What We Stand For

Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

Our company delivers a complete range of exterior cleaning services designed to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your Wayne County property. Our crew are trained in both power washing techniques for resilient surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for vulnerable materials that could be damaged by high water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to effectively remove organic growth, and other biological matter from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike conventional pressure washing, which relies on 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 delicate surfaces including home siding, fiber cement siding, exterior stucco, painted surfaces, and cultured stone.

The environmental factors in our area produces ideal conditions for biological growth on home exteriors. These organisms don't just hurt your home's appearance but can actually cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service removes these growths completely, eliminating the spores and inhibiting recontamination. Most homes in Apple Creek should have professional soft washing every 12-24 months, depending on factors like sun exposure, proximity to trees, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we treat with soft washing:

Roof Cleaning Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Wayne County are not dirt or residue. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (algae) that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. If ignored, this algae growth causes early roof failure, shortening your roof's lifespan and likely leading to expensive repairs years before necessary.

LuxWash uses the soft wash roof cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Power washing should never be used on asphalt shingle roofs because it can remove protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and push water underneath shingles where it causes water damage and structural damage. Our low-pressure application delivers specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Ugly discoloration vanish, revealing the true color of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment destroys organic growth permanently, providing lasting protection. Most roofs in our area should receive professional soft washing roughly every 5 years, though homes with heavy tree coverage may require more frequent treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

Hardscape Pressure Washing

Concrete driveways, paths, outdoor living spaces, and other concrete surfaces are resilient enough to withstand power washing, making them well-suited for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete gathers contamination, grease, green growth, and stubborn buildup that normal hose rinsing cannot eliminate. Our professional pressure washing equipment delivers water at the ideal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to extract embedded contaminants from deep within without harming the surface.

For Apple Creek driveways and concrete surfaces, we use commercial surface cleaners that provide even cleaning coverage without the striping patterns that handheld pressure washing wands can leave behind. This specialized equipment enables us to wash large areas effectively while delivering uniformly perfect results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

Protective Sealing Services

After cleaning your concrete surfaces, ask about our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and extend the life of your hardscaping. Concrete sealers establish a protective barrier that blocks moisture, and other contaminants, making upkeep simpler and eliminating damage from ice expansion that are typical during our winters. Sealed concrete also prevents staining, meaning spills and tire marks wipe away easily instead of soaking into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that soak into the concrete for undetectable protection and film-forming sealers that create a wet-look or natural finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will suggest the best sealer type based on your surface, needs, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Cleaning Services

Decks and composite decking require periodic cleaning to maintain their look and structural integrity. In Northeast Ohio's climate, decks are exposed to the elements, and seasonal changes that promote organic growth. Untreated, these growths break down wood fibers, causing staining, rot, and structural problems.

Our deck cleaning service eliminates surface contaminants and readies your deck for refinishing or treating. For wood decks made from PT wood, western red cedar, or redwood, we use correct pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without harming wood grain or raising fibers excessively. Synthetic and PVC decking materials require more careful treatment, and our technicians adjust techniques accordingly to protect manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is often the initial element visitors see about your property, and a stained, algae-covered fence hurts your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wood privacy fence, PVC fence, aluminum or ornamental iron, wire, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and expertise to restore it to original condition.

Natural wood fences in our area are particularly vulnerable to organic growth due to our weather patterns and frequent rain. Our fence cleaning service destroys these contaminants while maintaining the wood's condition. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, guaranteeing maximum adhesion and long-lasting results.

Fencing we clean:

Gutter Cleaning and Gutter Whitening

Full gutters cause water to overflow and accumulate around your foundation, leading to water intrusion, structural issues, and yard damage. Our gutter cleaning service removes organic matter, shingle granules, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, ensuring proper water flow away from your home.

In addition to interior gutter cleaning, we offer exterior gutter cleaning services that clean the dark lines and tiger striping that develop on the exterior face of gutters. These stains are caused by environmental exposure and electrostatic bonding of pollutants and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our professional gutter brightening solutions release these bonds, bringing back your gutters to their like-new bright or colored finish.

We also trial cleaning solutions on inconspicuous areas when working with new surface types.

Soft washing involves delivering our plant-safe cleaning solution at reduced PSI, letting it to work and destroy organic contaminants, then rinsing with gentle water.

Why Soft Washing is Superior to Pressure Washing for Delicate Surfaces

Many homeowners believe that stronger force equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. Pressure washing is great for resilient surfaces like hardscaping, block, and certain stone. However, applying high pressure to softer materials causes major damage:

Soft washing eliminates these problems by allowing cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using brute force. Our soft wash solutions are specially formulated to destroy mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the source. The result is a superior, longer-lasting clean that does not return as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you pressure wash mold and algae, you may remove the obvious problem, but spores remain hidden in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms totally, stopping rapid regrowth.

Addressing Wayne County's Unique Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the center of Northeastern Ohio, an area defined by humid summers, freezing temperatures, and significant rainfall throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's moisture content, particularly during warm months, foster ideal conditions for organic growth growth. Homes with shaded areas, dense canopy, or location near ponds experience increased organic growth. The green and black staining you see on exterior surfaces throughout Wayne County is not just unattractive; it is living organisms continuously feeding on and destroying your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Ohio winters subject exterior surfaces to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into porous materials like concrete and wood, then grows as it freezes, causing cracks, spalling, and structural damage over time. Periodic washing removes material and organic matter that trap moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide extra protection against water infiltration.

Natural Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means abundant trees, which drop organic debris, and organic debris that collect on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and offers nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes adjacent to mature trees require more frequent cleaning to avoid buildup.

Farm Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding areas are situated in an farming region. Dust from farming operations, gravel roads, and plowing settles on exterior surfaces, mixing with moisture to create persistent grime. This is particularly noticeable on light-colored or white siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

Is pressure washing okay for my home?

When performed right by experts using correct techniques, exterior cleaning is totally safe for your home. The answer is matching the cleaning method to the surface. LuxWash technicians are skilled to recognize surface materials and select the proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions. We use soft washing for sensitive surfaces like siding, painted wood, and roofing, using power washing for tough surfaces like concrete that can handle it. We never use pressure levels that could hurt your property.

How often should I have my house soft washed?

Most homes in Northeast Ohio benefit from professional soft washing every 12-24 months. However, schedule depends on several factors including canopy, shade, environmental factors, and exterior type. Homes with lots of trees or with major north-facing wall area may need annual cleaning, while homes in more open locations may go longer between cleanings. During your estimate, we can evaluate your specific situation and recommend an optimal maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof washed?

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends professional soft washing approximately every 5 years for asphalt shingle roofs, though homes with significant canopy or ongoing algae problems may require regular treatment. Routine roof cleaning prolongs shingle lifespan by destroying algae and mold and can help preserve your coverage, as many manufacturers consider algae damage preventable owner responsibility.

What is the black stuff on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on calcium carbite filler in asphalt shingles. This organism develops a dark pigmented sheath to protect itself from UV radiation, creating the familiar black staining. Beyond being unsightly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to fail faster by holding moisture and inhibiting proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment eliminates this bacteria entirely, bringing back your roof's appearance and halting further damage.

Will pressure washing hurt my plants and landscaping?

We take measures to preserve your landscaping during every project. Before cleaning, we thoroughly wet down vegetation adjacent to work areas. This saturation neutralizes any cleaning solution that may contact vegetation. Our soft wash solutions are eco-friendly and break down quickly, limiting environmental impact. After cleaning, we rinse all nearby landscaping again. In our years of service, we have not damaged customer landscaping when these precautions are followed.
