Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

Our company delivers a comprehensive range of exterior cleaning services tailored to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your Apple Creek property. Our crew are trained in both high-pressure washing techniques for resilient surfaces and soft washing methods for vulnerable materials that could be ruined by too much water pressure.

House Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses gentle water pressure combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to effectively remove contaminants, and other biological matter from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which uses high PSI (pounds per square inch) to strip off grime, soft washing allows the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the preferred method for vulnerable surfaces including home siding, James Hardie siding, stucco, wood siding, and cultured stone.

The environmental factors in NE Ohio creates perfect environments for algae, mold, and mildew growth on home exteriors. These organisms don't just diminish your home's appearance but can also cause harm to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths completely, eliminating the spores and inhibiting recontamination. Most homes in our service area should have professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like shade coverage, landscaping, and the way your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

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

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The black streaks you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not debris or tree sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that eats the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Without treatment, this infestation causes accelerated wear, shortening your roof's lifespan and potentially leading to expensive repairs years before necessary.

LuxWash uses the soft wash roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should never be used on asphalt shingle roofs because it can strip protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and force water underneath shingles where it causes leaks and structural damage. Our gentle technique delivers professional-grade 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. Black streaks vanish, revealing the original color of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment destroys organic growth permanently, providing lasting protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in our area should receive professional soft washing roughly every five years, though homes with significant canopy may require regular treatment.

Roofs we service:

• Composition shingles (3-tab and architectural shingles)
• Wood shake and wood shingle roofs
• Stone and concrete tile
• Metal roof systems
• Flat roof membranes (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Driveway Cleaning

Concrete driveways, walkways, outdoor living spaces, and other concrete surfaces are resilient enough to withstand high-pressure washing, making them well-suited for our power washing services. Over time, concrete gathers dirt, oil stains, rust stains, tire marks, grease, green growth, and stubborn buildup that regular water rinsing cannot remove. Our industrial pressure washing equipment delivers water at the optimal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to remove embedded contaminants from concrete pores without damaging the surface.

For Apple Creek driveways and concrete surfaces, we use industrial surface cleaners that provide uniform cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that wand pressure washing wands can leave behind. This specialized equipment lets us to restore large areas efficiently while delivering uniformly spotless results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and stain removal
• Path and walkway cleaning
• Patio and deck cleaning
• Garage floor cleaning
• Retaining wall cleaning
• Paver and hardscape cleaning
• Textured concrete cleaning

Protective Sealing Services

After pressure washing your concrete surfaces, consider adding our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and prolong the life of your concrete. Concrete sealers establish a protective barrier that resists liquids, and other contaminants, making upkeep easier and stopping damage from ice expansion that are common during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also blocks staining, meaning spills and tire marks clean up fast instead of penetrating the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that penetrate the concrete for invisible protection and topical sealers that create a shiny or matte finish for upgraded appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your application, usage, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Restoration Services

Wood decks and synthetic decking require routine cleaning to maintain their look and condition. In Northeast Ohio's climate, decks are hit by the elements, and seasonal changes that promote mold, mildew, and algae growth. Left alone, these organisms deteriorate wood fibers, causing fading, decay, and structural problems.

Our deck cleaning service strips away surface contaminants and prepares your deck for sealing or treating. For wood decks made from PT wood, cedar, or California redwood, we use correct pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without damaging wood grain or raising fibers excessively. Composite and vinyl decking materials require more careful treatment, and our technicians adjust techniques accordingly to protect manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Wood deck cleaning and restoration
• Trex cleaning
• Deck stain and sealer surface prep
• Mildew and mildew removal
• Algae and biological contamination elimination

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is frequently the first thing visitors observe about your property, and a grimy, contaminated fence diminishes your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a wood privacy fence, PVC fence, metal or ornamental iron, chainlink, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and expertise to restore it to original condition.

Wood fences in Apple Creek are particularly vulnerable to algae, mold, and mildew due to our weather patterns and frequent rain. Our fence cleaning service removes these contaminants while maintaining the wood's structure. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, ensuring optimal adhesion and durable results.

