Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

We delivers a complete range of exterior cleaning services engineered to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team specialize in both power washing techniques for durable surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for sensitive materials that could be harmed by too much water pressure.

House Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to effectively 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 strip off grime, soft washing enables the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the recommended method for vulnerable surfaces including home siding, James Hardie siding, EIFS, wood siding, and stone veneer.

The humid climate in NE Ohio creates optimal situations for biological growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants don't just hurt your home's appearance but can even cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service removes these growths completely, eliminating the spores and stopping recontamination. Most homes in our service area benefit from professional soft washing every 1-2 years, depending on factors like shade coverage, landscaping, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we clean with soft washing:

• Vinyl siding and aluminum siding
• Hardie board and fiber cement siding
• Painted wood siding and trim
• Brick exteriors and block surfaces
• Stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Natural stone and limestone
• Wood shake and natural wood exteriors

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The dark streaks you see on roofs throughout Apple Creek are not grime or sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that consumes the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Without treatment, this infestation causes early roof failure, shortening your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to expensive repairs years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should never be used on shingle roofs because it can dislodge protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes water damage and structural damage. Our soft wash process delivers specialized cleaning solutions that eliminate organic growth without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Dark stains are eliminated, exposing the actual shade of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment destroys organic growth completely, providing lasting protection. Most roofs in our area should receive professional soft washing about every half decade, though homes with heavy tree coverage may require more frequent treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

• Architectural shingles (three-tab and architectural shingles)
• Cedar shake and shake roofing
• Slate and concrete tile
• Metal roof systems
• Commercial roofing (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Concrete Washing

Driveways, walkways, patios, and other concrete surfaces are durable enough to withstand pressure washing, making them well-suited for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete gathers grime and stains, spills, algae, and stubborn buildup that normal water rinsing cannot remove. Our professional pressure washing equipment delivers water at the ideal 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 consistent cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that standard pressure washing wands can leave behind. This commercial equipment lets us to restore large areas effectively while delivering reliably spotless results across the entire surface.

Flatwork cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and degreasing
• Sidewalk and pedestrian surface cleaning
• Outdoor and pool deck restoration
• Shop floor cleaning
• Retaining wall cleaning
• Interlocking paver and paver stone cleaning
• Stamped concrete cleaning

Driveway Sealing Services

After pressure washing your concrete surfaces, consider adding our concrete sealing service to protect your investment and maximize the life of your flatwork. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that repels moisture, and other contaminants, making upkeep simpler and preventing damage from ice expansion that are common during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also prevents staining, meaning drips and tire marks wipe away easily instead of penetrating the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that penetrate the concrete for invisible protection and surface sealers that create a shiny or matte finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will recommend the best sealer type based on your application, usage, and style.

Deck Cleaning Services

Outdoor decks and synthetic decking require routine cleaning to protect their beauty and condition. In Wayne County's climate, decks are hit by the elements, and seasonal changes that foster organic growth. Left alone, these organic contaminants break down wood fibers, causing discoloration, soft spots, and premature deterioration.

Our deck cleaning service eliminates surface contaminants and prepares your deck for refinishing or treating. For wood decks made from treated pine, natural cedar, or natural redwood, we use appropriate pressure levels and cleaning solutions that get results without damaging wood grain or fuzzing excessively. Synthetic and Azek materials require more careful treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to protect manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Lumber cleaning and restoration
• TimberTech cleaning
• Stain and sealer preparation
• Mildew and mildew elimination
• Algae and biological contamination elimination

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is frequently the opening impression visitors see about your property, and a stained, green fence detracts from your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wood privacy fence, vinyl, aluminum or ornamental iron, chainlink, or farm fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to like-new condition.

Wooden fencing in our area 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 refinish their wood fence, our cleaning service provides ideal preparation, promoting maximum adhesion and durable results.

Fences we clean:

• Wood privacy fences (redwood)
• PVC fencing
• Wrought iron and wrought iron fences
• Chain link fencing
• Post and rail fencing

Gutter Maintenance and Gutter Whitening

Blocked gutters cause water to spill and pool around your foundation, resulting in foundation problems, structural issues, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service removes organic matter, 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 clean the black streaks and discoloration that appear on the exterior face of gutters. These stains are caused by chemical reaction and bonding of grime 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.

The LuxWash Cleaning Process

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

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment and Estimate

We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your property to assess cleaning needs, note any areas requiring focused treatment, and determine the ideal cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is individual, we prefer to provide estimates on-site rather than over the phone. This allows us to give you exact pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your questions and goals.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take measures to protect your property. This includes moving outdoor furniture, securing windows and doors, wetting down plants and landscaping to protect them from cleaning solutions, and noting any areas that require gentle treatment. We also trial cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with unfamiliar surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we implement the correct technique. Soft washing involves delivering our biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure, letting it to sit and destroy organic contaminants, then flushing with soft water. Pressure washing uses increased force for hard surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners guaranteeing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly monitor results and fine-tune techniques as needed.

Step 4: Final 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 eliminate water spots. Then, we conduct a careful inspection to confirm every area meets our exacting standards.

Step 5: Walk-Through and Satisfaction Confirmation

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 verify your total satisfaction before we consider the job complete. If any area falls short of your expectations, we handle it right away.

Why Soft Washing is Superior to Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners believe that more PSI equals more effective cleaning, but this is often not the case. Pressure washing is ideal for hard surfaces like hardscaping, block, and specific stone. However, directing high pressure to delicate materials causes significant damage:

• Siding: High pressure can crack siding panels, drive water into siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
• Natural wood: Excessive pressure splinters wood fibers, raises grain, and can scar softer species.
• Roofing: Pressure washing dislodges protective granules, severely shortening roof lifespan.
• Paint: High pressure peels paint, necessitating costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can damage stucco and penetrate the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing eliminates these problems by having cleaning chemistry do the work instead of relying on excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are specifically formulated to eliminate biological contamination at the root. The result is a superior, longer-lasting clean that does not return as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may eliminate the obvious problem, but roots remain embedded in the surface and return quickly. Soft washing destroys the organisms completely, stopping rapid regrowth.

Understanding Northeast Ohio's Local Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the center of NE Ohio, an area known 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, foster optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew proliferation. Homes with limited sun exposure, dense canopy, or proximity to bodies of water experience increased organic growth. The ugly staining you see on homes throughout Wayne County is not just ugly; it is active growth continuously degrading and damaging your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Cold months subject exterior surfaces to cyclical freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into porous materials like concrete and wood, then expands as it freezes, causing deterioration, flaking, and structural damage over time. Periodic washing removes debris and organic matter that hold moisture against surfaces, while protective coatings provide enhanced protection against water penetration.

Natural Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's rural character means abundant trees, which drop natural matter, and organic debris that accumulate on roofs, gutters, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and supplies nutrients for mold and algae growth. Homes near deciduous and evergreen trees require regular cleaning to stop buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Our area and surrounding towns are situated in an rural region. Dust from agriculture, gravel roads, and harvesting lands on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create persistent grime. This is especially noticeable on light-colored or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

How much does pressure washing cost in Apple Creek?

We use soft washing for vulnerable surfaces like home exteriors, painted wood, and shingles, reserving high-pressure washing for durable surfaces like concrete that can take it. We don't use pressure levels that could harm your property.

How often should I have my house cleaned?

Most homes in Wayne County need professional soft washing every 1-2 years. However, frequency depends on several factors including canopy, shade, humidity exposure, and construction.

During your estimate, we can assess your specific situation and recommend an optimal maintenance schedule.

What is the black streaks on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a microorganism that consumes limestone filler in asphalt shingles.
