Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

LuxWash delivers a comprehensive range of exterior cleaning services tailored to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team have expertise in both pressure washing techniques for hard surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for sensitive materials that could be damaged by too much water pressure.

House Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses gentle water pressure combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely remove organic growth, and other biological matter from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike conventional pressure washing, which uses 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 sensitive surfaces including home siding, fiber cement siding, EIFS, wood siding, and stone veneer.

The humid climate in our area produces optimal situations for biological growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants don't just detract from your home's appearance but can actually cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service removes these growths at the root, killing the spores and preventing recontamination. Most homes in Apple Creek benefit from professional soft washing every 12-24 months, depending on factors like sun exposure, proximity to trees, and the way your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

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

Roof Soft Washing Services

The dark streaks you see on roofs throughout Wayne County are not dirt or sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (algae) that eats the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Left untreated, this algae growth causes accelerated wear, cutting your roof's lifespan and potentially leading to expensive repairs years too soon.

LuxWash uses the low-pressure roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should absolutely not be used on residential roofing because it can strip protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and force water underneath shingles where it causes structural problems and structural damage. Our soft wash process 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. Ugly discoloration disappear, exposing the true color of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment eliminates organic growth completely, providing long-term protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Apple Creek need professional soft washing approximately every five years, though homes with lots of shade may require more frequent treatment.

Roofs we service:

• Architectural shingles (standard and dimensional shingles)
• Wood shake and wood shingle roofs
• Natural slate and clay tile
• Metal roofing systems
• Commercial roofing (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Concrete Cleaning

Concrete surfaces, walkways, patios, and other flatwork surfaces are resilient enough to withstand pressure washing, making them ideal candidates for our power washing services. Over time, concrete accumulates dirt, oil stains, rust stains, tire marks, spills, green growth, and embedded dirt that regular water rinsing cannot eliminate. Our industrial pressure washing equipment delivers water at the perfect PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to remove embedded contaminants from the surface without harming the surface.

For Wayne County driveways and concrete surfaces, we use commercial surface cleaners that provide uniform cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that handheld pressure washing wands can leave behind. This commercial equipment lets us to wash large areas efficiently while delivering uniformly spotless results across the entire surface.

Flatwork cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and oil spot treatment
• Sidewalk and walkway cleaning
• Patio and pool deck cleaning
• Garage floor cleaning
• Retaining wall cleaning
• Paver and paving stone cleaning
• Textured concrete cleaning

Driveway Sealing Services

After restoring your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and extend the life of your flatwork. Concrete sealers form a protective barrier that blocks liquids, and other contaminants, making future cleaning less frequent and eliminating damage from freeze-thaw cycles that are frequent during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also resists staining, meaning spills and tire marks wipe away easily instead of penetrating the porous concrete surface.

We offer both penetrating sealers that absorb into the concrete for natural-look protection and film-forming sealers that create a glossy or satin finish for enhanced appearance. Our technicians will suggest the best sealer type based on your concrete, usage, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Restoration Services

Outdoor decks and synthetic decking require routine cleaning to maintain their appearance and structural integrity. In Apple Creek's climate, decks are exposed to the elements, and seasonal changes that encourage biological growth. Left alone, these organisms deteriorate wood fibers, causing discoloration, soft spots, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service strips away surface contaminants and readies your deck for staining or sealing. For wood decks made from treated pine, cedar, or redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that clean effectively without damaging wood grain or splintering excessively. Synthetic and PVC decking materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to preserve manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Natural wood cleaning and restoration
• Trex cleaning
• Stain and sealer surface prep
• Mildew and mildew removal
• Green growth and green growth elimination

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is frequently the first thing visitors observe about your property, and a grimy, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's overall curb appeal. Whether you have a privacy fence, vinyl, wrought iron or ornamental iron, chain link, or agricultural fencing, LuxWash has the equipment and expertise to restore it to like-new condition.

Wooden fencing in our area are especially vulnerable to organic growth due to our humid climate and precipitation. Our fence cleaning service eliminates these contaminants while protecting the wood's condition. For homeowners planning to stain their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, promoting best adhesion and extended results.

Fences we clean:

• Wood privacy fences (pressure-treated)
• Plastic fencing
• Ornamental and wrought iron fences
• Wire fencing
• Farm fencing

Gutter Maintenance and Gutter Whitening

Blocked gutters cause water to overflow and pool around your foundation, resulting in basement flooding, structural issues, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service removes debris, grit, 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 tiger striping and tiger striping that form on the front of gutters. These stains are caused by chemical reaction and bonding of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our specialized gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, bringing back your gutters to their like-new white or colored finish.

Our Proven Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a proven approach designed to deliver exceptional 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 start with a comprehensive inspection of your property to determine cleaning needs, identify any areas requiring special attention, and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is different, we prefer to provide estimates face-to-face rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you exact pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your expectations and expectations.

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning begins, we take measures to preserve your property. This includes protecting patio furniture, closing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to protect them from cleaning solutions, and marking any areas that require special care. We also check cleaning solutions on inconspicuous areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Expert Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the correct technique. Soft washing involves delivering our eco-friendly cleaning solution at gentle pressure, letting it to work and destroy organic contaminants, then washing with soft water. Pressure washing uses increased force for durable surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners ensuring consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly check results and fine-tune techniques as needed.

Step 4: Final Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a thorough rinse of all treated surfaces and adjacent areas. We complete a spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to eliminate water spots. Then, we conduct a detailed inspection to confirm every area meets our professional standards.

Step 5: Satisfaction Check and Satisfaction Confirmation

If you are home during service, we welcome you to walk through the completed work with us. We want you to see the results and verify your 100% satisfaction before we consider the job finished. If any area falls short of your expectations, we address it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Preferred vs Pressure Washing for Many Surfaces

Many homeowners think that more PSI equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. High-pressure washing is effective for durable surfaces like concrete, block, and specific stone. However, applying high pressure to delicate materials causes significant damage:

• Vinyl: High pressure can damage siding panels, force water into siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
• Wood surfaces: Excessive pressure damages wood fibers, roughs up, and can scar pine species.
• Asphalt shingles: Pressure washing removes protective granules, dramatically cutting roof lifespan.
• Painted surfaces: High pressure peels paint, requiring costly repainting.
• Exterior stucco: Pressure can damage stucco and compromise the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing addresses these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of depending on excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to kill organic growth at the root. The result is a more thorough, longer-lasting clean that stays clean as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you pressure wash mold and algae, you may eliminate the obvious problem, but spores remain deep in the surface and regrow quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms completely, stopping rapid regrowth.

Tackling Wayne County's Unique Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the middle of Northeastern Ohio, an area defined by moisture-laden air, freezing temperatures, and frequent precipitation throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humidity levels, particularly during spring and summer, produce ideal conditions for biological contamination growth. Homes with shaded areas, dense canopy, or nearness to wetlands experience accelerated organic growth. The dark staining you see on siding, roofs, and concrete throughout the area is not just ugly; it is biological matter continuously feeding on and destroying your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Ohio winters subject exterior surfaces to constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters concrete and wood like concrete and wood, then swells as it freezes, causing deterioration, spalling, and structural damage over time. Routine maintenance removes debris and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while sealers provide additional protection against water intrusion.

Natural Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's natural setting means abundant trees, which drop organic debris, and organic debris that accumulate on roofs, gutters, and other surfaces. This debris retains moisture and provides nutrients for mold and algae growth. Homes near oak, maple, and pine trees require more frequent cleaning to stop buildup.

Farm Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding towns are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from farming operations, unpaved roads, and field work lands on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create persistent grime. This is particularly noticeable on light-colored or light-colored siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.
