I highly recommend their duct cleaning service to anyone looking for reliable work. Included before and after pics. Amazing work!Posted on Google Tim AllenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to share a great experience with a local pro. For our new build, we used Totally Clean for duct cleaning and sealing. They were fantastic to work with—very thorough and used a two-day process to make sure the sealing was done perfectly after the cleaning. It’s one of those 'behind the scenes' steps in building a house that makes a massive difference in utility bills and dust control. 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Google Cheryl WardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James from Totally Clean was thorough, friendly, efficient, affordable and professional. He and his son arrived on time, explained the entire air duct cleaning process and quickly got to work. The technicians treated my home with care and provided me with a tip to keep my dryer vent open. I would recommend Totally Clean to anyone looking for reliable dryer vent cleaning near me.Posted on Google Steve GrafTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great wotk done in an effcient and complete way. Thank you James and Damon.Posted on Google Catherine ChoppaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James/Totally Clean did an exceptional job cleaning the ductwork in my home. We also had the ducts sealed for efficiency and he and his team brought my energy loss ratings down to nearly zero. The best testimonial I can offer is this…my home has one room with a wall of windows that has always been too cold to enjoy during the winter. James made it his focus to ensure that was corrected. I am now able to enjoy this space in my home even on the coldest day. Thank you James. I will 💯 refer you to anyone needing air duct cleaning.Posted on Google Dustin MudrakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We called because after 12 years we were starting to get a lot of dust in the house so we figured we would try a duct cleaning. Once James arrived he was thorough to go through the system and could see we were getting a lot of heat loss throughout the system because of small gaps where duct connections were. He explained a sealant process that fills the gaps and would lower the loss of air. Once I agreed to do that on top of the cleaning, he then was able to find areas of the duct work that were incomplete from when it was installed and repaired them then sealed everything. The process took him 10 hrs or so because of his attention to detail on making sure the system was completely sealed. We instantly could tell we were getting much better airflow out of our air ducts. It was money well spent. It’s nice to see before and after photos along with emailed computer readings of the CFM’s before and after the sealing process. I would recommend requesting to have James Green be your technician, there were no short cuts done by him and he was very thorough.Posted on Google E SchaeferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dryer vent was noticeably clogged inside the machine. I was delighted to find Totally Clean based on positive reviews. After remodeling 4 homes, and having had a rental property, I was no stranger to less than reputable services. James Greene is THE BEST, most personable and up front businessman that I've had the pleasure of working with in a long time. I highly recommend Totally Clean! Photos are before and after.Posted on Google Sandra EricksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Totally Clean provided an excellent air duct cleaning service. The technician's Damon and Chris were professional, courteous and explained everything clearly. The work was thorough and the price was fair. I would definitely use them again for any duct cleaning needs. Also my dryer vent was pointed out to keep clean because of fires. Awesome company, consider using them. Great people😀
How We Remove Mold at the Source
No scare tactics and no guesswork. Here is exactly what happens when we handle mold in your ducts.
1. We Inspect and Tell You the Truth
We look first and tell you honestly whether it is mold or just dust. If you do not need the work, we say so.
2. Negative Air + HEPA
A truck-mounted vacuum pulling 5,000+ CFM puts your system under negative pressure, capturing everything in HEPA filtration, never back into your rooms.
3. Source Removal
175 PSI compressed-air tools break the rooted growth loose from the duct walls so the vacuum carries it out of your home.
4. Clean Air, No Recurrence
With the mold and its moisture source gone, the musty smell goes too, and it stays gone.
When It's Mold, and When It's Not
A fake mold scare is the oldest upsell in this trade. We built this company as the antidote to it. Here is the difference you should expect.
When a "$99" Crew Cries Mold
- A scare used to pad a low-ball bill
- "Mold" called on what is really dust
- A four-figure upsell pushed on the spot
- No proof, just pressure to decide today
The Totally Clean Way
- We inspect and tell you the truth
- If it is only dust, we say so
- If it is mold, we show you the proof
- One flat price, quoted before we start

Still Deciding? Here Are the Honest Answers
The questions every homeowner and property manager asks before they call.
- Is it actually dangerous? A real risk for kids, seniors, and asthma sufferers, but never a reason to panic or be rushed.
- Can't I just bleach it? No. Bleach sits on the surface while the roots and the moisture stay, so it comes right back.
- Is this a mold scare to upsell me? The opposite. If it is only dust, we tell you and charge the flat rate we quoted.
- How long does it take? Most homes take a few hours, done once and done right.
- What will it cost? A flat rate quoted up front after we see the system, with no $99 bait.
Have a different question? Ask us directly, no pressure.
Honest Answers About Mold in Your Air Ducts
Is black mold in air ducts dangerous?
It can cause ongoing congestion, coughing, and irritated eyes because the spores circulate through your airflow. Children, older adults, and anyone with asthma can react more strongly. Worth solving promptly, but not a reason to accept a high-pressure, same-day pitch.
How do I know if I have mold in my air ducts?
Look for a musty smell that strengthens when the system runs, dark or fuzzy growth around vents and grilles, and symptoms that ease when you leave the house. No single sign is proof, but together they are reason to have it inspected.
Can you really remove mold from air ducts?
Yes, but only by physically removing it. The NADCA Source Removal Standard uses truck-mounted vacuums, HEPA filtration, and compressed-air agitation to pull the debris out and capture it outside your home. Removing the source and the moisture is what keeps it from returning.
Does air duct cleaning get rid of mold?
A true source-removal cleaning removes the mold and debris from the system, which clears the musty smell and the circulating spores. For a lasting fix the moisture behind it, like AC condensation or leaky ducts, also has to be addressed. Surface sprays alone do not, because they do not reach where the mold roots.
What does it cost to remove mold from air ducts?
We use flat-rate, upfront pricing, so the price we quote is the price you pay. The cost depends on the size of your system and the extent of the growth, which is why we quote after we see it rather than advertise a low-ball price. Request a free quote any time at (262) 542-4000.
How often should I have my ducts checked for mold?
For most Southeast Wisconsin homes, a duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years keeps buildup and moisture in check, sooner if you have had a flood, a leak, or visible growth. If you smell must or see dark spots before then, have it looked at.
