? That's where we start. We match the right pressure, nozzle, and chemical treatment to each surface — because concrete, pavers, wood, and composite all need different approaches. Commercial-grade equipment delivers even, streak-free results across your driveway, patio, deck, and walkways in a single visit.
Baraboo sits at the southern edge of the Baraboo Range about 40 miles northwest of Madison and is one of the most architecturally interesting small cities in Wisconsin. The Courthouse Square is ringed by cream city brick commercial buildings that have stood for well over a century and need cautious, pH balanced cleaning to avoid damaging the soft limestone mortar. Residential neighborhoods around the historic Circus World site and Ochsner Park feature stately Queen Anne, Italianate, and Prairie School homes whose exterior wood, stone, and slate elements need specialist treatment. Homes closer to the Baraboo River corridor catch daily mist off the water, which keeps siding, decks, and patios persistently prone to green algae streaks by midsummer. The Highway 12 commercial corridor bringing visitors north toward the Wisconsin Dells generates heavy road film and diesel exhaust residue on retail facades. The Total Wash Co. serves Baraboo as part of our regular northwest circuit, and we are familiar with the soft sandstone, original slate roofing, and delicate wood trim that define so many properties here. We adjust pressure, nozzle selection, and detergent chemistry to protect what makes Baraboo homes unique. Serving Downtown Baraboo, Courthouse Square, Circus World area, Ochsner Park, and more.
What is surface cleaning in Baraboo, WI?
Pressure washing and surface cleaning in Madison, WI covers driveways, patios, decks, pool surrounds, and retaining walls — matching the right pressure and chemistry to each material. I'm Ashton Ferry, owner of The Total Wash Co., and concrete and paver cleaning is one of our most satisfying services: you can see the line between clean and dirty in real time. A 2-car driveway in Madison typically runs $280–$395; a standard patio or deck (200–400 sq ft) runs $295–$445. Madison's freeze-thaw cycle is brutal on concrete — every winter leaves cracks, salt staining, and algae in shaded areas. We see serious algae and mold on driveways and patios in Monona, McFarland, and Stoughton where lots have heavy shade cover. Oil stains, rust from well water or fertilizer, paint overspray, and efflorescence (white mineral deposits on brick) all get specialized pre-treatment before the pressure hits. Commercial-grade walk-behind surface cleaners deliver even, streak-free results — no wand-only zebra stripes. Concrete sealing available same-day after cleaning.

What Baraboo 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.”
Marcus Thompson
Verona, WI
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.”
Jason Keller
Verona, WI
Retaining wall restoration
“Our retaining wall was covered in moss and the steps were black with mold. The transformation was dramatic — it's like having a new landscape feature. Photos don't do it justice.”
