Our Core Values

Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

We delivers a complete range of exterior cleaning services tailored to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your Apple Creek property. Our technicians have expertise in both pressure washing techniques for hard surfaces and gentle cleaning methods for vulnerable materials that could be harmed by high water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning 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 organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike standard pressure washing, which relies on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to remove grime, soft washing lets the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the preferred method for sensitive surfaces including home siding, James Hardie siding, EIFS, painted surfaces, and stone veneer.

The humid climate in Northeast Ohio creates optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants not only diminish your home's appearance but can actually cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service eliminates these growths completely, killing the spores and stopping recontamination. Most homes in Apple Creek need professional soft washing every 1-2 years, depending on factors like tree cover, proximity to trees, and the direction your home faces.

Surfaces we clean with soft washing:

Roof Cleaning Services

The black stains you see on roofs throughout Apple Creek are not grime or sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a type of cyanobacteria (bacteria) that consumes the limestone filler in your shingles. Without treatment, this algae growth causes early roof failure, cutting your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to expensive repairs years too soon.

LuxWash uses the soft wash roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Pressure 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 structural problems and structural damage. Our soft wash process delivers specialized cleaning solutions that destroy all biological contamination without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see stunning results. Dark stains are eliminated, uncovering the true color of your shingles. Even better, the treatment eliminates organic growth completely, providing lasting protection. Most roofs in Apple Creek benefit from professional soft washing roughly every half decade, though homes with lots of shade may require regular treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

Hardscape Cleaning

Concrete surfaces, walkways, patios, and other concrete surfaces are tough enough to withstand pressure washing, making them ideal candidates for our pressure washing services. Over time, concrete collects contamination, spills, algae, and stubborn buildup that regular garden hose rinsing cannot touch. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the perfect PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to lift embedded contaminants from the surface without harming the surface.

For Apple Creek driveways and concrete surfaces, we use professional surface cleaners that provide uniform cleaning coverage without the striping patterns that wand pressure washing nozzles can leave behind. This specialized equipment allows us to wash large areas effectively while delivering uniformly perfect results across the entire surface.

Flatwork cleaning services include:

Protective Sealing Services

After cleaning your concrete surfaces, we recommend our concrete sealing service to safeguard your hardscaping and extend the life of your hardscaping. Concrete sealers establish a protective barrier that blocks liquids, and other contaminants, making maintenance simpler and stopping damage from freeze-thaw cycles that are typical during cold months. Sealed concrete also blocks staining, meaning accidents and tire marks don't penetrate instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both below-surface sealers that penetrate the concrete for natural-look protection and surface sealers that create a shiny or natural finish for upgraded appearance. Our technicians will suggest the best sealer type based on your surface, usage, and style.

Deck Restoration Services

Decks and synthetic decking require routine cleaning to protect their appearance and strength. In Northeast Ohio's climate, decks are hit by the elements, and hot and cold that encourage organic growth. Left alone, these organic contaminants deteriorate wood fibers, causing fading, decay, and structural problems.

Our deck cleaning service removes surface contaminants and prepares your deck for sealing or treating. For wood decks made from PT wood, natural cedar, or California redwood, we use appropriate pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without harming wood grain or splintering excessively. Composite and Azek materials require softer treatment, and our technicians adjust techniques accordingly to preserve manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

Fence Restoration Services

Your fence is often the initial element visitors notice about your property, and a stained, algae-covered fence diminishes your home's complete curb appeal. Whether you have a privacy fence, vinyl, wrought iron or decorative metal, chainlink, or agricultural fencing, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to like-new condition.

Wood fences in Wayne County are particularly susceptible to organic growth due to our moisture levels and wet conditions. Our fence cleaning service eliminates these contaminants while maintaining the wood's condition. For homeowners planning to seal their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, guaranteeing optimal adhesion and long-lasting results.

Fences we clean:

Gutter Maintenance and Gutter Brightening

Clogged gutters cause water to spill and pool around your foundation, resulting in basement flooding, structural issues, and washouts. Our gutter cleaning service clears 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 staining that appear on the front of gutters. These stains are caused by chemical reaction and bonding of pollutants and pollutants to the gutter surface. Our professional gutter brightening solutions break these bonds, returning your gutters to their like-new white or colored finish.

Our Professional Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a proven approach engineered to guarantee exceptional results while preserving your property. Here is what you can anticipate when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Wayne County:

Step 1: Free On-Site Consultation and Estimate

We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to determine cleaning needs, note any areas requiring special attention, and determine the ideal cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is unique, we prefer to provide estimates in person rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you accurate pricing with no surprises. We assess surfaces, note any pre-existing damage, and discuss your questions and expectations.

