The LuxWash Difference

Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

Our company provides a complete range of exterior cleaning services tailored to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team specialize in both pressure washing techniques for resilient surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for vulnerable materials that could be harmed by high water pressure.

House Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses gentle water pressure combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to effectively remove contaminants, and other buildup from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike conventional pressure washing, which uses high PSI (pounds per square inch) to remove grime, soft washing lets the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the preferred method for sensitive surfaces including home siding, Hardie board, stucco, wood siding, and cultured stone.

The environmental factors in our area produces ideal conditions for organic growth on home exteriors. These growths don't just detract from your home's appearance but can even cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service eliminates these growths at the root, destroying the spores and stopping recontamination. Most homes in Wayne County benefit from professional soft washing every 12-24 months, depending on factors like tree cover, foliage, and the orientation your home faces.

Surfaces we treat with soft washing:

Roof Cleaning Services

The black streaks you see on roofs throughout Wayne County are not grime or sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that eats the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Left untreated, this contamination causes early roof failure, cutting your roof's lifespan and likely leading to major expense years before necessary.

LuxWash uses the low-pressure roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Pressure washing should absolutely not be used on asphalt shingle roofs because it can strip protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and push water underneath shingles where it causes leaks and deterioration. Our soft wash process delivers commercial cleaning solutions that destroy algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see remarkable results. Dark stains vanish, revealing the actual shade of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment kills organic growth completely, providing extended protection. Most shingle roofs in Apple Creek should receive professional soft washing about every 5 years, though homes with significant canopy may require more frequent treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

Concrete Washing

Concrete surfaces, paths, outdoor living spaces, and other concrete surfaces are tough enough to withstand high-pressure washing, making them ideal candidates for our high-pressure cleaning services. Over time, concrete accumulates grime and stains, spills, algae, and embedded dirt that regular garden hose rinsing cannot remove. Our industrial 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 industrial surface cleaners that provide consistent cleaning coverage without the zebra stripes that handheld pressure washing equipment can leave behind. This commercial equipment lets us to clean large areas effectively while delivering consistently perfect results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

Concrete Sealing Services

After pressure washing your concrete surfaces, consider adding our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and prolong the life of your concrete. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that resists moisture, and other contaminants, making maintenance easier and stopping damage from freeze-thaw cycles that are typical during our winters. Sealed concrete also blocks staining, meaning spills and tire marks don't penetrate instead of soaking into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both penetrating sealers that soak into the concrete for undetectable protection and topical sealers that create a wet-look or matte finish for upgraded appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your concrete, needs, and style.

Deck Washing Services

Decks and Trex decking require regular cleaning to maintain their beauty and structural integrity. In Apple Creek's climate, decks are exposed to the elements, and seasonal changes that encourage biological growth. Without cleaning, these organic contaminants damage wood fibers, causing fading, soft spots, and structural problems.

Our deck cleaning service removes surface contaminants and prepares your deck for staining or sealing. For wood decks made from pressure-treated lumber, natural cedar, or redwood, we use correct pressure levels and cleaning solutions that clean effectively without harming wood grain or raising fibers excessively. PVC and Azek materials require softer treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to protect manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is often the first thing visitors see about your property, and a grimy, algae-covered fence detracts from your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wooden fence, PVC fence, aluminum or decorative metal, chainlink, or farm fence, LuxWash has the equipment and know-how to restore it to pristine condition.

Natural wood fences in Wayne County are notably susceptible 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 condition. For homeowners planning to stain their wood fence, our cleaning service provides perfect preparation, promoting optimal adhesion and extended results.

Fencing we clean:

Gutter Service and Gutter Brightening

Blocked gutters cause water to back up and pool around your foundation, resulting in basement flooding, structural issues, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service removes leaves, twigs, grit, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, guaranteeing proper water flow away from your home.

In addition to interior gutter cleaning, we offer gutter whitening services that clean the tiger striping and discoloration that appear on the front of gutters. These stains are caused by oxidation and electrostatic bonding of pollutants and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our commercial gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, bringing back your gutters to their original white or colored finish.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a proven approach developed to produce superior results while preserving your property. Here is what you can expect when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Apple Creek:

Step 1: No-Cost On-Site Assessment and Estimate

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

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning begins, we take steps to preserve your property. This includes covering lawn items, shutting windows and doors, wetting down plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and noting any areas that require gentle treatment. We also check cleaning solutions on inconspicuous areas when working with unfamiliar surface types.

