What We Stand For

Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

LuxWash provides a complete range of exterior cleaning services tailored to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team specialize in both power washing techniques for hard surfaces and soft washing methods for vulnerable materials that could be damaged by high water pressure.

House Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water application combined with environmentally safe cleaning solutions to thoroughly remove contaminants, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike standard pressure washing, which uses high PSI (pounds per square inch) to remove grime, soft washing allows the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the ideal method for sensitive surfaces including vinyl, fiber cement siding, EIFS, painted surfaces, and cultured stone.

The humid climate in Northeast Ohio fosters perfect environments for algae, mold, and mildew growth on home exteriors. These growths 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, killing the spores and inhibiting quick return. Most homes in Wayne County benefit from professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like sun exposure, proximity to trees, and the orientation your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The black streaks 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 roofing shingles. If ignored, this contamination causes premature shingle deterioration, reducing your roof's lifespan and likely leading to costly replacement years too soon.

LuxWash uses the soft wash roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Power washing should not be used on residential roofing because it can dislodge protective granules, void manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes leaks and deterioration. Our gentle technique delivers specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Dark stains are eliminated, exposing the original color of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment kills organic growth completely, providing lasting protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in our area benefit from professional soft washing roughly every half decade, though homes with heavy tree coverage may require additional treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

Concrete Washing

Driveways, walkways, entertaining areas, and other concrete surfaces are resilient enough to withstand power washing, making them perfect for our high-pressure cleaning services. Over time, concrete collects dirt, oil stains, rust stains, tire marks, grease, organic matter, and embedded dirt that standard garden hose rinsing cannot eliminate. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the ideal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to lift embedded contaminants from deep within without hurting the surface.

For local driveways and concrete surfaces, we use commercial surface cleaners that provide consistent cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that handheld pressure washing equipment can leave behind. This professional equipment lets us to restore large areas effectively while delivering uniformly perfect results across the entire surface.

Hardscape cleaning services include:

Protective Sealing Services

After cleaning your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to safeguard your hardscaping and prolong the life of your flatwork. Concrete sealers form a protective barrier that blocks moisture, and other contaminants, making maintenance less frequent and preventing damage from winter weather that are frequent during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also resists staining, meaning spills and tire marks clean up fast instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that absorb into the concrete for natural-look protection and topical sealers that create a glossy or satin finish for enhanced appearance. Our technicians will recommend the best sealer type based on your concrete, usage, and desired look.

Deck Restoration Services

Decks and synthetic decking require regular cleaning to maintain their look and condition. In Apple Creek's climate, decks are exposed to the elements, and seasonal changes that foster biological growth. Left alone, these organic contaminants break down wood fibers, causing staining, decay, and early failure.

Our deck cleaning service eliminates surface contaminants and prepares your deck for refinishing or sealing. For wood decks made from treated pine, western red cedar, or natural redwood, we use appropriate pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without damaging wood grain or raising fibers excessively. Composite and vinyl decking materials require softer treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to protect manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is frequently the opening impression visitors observe about your property, and a dirty, contaminated fence detracts from your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wooden fence, PVC fence, metal or wrought iron, wire, or agricultural fencing, LuxWash has the equipment and know-how to restore it to pristine condition.

Wood fences in Apple Creek are notably susceptible to organic growth due to our humid climate and precipitation. Our fence cleaning service removes these contaminants while protecting the wood's structure. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides perfect preparation, ensuring maximum adhesion and extended results.

Fence types we clean:

Gutter Maintenance and Gutter Brightening

Blocked gutters cause water to spill and collect around your foundation, resulting in water intrusion, foundation damage, and yard damage. Our gutter cleaning service extracts leaves, twigs, shingle granules, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, providing proper water flow away from your home.

Beyond interior gutter cleaning, we offer gutter whitening services that remove the tiger striping and staining that form on the outside of gutters. These stains are caused by chemical reaction and electrostatic bonding of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our specialized gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, restoring your gutters to their factory bright or colored finish.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a methodical approach designed to guarantee exceptional results while safeguarding your property. Here is what you can look forward to when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Wayne County:

Step 1: Complimentary On-Site Evaluation and Estimate

We assess surfaces, note any existing conditions, and discuss your specific concerns and expectations.

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take precautions to preserve your property. This includes protecting outdoor furniture, shutting windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to protect them from cleaning solutions, and identifying any areas that require special care. We also trial cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Expert Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the appropriate technique. Soft washing involves delivering our eco-friendly cleaning solution at low pressure, letting it to work and break down organic contaminants, then washing with low-pressure water. Pressure washing uses more pressure for resilient surfaces like concrete, with our professional surface cleaners guaranteeing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly check 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 spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to avoid water spots. Then, we conduct a careful inspection to verify every area meets our professional standards.

Why Soft Washing is Better vs Pressure Washing for Many Surfaces

Many homeowners assume that more PSI equals better cleaning, but this is rarely the case. High-pressure washing is effective for durable surfaces like cement, block, and specific stone. However, directing high pressure to softer materials causes significant damage:

Soft washing addresses these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using high pressure. Our soft wash solutions are specifically formulated to destroy biological contamination at the root. The result is a deeper, extended 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 spores remain deep in the surface and regrow quickly. Soft washing destroys the organisms entirely, stopping rapid regrowth.

Addressing Wayne County's Local Cleaning Challenges

Apple Creek sits in Wayne County in the heart of Northeast Ohio, an area characterized by humid summers, cold winters, and significant rainfall throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

The ugly staining you see on exterior surfaces throughout Wayne County is not just unattractive; it is biological matter actively degrading and destroying your property's surfaces.

Winter Weather

Our winters subject exterior surfaces to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters porous materials like concrete and wood, then swells as it freezes, causing cracks, surface failure, and problems over time. Routine maintenance removes debris and organic matter that trap moisture against surfaces, while protective coatings provide enhanced protection against water intrusion.

Natural Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means numerous trees, which deposit organic debris, and organic debris that accumulate on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris retains moisture and supplies nutrients for mold and algae growth. Homes adjacent to oak, maple, and pine trees require additional cleaning to avoid buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Wayne County and surrounding towns are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from agriculture, unpaved roads, and plowing deposits on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create stubborn grime. This is notably noticeable on white or white siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.
