What We Stand For

Comprehensive Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

We delivers a complete range of exterior cleaning services engineered to handle every surface and cleaning challenge on your Apple Creek property. Our technicians specialize in both high-pressure washing techniques for durable surfaces and low-pressure soft washing methods for vulnerable materials that could be ruined by excessive water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a professional cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove contaminants, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike traditional 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 preferred method for vulnerable surfaces including vinyl, Hardie board, stucco, wood siding, and stone veneer.

The environmental factors in our area produces ideal conditions for algae, mold, and mildew growth on home exteriors. These growths not only diminish your home's appearance but can actually cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service eliminates these growths completely, killing the spores and inhibiting rapid regrowth. Most homes in our service area should have professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like sun exposure, landscaping, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Apple Creek are not debris or sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a type of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles. Left untreated, this algae growth causes accelerated wear, shortening your roof's lifespan and potentially leading to major expense years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the low-pressure roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should never be used on residential roofing because it can remove protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and force water underneath shingles where it causes structural problems and structural damage. Our low-pressure application delivers commercial cleaning solutions that destroy all biological contamination without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Dark stains vanish, uncovering the original color of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment eliminates organic growth permanently, providing long-term protection. Most shingle roofs in our area should receive professional soft washing roughly every five years, though homes with significant canopy may require additional treatment.

Roof types we service:

Hardscape Cleaning

Concrete surfaces, paths, patios, and other flatwork surfaces are durable enough to withstand power washing, making them ideal candidates for our high-pressure cleaning services. Over time, concrete accumulates grime and stains, grease, algae, and embedded dirt that standard hose rinsing cannot touch. Our industrial pressure washing equipment delivers water at the perfect PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to lift embedded contaminants from the surface without harming the surface.

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

Flatwork cleaning services include:

Protective Sealing Services

After restoring your concrete surfaces, ask about our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and maximize the life of your flatwork. Concrete sealers establish a protective barrier that repels moisture, and other contaminants, making maintenance simpler and stopping damage from freeze-thaw cycles that are common during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also prevents staining, meaning accidents and tire marks clean up fast instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that soak into the concrete for natural-look protection and film-forming sealers that create a glossy or matte finish for enhanced appearance. Our technicians will recommend the best sealer type based on your concrete, needs, and style.

Deck Restoration and Restoration

Outdoor decks and Trex decking require periodic cleaning to maintain their appearance and structural integrity. In Northeast Ohio's climate, decks are subjected to rain, snow, humidity, and seasonal changes that foster organic growth. Left alone, these organic contaminants break down wood fibers, causing staining, rot, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service eliminates surface contaminants and preps your deck for staining or protecting. For wood decks made from pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or natural redwood, we use correct pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without damaging wood grain or fuzzing excessively. Composite and vinyl decking materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians adapt techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is often the first thing visitors see about your property, and a stained, green fence diminishes your home's overall curb appeal. Whether you have a wood privacy fence, vinyl fencing, aluminum or ornamental iron, chain link, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to pristine condition.

Wooden fencing in our area are notably prone to algae, mold, and mildew due to our weather patterns and precipitation. Our fence cleaning service removes these contaminants while maintaining the wood's condition. For homeowners planning to refinish their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, guaranteeing maximum adhesion and extended results.

Fences we clean:

Gutter Maintenance and Gutter Brightening

Clogged gutters cause water to back up and accumulate around your foundation, leading to foundation problems, foundation damage, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service removes leaves, twigs, grit, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, providing proper water flow away from your home.

Besides interior gutter cleaning, we offer gutter whitening services that remove the tiger striping and tiger striping that develop on the front of gutters. These stains are caused by oxidation and bonding of pollutants and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our professional gutter brightening solutions release these bonds, bringing back your gutters to their factory white or colored finish.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take precautions to preserve your property. This includes moving lawn items, closing windows and doors, wetting down plants and landscaping to protect them from cleaning solutions, and noting any areas that require special care. We also trial cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Thorough Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the appropriate technique. Soft washing involves delivering our plant-safe cleaning solution at low pressure, letting it to work and dissolve organic contaminants, then rinsing with soft water. Pressure washing uses increased force for durable surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners ensuring even coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly check results and adjust techniques as needed.

Step 4: Thorough Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a complete rinse of all treated surfaces and nearby areas. We complete a streak-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to prevent water spots. Then, we conduct a careful inspection to ensure every area meets our professional standards.

If you are home during service, we invite you to walk through the completed work with us. We want you to see the results and confirm your 100% satisfaction before we consider the job done. If any area misses your expectations, we handle it right away.

Why Soft Washing is Superior Over Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners believe that more PSI equals superior cleaning, but this is often not the case. High-pressure washing is ideal for resilient surfaces like concrete, masonry, and certain stone. However, directing high pressure to delicate materials causes significant damage:

Soft washing solves these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of depending on excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are specifically formulated to kill mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the source. The result is a superior, longer-lasting clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may clear the visible growth, but spores remain hidden in the surface and return quickly. Soft washing destroys the organisms totally, eliminating rapid regrowth.

Addressing Wayne County's Specific Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the heart of Northeast Ohio, an area defined by moisture-laden air, harsh winters, 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, produce perfect environments for algae, mold, and mildew growth. Homes with limited sun exposure, lots of shade, or nearness to wetlands experience increased organic growth. The dark staining you see on homes throughout Apple Creek is not just ugly; it is active growth constantly feeding on and damaging your property's surfaces.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Ohio winters subject exterior surfaces to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into concrete and wood like concrete and wood, then swells as it freezes, causing damage, flaking, and issues over time. Routine maintenance removes material and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while sealers provide additional protection against water intrusion.

Organic Matter and Pollen

Wayne County's natural setting means numerous trees, which deposit natural matter, and organic debris that collect on surfaces, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and offers nutrients for mold and algae growth. Homes surrounded by deciduous and evergreen trees require additional cleaning to avoid buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Our area and surrounding areas are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from field work, country roads, and plowing settles on exterior surfaces, combining with moisture to create difficult grime. This is especially noticeable on white or light-colored siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

Is pressure washing good for my home?

When performed properly by skilled technicians using correct techniques, exterior cleaning is completely safe for your home. The answer is matching the cleaning method to the surface. LuxWash technicians are experienced to identify surface materials and select the appropriate pressure levels and cleaning solutions. We use soft washing for delicate surfaces like home exteriors, trim, and shingles, reserving high-pressure washing for hard surfaces like concrete that can withstand it. We don't use pressure levels that could harm your property.

How often should I have my house washed?

Most homes in Apple Creek should have professional soft washing every 1-2 years. However, frequency depends on your situation including shade, shade, environmental factors, and construction. Homes with lots of trees or with major north-facing wall area may need annual cleaning, while homes in more open locations may go two years between cleanings. During your estimate, we can assess your specific situation and recommend an optimal maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof soft washed?

Regular roof cleaning prolongs shingle lifespan by destroying damaging organisms and can help protect your manufacturer warranty, as many manufacturers consider algae damage avoidable maintenance neglect.

What is the black streaks on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that consumes limestone filler in asphalt shingles. This organism produces a black sheath to survive from UV radiation, creating the familiar black staining. Beyond being ugly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to fail faster by trapping moisture and inhibiting proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment kills this bacteria completely, bringing back your roof's appearance and preventing further damage.

Will pressure washing damage my plants and landscaping?

We take measures to preserve your landscaping during every project. Before cleaning, we generously pre-soak plants, shrubs, and grass near work areas.

After cleaning, we rinse all nearby landscaping again. In our years of service, we have not damaged customer landscaping when these protocols are followed.
