Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

We delivers a complete range of exterior cleaning services designed to handle every surface and cleaning challenge on your Apple Creek property. Our team are trained in both high-pressure washing techniques for resilient surfaces and soft washing methods for sensitive materials that could be damaged by high water pressure.

Siding Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water application combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to thoroughly 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 enables the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the ideal method for delicate surfaces including home siding, James Hardie siding, EIFS, painted wood, and cultured stone.

The weather conditions in our area creates ideal conditions for organic growth on home exteriors. These growths not only diminish your home's appearance but can actually cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service removes these growths at the source, eliminating the spores and inhibiting recontamination. Most homes in our service area should have professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like tree cover, landscaping, and the orientation your home faces.

Surfaces we clean with soft washing:

• Vinyl siding and metal siding
• Hardie board and fiber cement siding
• Wood siding and trim
• Brick exteriors and block surfaces
• Exterior stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Stone veneer and limestone
• Cedar shake and natural wood exteriors

Roof Cleaning Services

The black streaks you see on roofs throughout Wayne County are not grime or tree sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (algae) that feeds on the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Without treatment, this infestation causes premature shingle deterioration, reducing your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to expensive repairs years too soon.

LuxWash uses the soft wash roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Power washing should absolutely not be used on asphalt shingle roofs because it can remove protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and force water underneath shingles where it causes leaks and deterioration. Our gentle technique delivers professional-grade cleaning solutions that eliminate algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Dark stains are eliminated, uncovering the actual shade of your shingles. Even better, the treatment destroys organic growth permanently, providing long-term protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Wayne County need professional soft washing about every five years, though homes with lots of shade may require additional treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

• Architectural shingles (three-tab and designer shingles)
• Wood shake and wood roofing
• Stone and tile roofs
• Metal roof systems
• Commercial roofing (TPO, EPDM, mod bit)

Hardscape Cleaning

Concrete driveways, walkways, outdoor living spaces, and other flatwork surfaces are tough enough to withstand power washing, making them well-suited for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete accumulates dirt, oil stains, rust stains, tire marks, grease, organic matter, and embedded dirt that regular water rinsing cannot remove. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the optimal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to remove embedded contaminants from concrete pores without harming the surface.

For local driveways and concrete surfaces, we use professional surface cleaners that provide uniform cleaning coverage without the striping patterns that standard pressure washing equipment can leave behind. This specialized equipment enables us to wash large areas efficiently while delivering uniformly spotless results across the entire surface.

Flatwork cleaning services include:

• Driveway cleaning and oil spot treatment
• Walkway and pedestrian surface cleaning
• Patio and pool deck washing
• Garage cleaning
• Block wall cleaning
• Paver and hardscape cleaning
• Stamped concrete cleaning

Protective Sealing Services

After cleaning your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to protect your investment and prolong the life of your concrete. Concrete sealers establish a protective barrier that blocks liquids, and other contaminants, making future cleaning easier and preventing damage from winter weather that are typical during our winters. Sealed concrete also blocks staining, meaning spills and tire marks clean up fast instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that absorb into the concrete for natural-look protection and surface sealers that create a glossy or natural finish for upgraded appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your surface, needs, and style.

Deck Washing Services

Wood decks and composite decking require periodic cleaning to preserve their look and strength. In Wayne County's climate, decks are hit by weather, and seasonal changes that foster organic growth. Left alone, these organic contaminants damage wood fibers, causing staining, soft spots, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service strips away surface contaminants and preps your deck for refinishing or protecting. For wood decks made from PT wood, western red cedar, or natural redwood, we use appropriate pressure levels and cleaning solutions that clean effectively without hurting wood grain or splintering excessively. PVC and PVC decking materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians adjust techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Natural wood cleaning and brightening
• Composite deck cleaning
• Deck stain and sealer surface prep
• Mildew and mildew treatment
• Green growth and biological contamination elimination

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is usually the initial element visitors observe about your property, and a grimy, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's entire curb appeal. Whether you have a privacy fence, vinyl, aluminum or wrought iron, wire, or farm fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to original condition.

