Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

LuxWash offers a full range of exterior cleaning services tailored to handle every surface and cleaning challenge on your Wayne County property. Our crew are trained in both pressure washing techniques for durable surfaces and soft washing methods for delicate materials that could be damaged by excessive water pressure.

Siding Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water application combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to thoroughly remove organic growth, and other biological matter from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to blast away grime, soft washing lets the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the ideal method for vulnerable surfaces including vinyl, James Hardie siding, EIFS, painted wood, and cultured stone.

The environmental factors in our area produces ideal conditions for algae, mold, and mildew growth on home exteriors. These organisms not only diminish your home's appearance but can actually cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths at the source, killing the spores and inhibiting quick return. Most homes in our service area need professional soft washing every 12-24 months, depending on factors like tree cover, foliage, and the orientation your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

• Vinyl exterior and aluminum siding
• James Hardie and fiber cement siding
• Painted wood siding and trim
• Brick exteriors and masonry surfaces
• Exterior stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Stone veneer and limestone
• Cedar and wood shingle siding

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The black streaks you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not debris or tree sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that consumes the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Without treatment, this infestation causes accelerated wear, shortening your roof's lifespan and likely leading to expensive repairs years before necessary.

LuxWash uses the soft wash roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Pressure washing should never be used on shingle roofs because it can remove protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and push water underneath shingles where it causes structural problems and structural damage. Our low-pressure application delivers commercial cleaning solutions that destroy organic growth without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Dark stains are eliminated, uncovering the original color of your shingles. More importantly, the treatment eliminates organic growth permanently, providing long-term protection. Most shingle roofs in Wayne County benefit from professional soft washing roughly every half decade, though homes with heavy tree coverage may require more frequent treatment.

Roof types we service:

• Architectural shingles (3-tab and dimensional shingles)
• Cedar shake and wood shingle roofs
• Natural slate and tile roofs
• Standing seam systems
• Flat roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Hardscape Cleaning

Concrete driveways, walkways, patios, and other hardscape surfaces are tough enough to withstand high-pressure washing, making them ideal candidates for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete gathers grime and stains, automotive fluids, algae, and ground-in grime that standard water rinsing cannot remove. Our industrial pressure washing equipment delivers water at the perfect PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to extract embedded contaminants from concrete pores without damaging the surface.

For Apple Creek driveways and concrete surfaces, we use industrial surface cleaners that provide consistent cleaning coverage without the striping patterns that wand pressure washing wands can leave behind. This professional equipment allows us to clean large areas quickly while delivering consistently perfect results across the entire surface.

Hardscape cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and degreasing
• Path and walkway cleaning
• Patio and deck washing
• Garage cleaning
• Landscape wall cleaning
• Brick paver and hardscape cleaning
• Textured concrete cleaning

Driveway Sealing Services

After restoring your concrete surfaces, consider adding our concrete sealing service to protect your investment and maximize the life of your flatwork. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that resists moisture, and other contaminants, making maintenance simpler and stopping damage from winter weather that are typical during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also resists staining, meaning spills and tire marks wipe away easily instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that penetrate the concrete for natural-look protection and film-forming sealers that create a wet-look or matte finish for upgraded appearance. Our technicians will suggest the best sealer type based on your surface, needs, and style.

Deck Cleaning Services

Outdoor decks and synthetic decking require regular cleaning to maintain their appearance and strength. In Apple Creek's climate, decks are exposed to the elements, and seasonal changes that encourage organic growth. Left alone, these growths damage wood fibers, causing fading, rot, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service eliminates surface contaminants and prepares your deck for refinishing or sealing. For wood decks made from PT wood, cedar, or natural redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that get results without harming wood grain or fuzzing excessively. Composite and vinyl decking materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to preserve manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Wood deck cleaning and restoration
• TimberTech cleaning
• Stain and sealer preparation
• Mold and mildew removal
• Green growth and biological contamination elimination

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is frequently the first thing visitors notice about your property, and a grimy, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's overall curb appeal. Whether you have a privacy fence, PVC fence, aluminum or decorative metal, chain link, or agricultural fencing, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to original condition.

