Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

We provides a full range of exterior cleaning services designed to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team have expertise in both high-pressure washing techniques for durable surfaces and soft washing methods for vulnerable materials that could be ruined by excessive water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water application combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to effectively remove contaminants, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike standard pressure washing, which relies on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to blast away grime, soft washing enables the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the ideal method for delicate surfaces including vinyl siding, Hardie board, EIFS, painted surfaces, and stone veneer.

The environmental factors in our area creates optimal situations for biological growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants don't just hurt your home's appearance but can even cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service eliminates these growths completely, destroying the spores and inhibiting quick return. Most homes in our service area need professional soft washing every 1-2 years, depending on factors like sun exposure, proximity to trees, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we clean with soft washing:

• Vinyl siding and aluminum siding
• James Hardie and fiber cement siding
• Painted wood siding and trim
• Brick and stone surfaces
• Stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Cultured stone and natural stone
• Wood shake and natural wood exteriors

Roof Soft Washing Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not grime or residue. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a species of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that eats the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. If ignored, this algae growth causes premature shingle deterioration, shortening your roof's lifespan and likely leading to major expense years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the low-pressure roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Power washing should absolutely not be used on residential roofing because it can dislodge protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes structural problems and structural damage. Our gentle technique delivers specialized cleaning solutions that eliminate algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any risk of damage to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Ugly discoloration disappear, uncovering the true color of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment eliminates organic growth at the root level, providing long-term protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Wayne County should receive professional soft washing roughly every five years, though homes with lots of shade may require regular treatment.

Roof types we service:

• Architectural shingles (standard and architectural shingles)
• Wood shake and wood roofing
• Stone and concrete tile
• Metal roof systems
• Commercial roofing (TPO, EPDM, mod bit)

Driveway Washing

Concrete driveways, paths, entertaining areas, and other hardscape surfaces are resilient enough to withstand power washing, making them perfect for our power washing services. Over time, concrete collects contamination, spills, green growth, and embedded dirt that regular garden hose rinsing cannot touch. Our professional pressure washing equipment delivers water at the optimal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to lift embedded contaminants from concrete pores without harming the surface.

For local driveways and concrete surfaces, we use professional surface cleaners that provide even cleaning coverage without the zebra stripes that wand pressure washing nozzles can leave behind. This professional equipment lets us to clean large areas quickly while delivering reliably perfect results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and oil spot treatment
• Walkway and pathway restoration
• Patio and pool deck cleaning
• Garage cleaning
• Retaining wall cleaning
• Brick paver and paver stone cleaning
• Stamped concrete cleaning

Protective Sealing Services

After restoring your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to protect your investment and extend the life of your concrete. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that repels liquids, and other contaminants, making future cleaning simpler and preventing damage from freeze-thaw cycles that are typical during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also prevents staining, meaning drips and tire marks wipe away easily instead of penetrating the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that absorb into the concrete for undetectable protection and topical sealers that create a glossy or natural finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will suggest the best sealer type based on your surface, usage, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Cleaning Services

Outdoor decks and composite decking require routine cleaning to preserve their appearance and strength. In Apple Creek's climate, decks are hit by weather, and seasonal changes that promote biological growth. Without cleaning, these growths damage wood fibers, causing discoloration, soft spots, and early failure.

Our deck cleaning service strips away surface contaminants and preps your deck for sealing or sealing. For wood decks made from treated pine, western red cedar, or California redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without harming wood grain or fuzzing excessively. Composite and vinyl decking materials require more careful treatment, and our technicians adjust techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Wood deck cleaning and restoration
• Composite deck cleaning
• Stain and sealer prep
• Fungus and mildew removal
• Slippery and biological contamination elimination

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is often the first thing visitors observe about your property, and a stained, green fence diminishes your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wood privacy fence, vinyl fencing, aluminum or wrought iron, wire, or farm fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to pristine condition.

Wood fences in Apple Creek are notably vulnerable to biological contamination due to our weather patterns and wet conditions. Our fence cleaning service destroys these contaminants while protecting the wood's integrity. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, promoting maximum adhesion and extended results.

Fencing we clean:

• Wooden fences (pine)
• PVC fencing
• Ornamental and steel fences
• Chainlink fencing
• Farm fencing

Gutter Maintenance and Gutter Whitening

Clogged gutters cause water to overflow and accumulate around your foundation, causing foundation problems, structural issues, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service removes organic matter, roofing debris, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, ensuring proper water flow away from your home.

Besides interior gutter cleaning, we offer gutter brightening services that remove the tiger striping and staining that develop on the exterior face of gutters. These stains are caused by oxidation and electrostatic bonding of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our specialized gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, returning your gutters to their like-new white or colored finish.

