Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

Our company provides a complete range of exterior cleaning services engineered to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team have expertise in both high-pressure washing techniques for resilient surfaces and low-pressure soft washing methods for delicate materials that could be harmed by excessive water pressure.

Siding Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to thoroughly remove contaminants, and other buildup 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, fiber cement siding, exterior stucco, painted surfaces, and natural stone.

The weather conditions in our area creates perfect environments for biological growth on home exteriors. These growths don't just hurt your home's appearance but can also cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths at the source, killing the spores and stopping quick return. Most homes in our service area should have professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like tree cover, landscaping, and the way your home faces.

Surfaces we treat with soft washing:

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

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not dirt or sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a species of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that eats the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Without treatment, this algae growth causes early roof failure, cutting your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to major expense years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the low-pressure roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Pressure washing should not be used on shingle roofs because it can strip protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and push water underneath shingles where it causes water damage and deterioration. Our soft wash process delivers specialized cleaning solutions that kill all biological contamination without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Ugly discoloration vanish, uncovering the true color of your shingles. Even better, the treatment destroys organic growth at the root level, providing extended protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Apple Creek benefit from professional soft washing approximately every half decade, though homes with lots of shade may require regular treatment.

Roof types we service:

• Architectural shingles (three-tab and designer shingles)
• Wood shake and shake roofing
• Stone and tile roofs
• Metal roof systems
• Flat roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Driveway Pressure Washing

Concrete surfaces, paths, entertaining areas, and other hardscape surfaces are tough enough to withstand power washing, making them perfect for our power washing services. Over time, concrete collects grime and stains, spills, organic matter, and embedded dirt that standard 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 deep within without damaging the surface.

For Wayne County driveways and concrete surfaces, we use commercial surface cleaners that provide uniform cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that wand pressure washing nozzles can leave behind. This commercial equipment enables us to wash large areas quickly while delivering reliably pristine results across the entire surface.

Hardscape cleaning services include:

• Driveway cleaning and oil spot treatment
• Path and pedestrian surface cleaning
• Outdoor and pool surround washing
• Shop floor cleaning
• Landscape wall cleaning
• Interlocking paver and paver stone cleaning
• Stamped concrete cleaning

Concrete Sealing Services

After pressure washing 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 repels water, oil, and other contaminants, making future cleaning easier and eliminating damage from winter weather that are common during our winters. Sealed concrete also prevents staining, meaning drips and tire marks clean up fast instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that penetrate the concrete for invisible protection and film-forming 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, usage, and desired look.

Deck Cleaning Services

Decks and composite decking require periodic cleaning to maintain their beauty and strength. In Northeast Ohio's climate, decks are subjected to the elements, and temperature fluctuations that encourage organic growth. Without cleaning, these organisms deteriorate wood fibers, causing staining, soft spots, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service eliminates surface contaminants and prepares your deck for staining or treating. For wood decks made from treated pine, western red cedar, or redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that clean effectively without hurting wood grain or fuzzing excessively. Composite and Azek materials require more careful treatment, and our technicians adjust techniques accordingly to protect manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Natural wood cleaning and brightening
• Composite deck cleaning
• Stain and sealer surface prep
• Fungus and mildew elimination
• Slippery and organic buildup elimination

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is frequently the first thing visitors observe about your property, and a grimy, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wooden fence, vinyl, wrought iron or wrought iron, wire, or agricultural fencing, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to original condition.

Wooden fencing in Apple Creek are particularly vulnerable to algae, mold, and mildew 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 perfect preparation, promoting maximum adhesion and durable results.

Fencing we clean:

• Wooden fences (pressure-treated)
• Vinyl fencing
• Aluminum and metal fences
• Chainlink fencing
• Post and rail fencing

Gutter Service and Gutter Brightening

Blocked gutters cause water to back up and pool around your foundation, leading to water intrusion, foundation damage, and yard damage. Our gutter cleaning service extracts debris, grit, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, providing proper water flow away from your home.

In addition to interior gutter cleaning, we offer gutter whitening services that eliminate the dark lines and staining that develop on the outside of gutters. These stains are caused by environmental exposure and electrostatic bonding of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our specialized gutter brightening solutions release these bonds, bringing back your gutters to their original clean or colored finish.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

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

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment and Estimate

We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your property to evaluate cleaning needs, note any areas requiring focused treatment, 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 lets us to give you accurate pricing with no surprises. We measure surfaces, note any existing conditions, and discuss your questions and goals.

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take measures to safeguard your property. This includes covering patio furniture, securing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to prevent damage from cleaning solutions, and identifying any areas that require gentle treatment. We also trial cleaning solutions on discrete areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Thorough Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we implement the proper technique. Soft washing involves delivering our biodegradable cleaning solution at gentle pressure, giving it to sit and dissolve organic contaminants, then washing with gentle water. Pressure washing uses more pressure for hard surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners providing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly monitor results and adjust techniques as needed.

Step 4: Thorough 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 prevent water spots. Finally, we conduct a thorough inspection to confirm every area meets our quality standards.

Step 5: Final Review 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 total satisfaction before we consider the job complete. If any area does not meet your expectations, we handle it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Preferred to Pressure Washing for Many Surfaces

Many homeowners think that stronger force equals more effective cleaning, but this is not always the case. Power washing is ideal for resilient surfaces like cement, brick, and certain stone. However, using high pressure to softer materials causes major damage:

• Vinyl siding: High pressure can crack siding panels, drive water underneath siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
• Wood: High pressure splinters wood fibers, fuzzes, and can damage softer species.
• Shingles: Pressure washing strips protective granules, dramatically cutting roof lifespan.
• Painted surfaces: High pressure strips paint, requiring costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can penetrate stucco and compromise the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing addresses these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are specially formulated to kill organic growth at the source. The result is a deeper, more durable clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you power wash mold and algae, you may eliminate the visible growth, but roots remain embedded in the surface and return quickly. Soft washing destroys the organisms entirely, preventing rapid regrowth.

Tackling Wayne County's Specific Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the middle of Northeastern Ohio, an area characterized by moisture-laden air, freezing temperatures, and significant rainfall throughout the year. This climate creates unique challenges for exterior surfaces:

Moisture and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humid conditions, particularly during growing season, create perfect environments for organic growth spread. Homes with north-facing walls, lots of shade, or nearness to bodies of water experience increased organic growth. The dark staining you see on homes throughout Wayne County is not just unattractive; it is active growth actively feeding on and destroying your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Our winters subject exterior surfaces to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles. Water penetrates porous materials like concrete and wood, then expands as it freezes, causing cracks, spalling, and issues over time. Routine maintenance removes material and organic matter that hold moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide enhanced protection against water penetration.

Tree Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means numerous trees, which drop leaves, sap, pollen, and contaminants that build up on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and offers nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes surrounded by mature trees require regular cleaning to stop buildup.

Rural Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding Wayne County communities are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from agriculture, country roads, and field work settles on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create difficult grime. This is notably noticeable on light-colored or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

We don't use pressure levels that could damage your property.

How often should I have my house soft washed?
