What We Stand For

Comprehensive Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

We delivers a comprehensive range of exterior cleaning services engineered to tackle every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our technicians are trained in both high-pressure washing techniques for hard surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for sensitive materials that could be harmed by high water pressure.

Siding Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses gentle water pressure combined with environmentally safe cleaning solutions to safely remove contaminants, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to remove grime, soft washing enables the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the ideal method for sensitive surfaces including home siding, James Hardie siding, EIFS, painted surfaces, and stone veneer.

The humid climate in our area creates perfect environments for biological growth on home exteriors. These growths don't just hurt your home's appearance but can actually cause damage to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths completely, killing the spores and stopping quick return. Most homes in Apple Creek benefit from professional soft washing every 12-24 months, depending on factors like tree cover, foliage, and the way your home faces.

Surfaces we clean with soft washing:

Roof Cleaning Services

The dark streaks you see on roofs throughout Wayne County are not dirt or tree sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a species of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. Without treatment, this infestation causes early roof failure, shortening your roof's lifespan and likely leading to costly replacement years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method approved by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Power washing should never be used on shingle roofs because it can dislodge protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and drive water underneath shingles where it causes water damage and rot. Our gentle technique delivers professional-grade cleaning solutions that destroy algae, moss, lichen, and mold without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see remarkable results. Black streaks vanish, revealing the true color of your shingles. Better yet, the treatment destroys organic growth permanently, providing lasting protection. Most shingle roofs in Apple Creek need professional soft washing roughly every five years, though homes with lots of shade may require additional treatment.

Roof types we service:

Concrete Pressure Washing

Driveways, walkways, patios, and other flatwork surfaces are tough enough to withstand power washing, making them well-suited for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete gathers grime and stains, automotive fluids, organic matter, and embedded dirt that standard water rinsing cannot eliminate. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the optimal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to remove embedded contaminants from concrete pores without hurting the surface.

For Wayne County driveways and concrete surfaces, we use commercial surface cleaners that provide uniform cleaning coverage without the uneven lines that wand pressure washing wands can leave behind. This specialized equipment allows us to restore large areas efficiently while delivering consistently perfect results across the entire surface.

Concrete cleaning services include:

Driveway Sealing Services

After restoring your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to protect your investment and maximize the life of your flatwork. Concrete sealers establish a protective barrier that blocks moisture, and other contaminants, making future cleaning easier and preventing damage from ice expansion that are typical during Ohio winters. Sealed concrete also resists staining, meaning spills and tire marks clean up fast instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that penetrate the concrete for undetectable protection and surface sealers that create a shiny or natural finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will recommend the best sealer type based on your concrete, usage, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Restoration and Restoration

Decks and composite decking require periodic cleaning to protect their look and strength. In Northeast Ohio's climate, decks are subjected to rain, snow, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that promote biological growth. Untreated, these organisms break down wood fibers, causing staining, soft spots, and structural problems.

Our deck cleaning service removes surface contaminants and prepares your deck for sealing or treating. For wood decks made from treated pine, western red cedar, or California redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without damaging wood grain or fuzzing excessively. PVC and vinyl decking materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

Fence Washing Services

Your fence is usually the opening impression visitors notice about your property, and a dirty, algae-covered fence detracts from your home's overall curb appeal. Whether you have a wooden fence, PVC fence, metal or decorative metal, wire, or farm fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to original condition.

Wooden fencing in Apple Creek are particularly vulnerable to algae, mold, and mildew due to our humid climate and wet conditions. Our fence cleaning service destroys these contaminants while preserving the wood's condition. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides perfect preparation, ensuring maximum adhesion and extended results.

Fencing we clean:

Gutter Maintenance and Exterior Gutter Cleaning

Full gutters cause water to spill and pool around your foundation, leading to basement flooding, structural issues, and washouts. Our gutter cleaning service removes debris, roofing debris, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, providing proper water flow away from your home.

In addition to interior gutter cleaning, we offer exterior gutter cleaning services that eliminate the black streaks and staining that develop on the exterior face of gutters. These stains are caused by oxidation and adhesion of pollutants and here pollutants to the gutter surface. Our professional 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 systematic approach developed to deliver outstanding 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 Consultation and Estimate

We start with a thorough inspection of your property to evaluate cleaning needs, spot any areas requiring extra care, and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is different, we prefer to provide estimates face-to-face rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you precise pricing with no surprises. We measure surfaces, note any current issues, and discuss your expectations and desired outcomes.

