Join the Opening List →Wauwatosa sits in Milwaukee County directly west of the city of Milwaukee, and it had 48,387 residents at the 2020 census. It feels older and denser than Brookfield next door, with blocks of brick houses, a downtown along the Menomonee River and a major medical campus within its borders.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to the Brookfield area, Wauwatosa will be part of it, with the same menu and a plan shaped around homes of this age.
Wauwatosa's character comes from its early growth. About 29 percent of its homes were built before 1940, and the Washington Highlands neighborhood, designed in 1916 by planner Werner Hegemann, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
The Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, which includes the Medical College of Wisconsin, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and Froedtert Hospital, sits inside the city. Many households here work shifts, which makes a dependable cleaning day, set around a work schedule rather than a nine to five week, especially useful.
Local quarries supplied the cream colored brick and limestone found on many Wauwatosa homes. Inside, the older houses tend to have original hardwood, plaster walls, wood trim and small tiled bathrooms. About 63 percent of the city's homes predate 1960, so these finishes are the rule rather than the exception.
Two-unit buildings make up about 11 percent of the housing, and about 39 percent of occupied homes are rented. That means many Wauwatosa residents live in an upper or lower flat with a shared basement and stairs, and many units change hands at the end of a lease.
Downtown Wauwatosa lies along the Menomonee River, and widespread flash flooding on August 9 and 10, 2025, hit the area hard. Heavy summer storms are the main reason for that risk, since thunderstorms bring most of the Milwaukee area's rain from May through September.
Cleaning visits cannot fix storm damage, and water damage or mold work is outside what TotalCare Cleaning will do. Once a restoration company has dried and repaired a space, a deep clean can help bring the rest of the house back to normal. Between storms, keeping basement floors clear makes it easier to spot water early.
For an owner in an older single family house, a One-Time Deep Clean followed by bi-weekly visits is the usual path, since the first visit works through decades of buildup in window tracks, baseboards and vents. For a renter leaving a flat, the Moving Clean covers the empty unit, inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets included. The older home guide and the move-out guide go deeper on each.