The LuxWash Cleaning Process

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

Step 1: Complimentary On-Site Consultation and Estimate

We start with a thorough inspection of your property to assess cleaning needs, note any areas requiring extra care, and determine the best cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is individual, we prefer to provide estimates in person rather than over the phone. This allows us to give you precise pricing with no surprises. We measure surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your expectations and desired outcomes.

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning begins, we take precautions to preserve your property. This includes moving lawn items, closing windows and doors, wetting down plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and noting any areas that require special care. We also test cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with different surface types.

Step 3: Professional 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 dwell and destroy organic contaminants, then flushing with soft water. Pressure washing uses higher PSI for resilient surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners ensuring even coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly 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 adjacent areas. We complete a spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to avoid water spots. Then, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure every area meets our professional standards.

Step 5: Final Review and Satisfaction Confirmation

If you are home during service, we encourage 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 does not meet your expectations, we handle it immediately.

Why Soft Washing is Superior to Pressure Washing for Many Surfaces

Many homeowners think that stronger force equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. Power washing is effective for durable surfaces like hardscaping, brick, and some types of stone. However, directing high pressure to sensitive materials causes major damage:

• Siding: High pressure can break siding panels, force water underneath siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
• Wood: Too much pressure splinters wood fibers, roughs up, and can scar soft wood species.
• Shingles: Pressure washing removes protective granules, dramatically cutting roof lifespan.
• Painted surfaces: High pressure strips paint, necessitating costly repainting.
• EIFS: 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 using high pressure. Our soft wash solutions are specifically formulated to eliminate mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the source. The result is a superior, more durable clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may eliminate the visible growth, but spores remain embedded in the surface and regrow quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms completely, stopping rapid regrowth.

Tackling Wayne County's Local Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the center of NE Ohio, an area known by humid summers, harsh winters, and frequent precipitation throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's moisture content, particularly during spring and summer, produce optimal situations for organic growth proliferation. Homes with shaded areas, dense canopy, or nearness to bodies of water experience increased organic growth. The dark staining you see on exterior surfaces throughout Wayne County is not just unattractive; it is living organisms actively consuming and damaging your property's surfaces.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Our winters subject exterior surfaces to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters concrete and wood like concrete and wood, then grows as it freezes, causing cracks, flaking, and problems over time. Periodic washing removes buildup and organic matter that trap moisture against surfaces, while sealers provide extra protection against water intrusion.

Tree Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means numerous trees, which deposit natural matter, and organic debris that build up on surfaces, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and offers nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes near mature trees require more frequent cleaning to prevent buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Wayne County and surrounding Wayne County communities are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from agriculture, country roads, and plowing settles on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create stubborn grime. This is particularly noticeable on pale or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

Is pressure washing good for my home?

LuxWash technicians are experienced to identify surface materials and select the proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions. We use soft washing for sensitive surfaces like siding, trim, and asphalt shingle roofs, reserving pressure washing for durable surfaces like concrete that can handle it. We don't use pressure levels that could damage your property.

How often should I have my house cleaned?

Most homes in Wayne County should have professional soft washing every 12-24 months. However, schedule depends on your situation including canopy, sun exposure, moisture, and construction. Homes with lots of trees or with major north-facing wall area may need every-year cleaning, while homes in exposed locations may go longer between cleanings. During your estimate, we can evaluate your specific situation and recommend an ideal maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof soft washed?

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends professional soft washing roughly every half decade for residential roofing, though homes with lots of shade or ongoing algae problems may require more frequent treatment.

This organism creates a black sheath to protect itself from UV radiation, creating the characteristic black staining. Beyond being ugly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to degrade faster by trapping moisture and inhibiting proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment kills this bacteria completely, returning your roof's appearance and stopping further damage.

First impressions are important. Whether you are having a party, greeting guests, or simply coming home to your driveway after work, a well-maintained exterior makes your home more inviting. Professional pressure washing strips away years of accumulated grime, returning surfaces to their former appearance.

A sparkling exterior indicates that the home has been cared for, potentially boosting buyer confidence and value.

Organic growth on exterior surfaces can affect indoor air quality, particularly when these organisms grow near windows, doors, and HVAC systems. Professional cleaning eliminates these harmful contaminants, promoting a better environment for your family. This is particularly important for households with allergies or lung conditions.

Getting Ready for Painting and Staining

If you are planning to refinish your home's exterior or refinish your deck, professional cleaning is necessary preparation. Paint and stain bond best to pristine, pure surfaces.