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning starts, we take precautions to protect your property. This includes moving outdoor furniture, closing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to protect them from cleaning solutions, and identifying any areas that require special care. We also check cleaning solutions on discrete areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the appropriate technique. Soft washing involves spraying our eco-friendly cleaning solution at gentle pressure, letting it to sit and destroy organic contaminants, then flushing with gentle water. Pressure washing uses higher PSI for durable surfaces like concrete, with our industrial surface cleaners providing consistent coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly evaluate results and adjust techniques as needed.

Step 4: Complete Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a thorough rinse of all treated surfaces and surrounding areas. We complete a streak-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to eliminate water spots. Finally, we conduct a careful inspection to ensure 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 100% satisfaction before we consider the job finished. If any area does not meet your expectations, we fix it immediately.

Why Soft Washing is Better Over Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners think that more PSI equals better cleaning, but this is not always the case. Power washing is effective for hard surfaces like hardscaping, brick, and certain stone. However, applying high pressure to softer materials causes serious damage:

Soft washing eliminates these problems by having cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using brute force. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to kill organic growth at the source. The result is a superior, extended clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you pressure wash mold and algae, you may remove the visible growth, but spores remain embedded in the surface and return quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms totally, preventing rapid regrowth.

Understanding Northeast Ohio's Specific Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the center of Northeastern Ohio, an area defined by moisture-laden air, harsh winters, and abundant moisture throughout the year. This climate creates particular challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's moisture content, particularly during growing season, create perfect environments for organic growth proliferation. Homes with limited sun exposure, lots of shade, or proximity to bodies of water experience faster organic growth. The ugly staining you see on homes throughout Wayne County is not just unsightly; it is living organisms continuously consuming and destroying your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Cold months subject exterior surfaces to constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into porous materials like concrete and wood, then swells as it freezes, causing deterioration, spalling, and structural damage over time. Routine maintenance removes buildup and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while sealing services provide additional protection against water penetration.

Organic Matter and Pollen

Wayne County's rural character means abundant trees, which drop natural matter, and material that accumulate on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris holds moisture and provides nutrients for biological and algae growth. Homes near mature trees require regular cleaning to prevent buildup.

Rural Dust and Particulates

Our area and surrounding towns are situated in an farming region. Dust from agriculture, unpaved roads, and harvesting lands on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create difficult grime. This is especially noticeable on pale or white siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

Common Questions About Pressure Washing in Wayne County

How much does pressure washing cost in Wayne County?

Pricing for exterior cleaning and soft washing services depends on the area of the surface being cleaned, the nature of surface, the amount of contamination, and accessibility.

Because every property is unique, we provide complimentary on-site estimates to give you accurate pricing. Call us at 330-621-5733 to schedule your estimate.

Is pressure washing okay for my home?

When performed right by experts using proper techniques, exterior cleaning is 100% safe for your home. The answer is pairing the cleaning method to the surface. LuxWash technicians are trained to recognize surface materials and select the proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions. We use soft washing for vulnerable surfaces like vinyl siding, trim, and roofing, using high-pressure washing for hard surfaces like concrete that can withstand it. We never use pressure levels that could harm your property.

How often should I have my house soft washed?

Most homes in Northeast Ohio benefit from professional soft washing every one to two years. However, frequency depends on several factors including canopy, sun exposure, moisture, and siding material. Homes with lots of trees or with significant north-facing wall area may need annual cleaning, while homes in exposed locations may go longer between cleanings. During your estimate, we can evaluate your specific situation and recommend an optimal maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof washed?

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association suggests professional soft washing approximately every five years for residential roofing, though homes with lots of shade or recurring algae problems may require regular treatment. Regular roof cleaning prolongs shingle lifespan by removing algae and mold and can help protect your roof warranty, as many manufacturers consider algae damage avoidable owner responsibility.

What is the dark staining on my roof?

The black streaks on roofs are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a microorganism that feeds on mineral filler in asphalt shingles. This organism develops a black sheath to protect itself from UV radiation, creating the typical black streaks. Beyond being ugly, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to degrade faster by trapping moisture and blocking proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment kills this bacteria 100%, returning your roof's appearance and preventing further damage.

Will pressure washing hurt my plants and landscaping?

We take steps to preserve your landscaping during every project. Before cleaning, we thoroughly wet down landscaping adjacent to work areas. This wetting dilutes any cleaning solution that may contact vegetation. Our soft wash solutions are eco-friendly and decompose quickly, minimizing environmental impact. After cleaning, we rinse all nearby landscaping again. In our years of service, we have not damaged customer landscaping when these procedures are followed.

Do I need to be home during the pressure washing service?

No, you do not need to be home during your scheduled service. As long as we have entry the areas being cleaned and a working exterior water spigot, we can do the work while you are away.

Professional cleaning destroys these harmful contaminants, promoting a cleaner environment for your family. This is especially important for households with allergy sufferers or respiratory conditions.