Wood fences in Wayne County are particularly prone to organic growth due to our moisture levels and wet conditions. Our fence cleaning service eliminates these contaminants while preserving the wood's integrity. For homeowners planning to stain their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, ensuring maximum adhesion and durable results.

Fence types we clean:

• Wooden fences (cedar)
• Vinyl fencing
• Aluminum and wrought iron fences
• Wire fencing
• Split rail fencing

Gutter Maintenance and Gutter Brightening

Blocked gutters cause water to overflow and collect around your foundation, resulting in basement flooding, structural issues, and yard damage. Our gutter cleaning service extracts organic matter, roofing debris, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, ensuring proper water flow away from your home.

Beyond interior gutter cleaning, we offer exterior gutter cleaning services that eliminate the black streaks and staining that develop on the exterior face of gutters. These stains are caused by chemical reaction and bonding of pollutants and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our commercial gutter brightening solutions dissolve these bonds, restoring your gutters to their like-new clean or colored finish.

The LuxWash Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a proven approach designed to guarantee superior results while protecting your property. Here is what you can expect when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Wayne County:

Step 1: Complimentary On-Site Evaluation and Estimate

We kick off with a detailed inspection of your property to assess cleaning needs, spot any areas requiring special attention, and determine the best cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is unique, we prefer to provide estimates face-to-face rather than over the phone. This allows us to give you precise pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any existing conditions, and discuss your questions and desired outcomes.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning starts, we take measures to protect your property. This includes covering lawn items, shutting windows and doors, pre-soaking plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and identifying any areas that require extra attention. We also check cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with different surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we implement the correct technique. Soft washing involves delivering our plant-safe cleaning solution at reduced PSI, allowing it to sit and destroy organic contaminants, then flushing with gentle water. Pressure washing uses more pressure for resilient surfaces like concrete, with our professional surface cleaners providing uniform coverage. Throughout the process, we continuously monitor results and modify techniques as needed.

Step 4: Complete 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 prevent water spots. Finally, we conduct a careful inspection to ensure every area meets our exacting standards.

Step 5: Final Review 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 ensure your complete satisfaction before we consider the job done. If any area misses your expectations, we handle it right away.

Why Soft Washing is Better to Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners think that higher pressure equals more effective cleaning, but this is often not the case. Power washing is effective for durable surfaces like cement, masonry, and certain stone. However, applying high pressure to softer materials causes major damage:

• Siding: High pressure can break siding panels, drive water underneath siding into wall cavities, and invalidate manufacturer warranties.
• Natural wood: Too much pressure damages wood fibers, roughs up, and can gouge softer species.
• Shingles: Pressure washing strips protective granules, severely reducing roof lifespan.
• Paint: High pressure peels paint, necessitating costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can crack stucco and penetrate the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing eliminates these problems by having cleaning chemistry do the work instead of depending on high pressure. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to eliminate mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the root. The result is a more thorough, extended clean that does not return as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may clear the visible growth, but roots remain hidden in the surface and regrow quickly. Soft washing destroys the organisms completely, preventing rapid regrowth.

Addressing Apple Creek's Unique Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the heart of NE Ohio, an area known by hot humid weather, harsh winters, and significant rainfall throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

Moisture and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humid conditions, particularly during growing season, create optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew proliferation. Homes with north-facing walls, lots of shade, or location near bodies of water experience accelerated organic growth. The ugly staining you see on homes throughout Wayne County is not just unsightly; it is active growth continuously feeding on and damaging your property's surfaces.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Cold months subject exterior surfaces to constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into porous materials like concrete and wood, then expands as it freezes, causing cracks, flaking, and issues over time. Routine maintenance removes buildup and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while protective coatings provide extra protection against water penetration.

Natural Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's rural character means abundant trees, which contribute natural matter, and contaminants that accumulate on roofs, gutters, and other surfaces. This debris holds moisture and offers nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes near oak, maple, and pine trees require additional cleaning to prevent buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding towns are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from field work, country roads, and harvesting lands on exterior surfaces, mixing with moisture to create stubborn grime. This is particularly noticeable on pale or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

What is the black streaks on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a microorganism that feeds on mineral filler in asphalt shingles.

Beyond being unsightly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to degrade faster by trapping moisture and preventing proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment kills this bacteria completely, returning your roof's appearance and stopping further damage.
