Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

LuxWash delivers a complete range of exterior cleaning services engineered to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your Apple Creek property. Our crew have expertise in both power washing techniques for hard surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for sensitive materials that could be harmed by high water pressure.

Siding Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with environmentally safe cleaning solutions to safely remove contaminants, and other biological matter from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike conventional pressure washing, which relies on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to strip off grime, soft washing lets the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the ideal method for sensitive surfaces including vinyl, fiber cement siding, EIFS, painted surfaces, and stone veneer.

The environmental factors in our area fosters perfect environments for biological growth on home exteriors. These growths not only hurt your home's appearance but can actually cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service removes these growths at the root, destroying the spores and inhibiting recontamination. Most homes in our service area should have professional soft washing every 1-2 years, depending on factors like sun exposure, landscaping, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we clean with soft washing:

  • Vinyl exterior and aluminum
  • Hardie board and fiber cement siding
  • Painted exteriors and trim
  • Brick and block surfaces
  • Exterior stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
  • Stone veneer and limestone
  • Wood shake and wood shingle siding

Roof Soft Washing Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not debris or residue. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a species of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Without treatment, this algae growth causes premature shingle deterioration, reducing your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to costly replacement years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the low-pressure roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Power washing should never be used on shingle roofs because it can strip protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes leaks and structural damage. Our low-pressure application delivers specialized cleaning solutions that kill organic growth without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see remarkable results. Ugly discoloration disappear, exposing the actual shade of your shingles. Even better, the treatment kills organic growth completely, providing long-term protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Wayne County should receive professional soft washing about every 5 years, though homes with significant canopy may require additional treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

  • Asphalt shingle roofs (standard and designer shingles)
  • Natural cedar and wood shingle roofs
  • Natural slate and tile roofs
  • Metal roofing systems
  • Flat roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen)

Hardscape Cleaning

Concrete driveways, sidewalks, outdoor living spaces, and other flatwork surfaces are resilient enough to withstand high-pressure washing, making them perfect for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete collects dirt, oil stains, rust stains, tire marks, automotive fluids, green growth, and stubborn buildup that normal hose rinsing cannot remove. Our professional pressure washing equipment delivers water at the ideal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to extract embedded contaminants from concrete pores without damaging the surface.

For Wayne County driveways and concrete surfaces, we use industrial surface cleaners that provide even cleaning coverage without the zebra stripes that standard pressure washing nozzles can leave behind. This commercial equipment allows us to clean large areas effectively while delivering reliably pristine results across the entire surface.

Hardscape cleaning services include:

  • Driveway pressure washing and oil spot treatment
  • Sidewalk and pathway restoration
  • Patio and pool surround restoration
  • Garage cleaning
  • Landscape wall cleaning
  • Brick paver and paving stone cleaning
  • Stamped concrete cleaning

Protective Sealing Services

After cleaning your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to protect your investment and extend the life of your hardscaping. Concrete sealers establish a protective barrier that blocks moisture, and other contaminants, making maintenance easier and eliminating damage from ice expansion that are frequent during our winters. Sealed concrete also resists staining, meaning accidents and tire marks clean up fast instead of penetrating the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that soak into the concrete for invisible protection and film-forming sealers that create a wet-look or matte finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your surface, usage, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Washing and Restoration

Decks and Trex decking require routine cleaning to protect their beauty and condition. In Wayne County's climate, decks are exposed to weather, and temperature fluctuations that foster mold, mildew, and algae growth. Without cleaning, these growths deteriorate wood fibers, causing fading, decay, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service removes surface contaminants and preps your deck for refinishing or sealing. For wood decks made from treated pine, natural cedar, or California redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that get results without harming wood grain or fuzzing excessively. PVC and Azek materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians adapt techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

  • Wood deck cleaning and rejuvenation
  • Composite deck cleaning
  • Sealer and sealer prep
  • Mold and mildew elimination
  • Green growth and biological contamination elimination

Fence Restoration Services

Your fence is often the initial element visitors observe about your property, and a dirty, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's entire curb appeal. Whether you have a privacy fence, PVC fence, metal or ornamental iron, chain link, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to pristine condition.

Wood fences in Wayne County are particularly prone to algae, mold, and mildew due to our humid climate and precipitation. Our fence cleaning service removes these contaminants while maintaining the wood's condition. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, ensuring optimal adhesion and extended results.