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

Before cleaning commences, we take precautions to preserve your property. This includes moving lawn items, securing windows and doors, wetting down plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and marking any areas that require special care. We also test cleaning solutions on inconspicuous areas when working with different surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we use the appropriate technique. Soft washing involves spraying our biodegradable cleaning solution at gentle pressure, letting it to dwell and dissolve organic contaminants, then washing with low-pressure water. Pressure washing uses more pressure for hard surfaces like concrete, with our professional surface cleaners providing even coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly evaluate results and fine-tune techniques as needed.

Step 4: Final Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a comprehensive rinse of all treated surfaces and adjacent areas. We complete a spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to avoid water spots. Finally, we conduct a careful inspection to verify every area meets our professional standards.

Step 5: Walk-Through 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 total satisfaction before we consider the job complete. If any area falls short of your expectations, we address it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Better Over Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners believe that higher pressure equals more effective cleaning, but this is not always the case. High-pressure washing is great for durable surfaces like hardscaping, block, and specific stone. However, using high pressure to delicate materials causes significant damage:

Soft washing solves these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using high pressure. Our soft wash solutions are professionally formulated to destroy mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the cellular level. The result is a deeper, longer-lasting clean that stays clean as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may remove the surface contamination, but roots remain deep in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms totally, stopping rapid regrowth.

Tackling Apple Creek's Unique Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the center of Northeastern Ohio, an area defined by hot humid weather, freezing temperatures, and significant rainfall throughout the year. This climate creates particular challenges for exterior surfaces:

Moisture and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humidity levels, particularly during growing season, produce optimal situations for organic growth growth. Homes with shaded areas, heavy tree coverage, or nearness to ponds experience accelerated organic growth. The ugly staining you see on homes throughout Apple Creek is not just ugly; it is active growth actively degrading and destroying your property's surfaces.

Cold Weather Damage

Cold months subject exterior surfaces to constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters concrete and wood like concrete and wood, then swells as it freezes, causing deterioration, spalling, and issues over time. Periodic washing removes debris and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while protective coatings provide additional protection against water intrusion.

Organic Matter and Pollen

Wayne County's wooded areas means numerous trees, which deposit organic debris, and contaminants that accumulate on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris traps moisture and offers nutrients for organic and algae growth. Homes surrounded by oak, maple, and pine trees require more frequent cleaning to avoid buildup.

Rural Dust and Particulates

Our area and surrounding towns are situated in an farming region. Dust from agriculture, gravel roads, and plowing deposits on exterior surfaces, mixing with moisture to create persistent grime. This is notably noticeable on white or bright siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

How much does pressure washing cost in Wayne County?

Pricing for exterior cleaning and soft washing services depends on the size of the area being cleaned, the kind of surface, the level of contamination, and difficulty.

Our minimum service charge is $250. Because every property is unique, we provide free on-site estimates to give you exact pricing. Contact us at (330) 621-5733 to schedule your estimate.

Is pressure washing safe for my home?

When performed properly by skilled technicians using appropriate techniques, exterior cleaning is 100% safe for your home. The secret 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 home exteriors, trim, and shingles, saving power washing for durable surfaces like concrete that can withstand it. We won't use pressure levels that could hurt your property.

How often should I have my house soft washed?

Most homes in Wayne County benefit from professional soft washing every one to two years. However, schedule depends on various conditions including tree coverage, orientation, humidity exposure, and siding material. Homes with lots of trees or with substantial north-facing wall area may need annual cleaning, while homes in sunny locations may go longer between cleanings. During your estimate, we can review your specific situation and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.

How often should I have my roof washed?

The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association advises professional soft washing about every five years for residential roofing, though homes with significant canopy or ongoing algae problems may require regular treatment. Periodic roof cleaning extends shingle lifespan by eliminating biological contamination and can help preserve your coverage, as many manufacturers consider algae damage preventable 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 calcium carbite filler in asphalt shingles. This organism develops a black sheath to survive from UV radiation, creating the typical black streaking pattern. Beyond being unattractive, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to deteriorate faster by retaining moisture and blocking proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment kills this bacteria 100%, bringing back your roof's appearance and preventing further damage.

Will pressure washing damage my plants and landscaping?

We take measures to safeguard your landscaping during every project. Before cleaning, we thoroughly pre-soak plants, shrubs, and grass around work areas.

Organic growth on exterior surfaces can impact indoor air quality, particularly when these organisms grow near entry points, and HVAC intakes. Professional cleaning eliminates these organic contaminants, contributing to a healthier environment for your family. This is particularly important for households with allergies or lung conditions.

Preparation for Painting and Staining

If you are planning to refinish your home's exterior or stain your deck, professional cleaning is critical preparation. Paint and stain stick best to pristine, contaminant-free surfaces.