Fences we clean:

• Wood privacy fences (pine)
• PVC fencing
• Aluminum and steel fences
• Wire fencing
• Split rail fencing

Gutter Cleaning and Exterior Gutter Cleaning

Blocked gutters cause water to overflow and collect around your foundation, resulting in basement flooding, structural issues, and washouts. Our gutter cleaning service removes leaves, twigs, shingle granules, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, guaranteeing proper water flow away from your home.

Besides interior gutter cleaning, we offer exterior gutter cleaning services that eliminate the dark lines and discoloration that appear on the front of gutters. These stains are caused by oxidation and electrostatic bonding of dirt and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our specialized gutter brightening solutions dissolve these bonds, bringing back your gutters to their like-new white or colored finish.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a methodical approach designed to deliver superior results while safeguarding your property. Here is what you can anticipate when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Apple Creek:

Step 1: No-Cost On-Site Evaluation and Estimate

We kick off with a detailed inspection of your property to determine cleaning needs, identify any areas requiring focused treatment, and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is unique, we prefer to provide estimates face-to-face rather than over the phone. This allows us to give you precise pricing with no surprises. We measure surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your questions and expectations.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning starts, we take precautions to safeguard your property. This includes moving patio furniture, securing windows and doors, pre-soaking plants and landscaping to prevent damage from cleaning solutions, and noting any areas that require extra attention. We also test cleaning solutions on hidden areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Thorough Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the correct technique. Soft washing involves spraying our biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure, letting it to work and break down organic contaminants, then washing with soft water. Pressure washing uses increased force for durable surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners guaranteeing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly 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 surrounding areas. We complete a crystal-clear rinse on windows and glass surfaces to prevent water spots. Finally, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure every area meets our exacting standards.

Step 5: Final Review and Satisfaction Confirmation

If you are home during service, we encourage you to walk through the completed work with us. We want you to see the results and confirm your complete satisfaction before we consider the job done. If any area misses your expectations, we handle it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Preferred to Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners assume that stronger force equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. Power washing is effective for hard surfaces like cement, brick, and some types of stone. However, directing high pressure to softer materials causes significant damage:

• Siding: High pressure can damage siding panels, drive water underneath siding into wall cavities, and invalidate manufacturer warranties.
• Wood surfaces: Excessive pressure damages wood fibers, raises grain, and can gouge soft wood species.
• Asphalt shingles: Pressure washing dislodges protective granules, severely shortening roof lifespan.
• Paint: High pressure peels paint, leading to costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can crack stucco and compromise the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing solves these problems by having cleaning chemistry do the work instead of depending on excessive PSI. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to kill biological contamination at the root. The result is a more thorough, longer-lasting clean that stays clean as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you pressure wash mold and algae, you may remove the obvious problem, but roots remain embedded in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms entirely, stopping rapid regrowth.

Understanding Wayne County's Unique Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the center of NE Ohio, an area known by moisture-laden air, harsh winters, and frequent precipitation throughout the year. This climate creates unique challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humid conditions, particularly during spring and summer, create ideal conditions for algae, mold, and mildew growth. Homes with north-facing walls, heavy tree coverage, or proximity to bodies of water experience increased organic growth. The dark staining you see on exterior surfaces throughout Apple Creek is not just unsightly; it is active growth constantly consuming and damaging your property's surfaces.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Our winters subject exterior surfaces to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters porous materials like concrete and wood, then expands as it freezes, causing cracks, spalling, and structural damage over time. Regular cleaning removes material and organic matter that trap moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide enhanced protection against water intrusion.

Organic Matter and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means abundant trees, which drop natural matter, and material that collect on roofs, gutters, and other surfaces. This debris holds moisture and provides nutrients for mold and algae growth. Homes adjacent to oak, maple, and pine trees require additional cleaning to stop buildup.

Rural Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding areas are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from field work, country roads, and field work lands on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create persistent grime. This is especially noticeable on pale or white siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

What is the black stuff on my roof?

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

Beyond being unattractive, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to fail faster by trapping moisture and inhibiting proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment kills this bacteria entirely, returning your roof's appearance and preventing further damage.