Fences we clean:

  • Wooden fences (redwood)
  • Plastic fencing
  • Ornamental and wrought iron fences
  • Wire fencing
  • Post and rail fencing

Gutter Cleaning and Exterior Gutter Cleaning

Blocked gutters cause water to overflow and pool around your foundation, leading to water intrusion, structural issues, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service extracts organic matter, roofing debris, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, guaranteeing proper water flow away from your home.

In addition to interior gutter cleaning, we offer exterior gutter cleaning services that remove the dark lines and discoloration that appear on the outside of gutters. These stains are caused by oxidation and adhesion of grime and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our professional gutter brightening solutions dissolve these bonds, restoring your gutters to their like-new bright or colored finish.

Our Proven Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a methodical approach designed to deliver outstanding results while preserving your property. Here is what you can look forward to when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Apple Creek:

Step 1: No-Cost On-Site Evaluation and Estimate

We kick off with a comprehensive inspection of your property to assess cleaning needs, identify any areas requiring special attention, and determine the ideal cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is individual, we prefer to provide estimates on-site rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you accurate pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your questions and expectations.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take precautions to preserve your property. This includes covering outdoor furniture, securing windows and doors, wetting down plants and landscaping to prevent damage from cleaning solutions, and marking any areas that require special care. We also trial cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with different surface types.

Step 3: Thorough Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the correct technique. Soft washing involves delivering our eco-friendly cleaning solution at low pressure, allowing it to work and destroy organic contaminants, then rinsing with low-pressure water. Pressure washing uses higher PSI for hard surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners guaranteeing even coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly check results and fine-tune techniques as needed.

Step 4: Thorough Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a thorough rinse of all treated surfaces and nearby areas. We complete a crystal-clear rinse on windows and glass surfaces to avoid water spots. Lastly, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure every area meets our exacting standards.

Step 5: Satisfaction Check and Satisfaction Confirmation

If you are home during service, we invite you to walk through the completed work with us. We want you to see the results and confirm your total satisfaction before we consider the job finished. If any area falls short of your expectations, we handle it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Superior Over Pressure Washing for Delicate Surfaces

Many homeowners think that more PSI equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. High-pressure washing is great for resilient surfaces like cement, masonry, and specific stone. However, using high pressure to delicate materials causes serious damage:

  • Vinyl: High pressure can break siding panels, force water into siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
  • Natural wood: Excessive pressure splinters wood fibers, fuzzes, and can gouge soft wood species.
  • Shingles: Pressure washing removes protective granules, severely cutting roof lifespan.
  • Paint: High pressure strips paint, necessitating costly repainting.
  • Exterior stucco: Pressure can penetrate stucco and compromise the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing solves these problems by allowing cleaning chemistry do the work instead of relying on brute force. Our soft wash solutions are specifically formulated to eliminate organic growth at the cellular level. The result is a more thorough, extended clean that does not return as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you pressure wash mold and algae, you may eliminate the surface contamination, but spores remain deep in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms totally, stopping rapid regrowth.

Addressing Northeast Ohio's Unique Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the middle of NE Ohio, an area characterized by hot humid weather, cold winters, and significant rainfall throughout the year. This climate creates particular challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humidity levels, particularly during growing season, create optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew growth. Homes with limited sun exposure, dense canopy, or nearness to bodies of water experience faster organic growth. The dark staining you see on siding, roofs, and concrete throughout Wayne County is not just ugly; it is active growth constantly degrading and degrading your property's surfaces.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Cold months subject exterior surfaces to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into concrete and wood like concrete and wood, then grows as it freezes, causing damage, flaking, and problems over time. Routine maintenance removes material and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide enhanced protection against water intrusion.

Natural Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's natural setting means abundant trees, which drop organic debris, and organic debris that build up on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and provides nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes adjacent to deciduous and evergreen trees require additional cleaning to avoid buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Our area and surrounding Wayne County communities are situated in an farming region. Dust from agriculture, country roads, and plowing deposits on exterior surfaces, mixing with moisture to create stubborn grime. This is particularly noticeable on pale or light-colored siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

How often should I have my house soft washed?

During your estimate, we can evaluate your specific situation and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.

Beyond being unsightly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to deteriorate faster by trapping moisture and inhibiting proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment destroys this bacteria 100%, returning your roof's appearance and halting further damage.
