Complete Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

We provides a full range of exterior cleaning services engineered to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team specialize in both power washing techniques for hard surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for delicate materials that could be damaged by too much water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to effectively remove contaminants, and other buildup 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 ideal method for delicate surfaces including vinyl, fiber cement siding, EIFS, painted wood, and natural stone.

The environmental factors in our area produces ideal conditions for algae, mold, and mildew growth on home exteriors. These growths not only hurt your home's appearance but can even cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service eliminates these growths at the root, killing the spores and preventing quick return. Most homes in our service area should have professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like shade coverage, proximity to trees, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we treat with soft washing:

• Vinyl exterior and aluminum siding
• HardiePlank and fiber cement siding
• Wood siding and trim
• Brick and masonry surfaces
• Stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Cultured stone and natural stone
• Cedar shake and wood shingle siding

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The dark streaks you see on roofs throughout Apple Creek are not debris or sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a species 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 likely leading to costly replacement years before necessary.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Power washing should not be used on residential roofing because it can remove protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes water damage and rot. Our low-pressure application delivers commercial cleaning solutions that destroy organic growth without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Dark stains disappear, exposing the true color of your shingles. Even better, the treatment kills organic growth permanently, providing lasting protection. Most shingle roofs in Apple Creek should receive professional soft washing approximately every 5 years, though homes with lots of shade may require additional treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

• Composition shingles (3-tab and architectural shingles)
• Wood shake and wood roofing
• Slate and tile roofs
• Metal roof systems
• Commercial roofing (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Concrete Pressure Washing

Driveways, walkways, entertaining areas, and other hardscape surfaces are resilient enough to withstand pressure washing, making them well-suited for our power washing services. Over time, concrete accumulates contamination, spills, organic matter, and embedded dirt that normal garden hose rinsing cannot remove. Our professional pressure washing equipment delivers water at the ideal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to remove embedded contaminants from deep within without damaging the surface.

For local driveways and concrete surfaces, we use commercial surface cleaners that provide even cleaning coverage without the striping patterns that handheld pressure washing nozzles can leave behind. This commercial equipment allows us to restore large areas efficiently while delivering consistently perfect results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and oil spot treatment
• Walkway and pedestrian surface cleaning
• Outdoor and deck cleaning
• Shop floor cleaning
• Retaining wall cleaning
• Interlocking paver and paver stone cleaning
• Decorative concrete cleaning

Protective Sealing Services

After pressure washing your concrete surfaces, ask about our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and maximize the life of your hardscaping. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that repels moisture, and other contaminants, making future cleaning simpler and preventing damage from freeze-thaw cycles that are frequent during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also prevents staining, meaning drips and tire marks clean up fast instead of penetrating the porous concrete surface.

We offer both penetrating sealers that soak into the concrete for natural-look protection and surface sealers that create a glossy or matte finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your surface, needs, and desired look.

Deck Washing Services

Wood decks and Trex decking require regular cleaning to maintain their appearance and strength. In Apple Creek's climate, decks are hit by the elements, and seasonal changes that encourage biological growth. Without cleaning, these organisms deteriorate wood fibers, causing discoloration, soft spots, and early failure.

Our deck cleaning service removes surface contaminants and prepares your deck for sealing or sealing. For wood decks made from pressure-treated lumber, western red cedar, or natural redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that get results without harming wood grain or fuzzing excessively. Composite and PVC decking materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians adapt techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

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

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is often the opening impression visitors notice about your property, and a dirty, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's entire curb appeal. Whether you have a wooden fence, vinyl, aluminum or ornamental iron, chain link, or pasture fence, LuxWash has the equipment and expertise to restore it to original condition.

Natural wood fences in our area are particularly prone to organic growth due to our moisture levels and frequent rain. Our fence cleaning service destroys these contaminants while maintaining the wood's integrity. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides ideal preparation, ensuring maximum adhesion and extended results.

Fence types we clean:

• Wood privacy fences (redwood)
• Plastic fencing
• Aluminum and metal fences
• Wire fencing
• Agricultural fencing

Gutter Cleaning and Gutter Whitening

Clogged gutters cause water to back up and collect around your foundation, causing water intrusion, settling, and washouts. Our gutter cleaning service removes organic matter, roofing debris, 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 clean the dark lines and discoloration that appear on the front of gutters. These stains are caused by chemical reaction and electrostatic bonding of grime and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our commercial gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, restoring your gutters to their original bright or colored finish.

