Total Chalaco is a professional Peruvian football club based in Callao. The club currently plays in the Peruvian league tournament named Copa Perú. The club used to be known as Total Clean F.B.C., and played in Arequipa at the Estadio Mariano Melgar. As Total Clean, they won the Copa Peru in 2006 and were promoted to the first division. They were relegated to the second division in 2007 but quickly ascended to the first division for 2009. The club was in a large amount of debt and sold 51% of the club to the vice-president of Club Atlético Chalaco. The club was renamed as Total Chalaco and since the buyout the club has relocated to Callao.

The club was created in 2003 by a local laundry of Arequipa, named Total Clean. At first the team was only made up of employees and owners of the laundry. However, when the team reached a more competitive level, the owner of the laundry, Felix Enciso, scouted the Arequipean league to find more competitive players. His efforts were rewarded with the club playing in the Peruvian First Division. They were relegated from the First Division in 2007.
They were champions of the Segunda División Peruana in 2008, returning to the first division for 2009. Due to heavy financial problems, the club sold 51% of the club to Atletico Chalaco's vice-president. It is illegal for a club to buy its way into the first division, therefore Total Clean could not be renamed as Atletico Chalaco. Hence, the commercial name Total Chalaco was used. If Atletico Chalaco were to reach the first division, the directors would be forced to sell one of the clubs.
In the 2010 Torneo Descentralizado, the club was relegated to the 2011 Segunda División Peruana.
