Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

We offers a full range of exterior cleaning services engineered to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your Apple Creek property. Our crew specialize in both pressure washing techniques for resilient surfaces and low-pressure soft washing methods for vulnerable materials that could be harmed by high water pressure.

Siding Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water application combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to effectively remove organic growth, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which depends on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to remove grime, soft washing enables the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the recommended method for delicate surfaces including vinyl siding, James Hardie siding, EIFS, painted surfaces, and stone veneer.

The environmental factors in NE Ohio creates ideal conditions for biological growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants not only detract from your home's appearance but can also cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service removes these growths completely, destroying the spores and stopping recontamination. Most homes in Wayne County benefit from professional soft washing every 1-2 years, depending on factors like tree cover, foliage, and the orientation your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

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

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Apple Creek are not grime or residue. 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 accelerated wear, reducing your roof's lifespan and likely leading to expensive repairs years before necessary.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should not be used on asphalt shingle roofs because it can strip protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes structural problems and structural damage. Our gentle technique delivers specialized cleaning solutions that destroy algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Ugly discoloration disappear, revealing the actual shade of your shingles. Even better, the treatment kills organic growth permanently, providing lasting protection. Most shingle roofs in our area should receive professional soft washing roughly every five years, though homes with heavy tree coverage may require additional treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

• Composition shingles (three-tab and designer shingles)
• Natural cedar and wood roofing
• Slate and tile roofs
• Metal roofing systems
• Flat roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Hardscape Pressure Washing

Concrete driveways, walkways, outdoor living spaces, and other concrete surfaces are durable enough to withstand high-pressure washing, making them ideal candidates for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete gathers contamination, spills, green growth, and embedded dirt that normal water rinsing cannot touch. Our industrial pressure washing equipment delivers water at the ideal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to remove embedded contaminants from the surface without hurting the surface.

For Apple Creek driveways and concrete surfaces, we use industrial surface cleaners that provide uniform cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that standard pressure washing nozzles can leave behind. This commercial equipment lets us to clean large areas effectively while delivering consistently spotless results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

• Driveway restoration and stain removal

• Brick paver and hardscape cleaning
• Stamped concrete cleaning

Concrete Sealing Services

Sealed concrete also blocks staining, meaning accidents and tire marks don't penetrate instead of soaking into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that soak into the concrete for natural-look 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 concrete, traffic, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Washing Services

Our Professional Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a proven approach developed to guarantee outstanding results while protecting your property. Here is what you can anticipate when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Apple Creek:

Step 1: Free On-Site Evaluation and Estimate

We start with a thorough inspection of your property to evaluate cleaning needs, note any areas requiring extra care, and determine the best cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is different, we prefer to provide estimates in person rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you exact pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any existing conditions, and discuss your questions and expectations.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment Preparation

This includes protecting lawn items, closing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to protect them from cleaning solutions, and noting any areas that require extra attention. We also trial cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with unfamiliar surface types.

Step 3: Thorough Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we use the correct technique. Soft washing involves applying our plant-safe cleaning solution at reduced PSI, giving it to sit and destroy organic contaminants, then washing with soft water. Pressure washing uses more pressure for hard surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners ensuring consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we continuously monitor results and adjust techniques as needed.

Step 4: Final Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a thorough rinse of all treated surfaces and adjacent areas. We complete a crystal-clear rinse on windows and glass surfaces to eliminate water spots. Lastly, we conduct a careful inspection to ensure every area meets our quality 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 ensure your 100% satisfaction before we consider the job done. If any area falls short of your expectations, we handle it immediately.

Why Soft Washing is Better vs Pressure Washing for Many Surfaces

Many homeowners believe that more PSI equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. High-pressure washing is ideal for durable surfaces like hardscaping, brick, and certain stone. However, applying high pressure to delicate materials causes significant damage:

• Vinyl: High pressure can break siding panels, force water underneath siding into wall cavities, and void manufacturer warranties.
• Wood surfaces: High pressure splinters wood fibers, raises grain, and can gouge soft wood species.
• Shingles: Pressure washing strips protective granules, dramatically shortening roof lifespan.
• Painted wood: High pressure chips paint, requiring costly repainting.
• EIFS: Pressure can damage stucco and penetrate the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing addresses these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using high pressure. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to destroy biological contamination at the source. The result is a superior, more durable clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may clear the surface contamination, but spores remain deep in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms totally, stopping rapid regrowth.
