Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

Our company offers a complete range of exterior cleaning services tailored to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your Wayne County property. Our team are trained in both pressure washing techniques for durable surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for sensitive materials that could be harmed by excessive water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses gentle water pressure combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove organic growth, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike standard pressure washing, which depends on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to blast away grime, soft washing enables the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the preferred method for delicate surfaces including vinyl, James Hardie siding, exterior stucco, painted surfaces, and cultured stone.

The humid climate in Northeast Ohio creates optimal situations for organic growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants not only detract from your home's appearance but can actually cause harm to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths at the root, destroying the spores and stopping recontamination. Most homes in Apple Creek benefit from professional soft washing every 1-2 years, depending on factors like sun exposure, foliage, and the way your home faces.

Surfaces we treat with soft washing:

• Vinyl exterior and aluminum siding
• Hardie board and fiber cement siding
• Painted exteriors and trim
• Masonry and stone surfaces
• Stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Stone veneer and limestone
• Wood shake and natural wood exteriors

Roof Soft Washing Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not grime or tree sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. If ignored, this algae growth causes premature shingle deterioration, reducing your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to expensive repairs years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the low-pressure roof cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should never be used on shingle roofs because it can strip protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes leaks and deterioration. Our gentle technique delivers professional-grade cleaning solutions that eliminate organic growth without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Dark stains disappear, exposing the actual shade of your shingles. More importantly, the treatment eliminates organic growth completely, providing lasting protection. Most roofs in Wayne County need professional soft washing approximately every 5 years, though homes with lots of shade may require regular treatment.

Roofs we service:

• Asphalt shingle roofs (3-tab and designer shingles)
• Cedar shake and wood roofing
• Natural slate and tile roofs
• Standing seam systems
• Commercial roofing (TPO, EPDM, mod bit)

Driveway Cleaning

Concrete surfaces, sidewalks, outdoor living spaces, and other concrete surfaces are resilient enough to withstand pressure washing, making them well-suited for our power washing services. Over time, concrete accumulates contamination, grease, algae, and ground-in grime that standard hose rinsing cannot eliminate. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the perfect PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to lift embedded contaminants from the surface without damaging the surface.

For local 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 professional equipment lets us to restore large areas effectively while delivering consistently perfect results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and oil spot treatment
• Path and pathway restoration
• Backyard patio and deck cleaning
• Garage floor cleaning
• Landscape wall cleaning
• Brick paver and paving stone cleaning
• Decorative concrete cleaning

Concrete Sealing Services

After cleaning your concrete surfaces, ask about our concrete sealing service to safeguard your hardscaping and prolong the life of your hardscaping. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that blocks water, oil, and other contaminants, making upkeep less frequent and eliminating damage from winter weather that are common during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also resists staining, meaning accidents and tire marks clean up fast instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that soak into the concrete for undetectable protection and topical sealers that create a shiny or satin finish for enhanced appearance. Our technicians will suggest the best sealer type based on your surface, traffic, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Washing and Restoration

Decks and Trex decking require routine cleaning to maintain their beauty and strength. In Wayne County's climate, decks are hit by weather, and hot and cold that foster mold, mildew, and algae growth. Left alone, these growths break down wood fibers, causing discoloration, decay, and early failure.

Our deck cleaning service strips away surface contaminants and preps your deck for sealing or treating. For wood decks made from treated pine, natural cedar, or natural redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without harming wood grain or splintering excessively. Composite and Azek materials require softer treatment, and our technicians adapt techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Wood deck cleaning and rejuvenation
• Composite deck cleaning
• Stain and sealer preparation
• Mold and mildew treatment
• Algae and organic buildup elimination

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is often the first thing visitors see about your property, and a grimy, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's entire curb appeal. Whether you have a privacy fence, PVC fence, wrought iron or decorative metal, chainlink, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to pristine condition.

Wooden fencing in our area are particularly prone to organic growth due to our humid climate 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, promoting best adhesion and long-lasting results.

Fence types we clean:

• Privacy fencing (cedar)
• Vinyl fencing
• Aluminum and metal fences
• Wire fencing
• Agricultural fencing

Gutter Service and Exterior Gutter Cleaning

Full gutters cause water to overflow and accumulate around your foundation, causing foundation problems, foundation damage, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service clears leaves, twigs, shingle granules, 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 remove the black streaks and tiger striping that form on the exterior face of gutters. These stains are caused by environmental exposure and adhesion of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our commercial gutter brightening solutions release these bonds, returning your gutters to their original clean or colored finish.

The LuxWash Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a systematic approach developed to produce 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: Complimentary On-Site Assessment and Estimate

We start with a detailed inspection of your property to determine cleaning needs, spot any areas requiring special attention, and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is unique, we prefer to provide estimates in person rather than over the phone. This enables us to give you accurate pricing with no surprises. We measure surfaces, note any pre-existing damage, and discuss your specific concerns and desired outcomes.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning begins, we take measures to preserve your property. This includes protecting patio furniture, securing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and identifying any areas that require gentle treatment. We also test cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with different surface types.

Step 3: Expert Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we use the appropriate technique. Soft washing involves applying our eco-friendly cleaning solution at reduced PSI, allowing it to work and break down organic contaminants, then rinsing with gentle water. Pressure washing uses more pressure for hard surfaces like concrete, with our industrial surface cleaners providing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly monitor results and modify techniques as needed.

Step 4: Thorough Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a comprehensive rinse of all treated surfaces and surrounding areas. We complete a streak-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to prevent water spots. Lastly, we conduct a careful inspection to verify 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 falls short of your expectations, we address it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Superior to Pressure Washing for Delicate Surfaces

Many homeowners think that higher pressure equals more effective cleaning, but this is often not the case. High-pressure washing is great for hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and specific stone. However, applying high pressure to delicate materials causes major damage:

• Siding: High pressure can damage siding panels, force water underneath siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
• Wood: Excessive pressure destroys wood fibers, raises grain, and can damage pine species.
• Asphalt shingles: Pressure washing dislodges protective granules, significantly shortening roof lifespan.
• Painted wood: High pressure strips paint, requiring costly repainting.
• EIFS: Pressure can penetrate stucco and penetrate the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing eliminates these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of relying on excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to destroy biological contamination at the root. The result is a more thorough, more durable clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you pressure wash mold and algae, you may remove the visible growth, but organisms remain deep in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms totally, eliminating rapid regrowth.

Addressing Northeast Ohio's Unique Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the center of Northeastern Ohio, an area characterized by hot humid weather, cold winters, and frequent precipitation throughout the year. This climate creates unique challenges for exterior surfaces:

Moisture and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's moisture content, particularly during spring and summer, create optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew growth. Homes with limited sun exposure, lots of shade, or proximity to bodies of water experience faster organic growth. The dark staining you see on exterior surfaces throughout Wayne County is not just unsightly; it is active growth constantly feeding on and degrading your property's surfaces.

Winter Weather

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 cracks, spalling, and structural damage over time. Regular cleaning removes material and organic matter that hold moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide additional protection against water intrusion.

Tree Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's rural character means numerous trees, which deposit natural matter, and material that build up on surfaces, and other surfaces. This debris retains moisture and provides nutrients for biological and algae growth. Homes near deciduous and evergreen trees require additional cleaning to prevent buildup.

Rural Dust and Particulates

Wayne County and surrounding areas are situated in an rural region. Dust from farming operations, unpaved roads, and field work lands on exterior surfaces, mixing with moisture to create difficult grime. This is notably noticeable on white or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

How often should I have my house soft washed?