Wood fences in our area are notably prone to algae, mold, and mildew due to our moisture levels and frequent rain. Our fence cleaning service removes these contaminants while maintaining the wood's structure. For homeowners planning to stain their wood fence, our cleaning service provides perfect preparation, guaranteeing best adhesion and long-lasting results.

Fences we clean:

• Wood privacy fences (cedar)
• PVC fencing
• Ornamental and wrought iron fences
• Wire fencing
• Farm fencing

Gutter Service and Gutter Whitening

Clogged gutters cause water to back up and accumulate around your foundation, causing basement flooding, foundation damage, and washouts. Our gutter cleaning service clears leaves, twigs, 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 black streaks and tiger striping that appear on the exterior face of gutters. These stains are caused by environmental exposure and bonding of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our professional gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, returning your gutters to their factory white or colored finish.

The LuxWash Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a systematic approach engineered to produce outstanding results while safeguarding your property. Here is what you can anticipate when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Northeast Ohio:

Step 1: Free On-Site Evaluation and Estimate

We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to evaluate cleaning needs, note any areas requiring focused treatment, and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is different, we prefer to provide estimates in person rather than over the phone. This allows us to give you accurate pricing with no surprises. We measure surfaces, note any pre-existing damage, and discuss your expectations and desired outcomes.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take precautions to preserve your property. This includes moving lawn items, closing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and identifying any areas that require extra attention. 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 implement the proper technique. Soft washing involves applying our biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure, allowing it to work and break down organic contaminants, then washing with soft water. Pressure washing uses higher PSI for hard surfaces like concrete, with our professional surface cleaners guaranteeing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we continuously evaluate results and fine-tune techniques as needed.

Step 4: Complete Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a complete rinse of all treated surfaces and surrounding areas. We complete a spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to eliminate water spots. Then, we conduct a careful inspection to confirm every area meets our professional 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 total satisfaction before we consider the job done. If any area misses your expectations, we fix it immediately.

Why Soft Washing is Preferred Over Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners think that stronger force equals better cleaning, but this is often not the case. Power washing is ideal for hard surfaces like cement, masonry, and some types of stone. However, using high pressure to sensitive materials causes serious damage:

• Siding: High pressure can break siding panels, force water into siding into wall cavities, and void manufacturer warranties.
• Natural wood: High pressure splinters wood fibers, roughs up, and can damage softer species.
• Asphalt shingles: Pressure washing dislodges protective granules, dramatically shortening roof lifespan.
• Painted wood: High pressure chips paint, necessitating costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can damage stucco and breach the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing solves these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using brute force. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to destroy biological contamination at the cellular level. The result is a deeper, longer-lasting 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 hidden in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms totally, stopping rapid regrowth.

Tackling Apple Creek's Unique Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the middle of Northeast 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 moisture content, particularly during growing season, produce optimal situations for organic growth growth. Homes with shaded areas, lots of shade, or proximity to wetlands experience faster organic growth. The dark staining you see on exterior surfaces throughout Apple Creek is not just ugly; it is living organisms constantly degrading and degrading your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Our winters subject exterior surfaces to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles. Water penetrates concrete and wood like concrete and wood, then grows as it freezes, causing cracks, surface failure, and structural damage over time. Routine maintenance removes debris and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide additional protection against water penetration.

Tree Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's natural setting means numerous trees, which deposit leaves, sap, pollen, and organic debris that accumulate on surfaces, and other surfaces. This debris retains moisture and supplies nutrients for biological and algae growth. Homes surrounded by oak, maple, and pine trees require additional cleaning to avoid buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding towns are situated in an rural region. Dust from field work, country roads, and field work deposits on exterior surfaces, combining with moisture to create stubborn grime. This is particularly noticeable on light-colored or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

We don't use pressure levels that could hurt your property.

How often should I have my house soft washed?

Most homes in Apple Creek benefit from professional soft washing every 1-2 years. However, frequency depends on several factors including shade, orientation, environmental factors, and exterior type.

Our roof soft wash treatment kills this bacteria completely, restoring your roof's appearance and preventing further damage.