Step 3: Expert Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we use the correct technique. Soft washing involves spraying our biodegradable cleaning solution at reduced PSI, allowing it to work and break down organic contaminants, then rinsing with soft water. Pressure washing uses increased force for resilient surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners ensuring even coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly evaluate results and adjust techniques as needed.

Step 4: Complete Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a complete rinse of all treated surfaces and adjacent areas. We complete a streak-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to avoid water spots. Then, we conduct a thorough 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 confirm your complete satisfaction before we consider the job finished. If any area falls short of your expectations, we fix it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Superior vs Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners assume that higher pressure equals superior cleaning, but this is not always the case. Power washing is effective for resilient surfaces like concrete, masonry, and specific stone. However, applying high pressure to softer materials causes serious damage:

Soft washing eliminates these problems by having cleaning chemistry do the work instead of relying on excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to eliminate biological contamination at the root. The result is a superior, longer-lasting clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you power wash mold and algae, you may eliminate the surface contamination, but roots remain hidden in the surface and regrow quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms entirely, stopping rapid regrowth.

Addressing Wayne County's Specific Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the heart of Northeastern Ohio, an area defined by moisture-laden air, harsh winters, and abundant moisture throughout the year. This climate creates particular challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's moisture content, particularly during growing season, create perfect environments for biological contamination spread. Homes with limited sun exposure, heavy tree coverage, or proximity to bodies of water experience faster organic growth. The ugly staining you see on homes throughout Wayne County is not just unattractive; it is living organisms continuously degrading and degrading your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Our winters subject exterior surfaces to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters absorbent surfaces like concrete and wood, then swells as it freezes, causing deterioration, spalling, and issues over time. Periodic washing removes buildup and organic matter that hold moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide enhanced protection against water penetration.

Tree Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's natural setting means numerous trees, which drop leaves, sap, pollen, and material that accumulate on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris holds moisture and offers nutrients for biological and algae growth. Homes near deciduous and evergreen trees require more frequent cleaning to avoid buildup.

Rural Dust and Particulates

Wayne County and surrounding towns are situated in an rural region. Dust from field work, country roads, and harvesting settles on exterior surfaces, combining with moisture to create stubborn grime. This is especially noticeable on light-colored or light-colored siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

Is pressure washing okay for my home?

When performed right by experts using appropriate techniques, exterior cleaning is totally safe for your home. The answer is pairing the cleaning method to the surface. LuxWash technicians are experienced to assess surface materials and select the proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions. We use soft washing for sensitive surfaces like home exteriors, painted wood, and asphalt shingle roofs, using pressure washing for durable surfaces like concrete that can withstand it. We don't use pressure levels that could damage your property.

How often should I have my house cleaned?

Most homes in Apple Creek should have professional soft washing every 12-24 months. However, timing depends on several factors including shade, sun exposure, humidity exposure, and construction. Homes with lots of trees or with major north-facing wall area may need annual cleaning, while homes in sunny locations may go longer between cleanings. During your estimate, we can assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof washed?

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends professional soft washing about every half decade for asphalt shingle roofs, though homes with significant canopy or recurring algae problems may require additional treatment. Periodic roof cleaning prolongs shingle lifespan by eliminating damaging organisms and can help preserve your roof warranty, as many manufacturers consider algae damage avoidable owner responsibility.

What is the dark staining on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that eats calcium carbite filler in asphalt shingles. This organism produces a UV-protective sheath to protect itself from UV radiation, creating the typical black streaks. Beyond being ugly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to deteriorate faster by holding moisture and inhibiting proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment destroys this bacteria entirely, bringing back your roof's appearance and halting further damage.

Will pressure washing damage my plants and landscaping?

We take measures to preserve your landscaping during every project. Before cleaning, we completely wet down plants, shrubs, and grass around work areas. This pre-soaking neutralizes any cleaning solution that may contact vegetation. Our soft wash solutions are eco-friendly and decompose quickly, limiting environmental impact. After cleaning, we wash all surrounding landscaping again. In our years of service, we have not damaged customer landscaping when these protocols are followed.