The LuxWash Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a proven approach engineered to guarantee exceptional results while protecting your property. Here is what you can look forward to when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Northeast Ohio:

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

We begin with a detailed inspection of your property to determine cleaning needs, identify any areas requiring special attention, and determine the ideal cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is unique, we prefer to provide estimates on-site rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you accurate pricing with no surprises. We assess surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your questions and goals.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take precautions to protect your property. This includes protecting patio furniture, closing windows and doors, pre-soaking plants and landscaping to protect them from cleaning solutions, and identifying any areas that require special care. We also test cleaning solutions on discrete areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we use the proper technique. Soft washing involves delivering our biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure, letting it to sit and dissolve organic contaminants, then flushing with soft water. Pressure washing uses higher PSI for durable surfaces like concrete, with our professional surface cleaners providing even coverage. Throughout the process, we continuously evaluate results and modify techniques as needed.

Step 4: Complete Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a thorough rinse of all treated surfaces and nearby areas. We complete a spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to eliminate water spots. Lastly, we conduct a detailed inspection to confirm every area meets our professional standards.

Step 5: Satisfaction Check and Satisfaction Confirmation

If you are home during service, we welcome you to walk through the completed work with us. We want you to see the results and verify your complete satisfaction before we consider the job finished. If any area does not meet your expectations, we fix it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Better Over Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners assume that stronger force equals superior cleaning, but this is rarely the case. Power washing is effective for durable surfaces like concrete, block, and some types of stone. However, directing high pressure to delicate materials causes major damage:

• Vinyl: High pressure can damage siding panels, force water into siding into wall cavities, and invalidate manufacturer warranties.
• Natural wood: High pressure damages wood fibers, roughs up, and can damage softer species.
• Shingles: Pressure washing strips protective granules, dramatically cutting roof lifespan.
• Painted surfaces: High pressure peels paint, leading to costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can penetrate stucco and penetrate the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing eliminates 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 root. The result is a superior, longer-lasting clean that stays clean as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you power wash mold and algae, you may remove the surface contamination, but spores remain embedded in the surface and return quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms completely, eliminating rapid regrowth.

Understanding Wayne County's Local Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the heart of Northeast Ohio, an area characterized by humid summers, harsh winters, and abundant moisture throughout the year. This climate creates unique challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humidity levels, particularly during growing season, create optimal situations for biological contamination growth. Homes with limited sun exposure, heavy tree coverage, or location near bodies of water experience faster organic growth. The ugly staining you see on homes throughout Wayne County is not just unattractive; it is active growth continuously consuming and destroying your property's surfaces.

Winter Weather

Ohio winters subject exterior surfaces to constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into porous materials like concrete and wood, then expands as it freezes, causing cracks, surface failure, and problems over time. Periodic washing removes material and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide enhanced protection against water penetration.

Organic Matter and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means abundant trees, which contribute leaves, sap, pollen, and contaminants that collect on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and offers nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes near mature trees require regular cleaning to avoid buildup.

Agricultural Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding areas are situated in an farming region. Dust from agriculture, country roads, and plowing settles on exterior surfaces, combining with moisture to create persistent grime. This is especially noticeable on light-colored or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

We use soft washing for delicate surfaces like siding, trim, and roofing, reserving high-pressure washing for tough surfaces like concrete that can withstand it. We won't use pressure levels that could damage 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, orientation, environmental factors, and siding material. Homes near trees or with substantial north-facing wall area may need yearly cleaning, while homes in more open locations may go 24 months between cleanings. During your estimate, we can assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof soft washed?

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends professional soft washing approximately every 5 years for asphalt shingle roofs, though homes with lots of shade or persistent algae problems may require regular treatment. Regular roof cleaning extends shingle lifespan by removing biological contamination and can help maintain your coverage, as many manufacturers consider algae damage avoidable maintenance neglect.

What is the dark staining on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria that feeds on limestone filler in asphalt shingles. This organism produces a dark pigmented sheath to shield itself from UV radiation, creating the familiar black streaking pattern. Beyond being ugly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to fail faster by holding moisture and inhibiting proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment destroys this bacteria entirely, bringing back your roof's appearance and preventing further damage.

Will pressure washing damage my plants and landscaping?

We take precautions to preserve your landscaping during every project. Before cleaning, we thoroughly pre-soak landscaping near work areas.
