Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Northeast Ohio

LuxWash delivers a comprehensive range of exterior cleaning services engineered to handle every surface and cleaning challenge on your local property. Our team specialize in both high-pressure washing techniques for durable surfaces and soft washing methods for sensitive materials that could be damaged by excessive water pressure.

Home Exterior Cleaning and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses reduced PSI combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, 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 ideal method for vulnerable surfaces including vinyl, Hardie board, EIFS, painted wood, and stone veneer.

The weather conditions in our area produces ideal conditions for biological growth on home exteriors. These organic contaminants not only detract from your home's appearance but can actually cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths completely, eliminating the spores and preventing quick return. Most homes in Apple Creek need professional soft washing every 1-2 years, depending on factors like shade coverage, proximity to trees, and the way your home faces.

Surfaces we clean with soft washing:

Vinyl siding and aluminum
James Hardie and fiber cement siding
Wood siding and trim
Masonry and stone surfaces
Stucco (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
Stone veneer and natural stone
Cedar shake and shake siding

Roof Cleaning Services

The dark streaks you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not grime or tree sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a type of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. If ignored, this infestation causes early roof failure, cutting your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to costly replacement years too soon.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-pressure washing should absolutely not be used on shingle roofs because it can strip protective granules, cancel manufacturer warranties, and force water underneath shingles where it causes water damage and rot. Our soft wash process delivers professional-grade cleaning solutions that destroy all biological contamination without any harm to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Ugly discoloration vanish, uncovering the original color of your shingles. Even better, the treatment eliminates organic growth permanently, providing long-term protection. Most roofs in Apple Creek should receive professional soft washing about every half decade, though homes with heavy tree coverage may require regular treatment.

Roofing materials we service:

Composition shingles (3-tab and designer shingles)
Natural cedar and shake roofing
Slate and clay tile
Standing seam systems
Low-slope roofing (TPO, EPDM, mod bit)

Hardscape Washing

Driveways, sidewalks, entertaining areas, and other hardscape surfaces are durable enough to withstand pressure washing, making them ideal candidates for our high-pressure cleaning services. Over time, concrete collects contamination, spills, green growth, and ground-in grime that regular garden hose rinsing cannot eliminate. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the ideal PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to lift embedded contaminants from the surface without hurting the surface.

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

Concrete cleaning services include:

Driveway restoration and stain removal
Sidewalk and pathway restoration
Outdoor and deck cleaning
Garage floor cleaning
Landscape wall cleaning
Paver and paver stone cleaning
Stamped concrete cleaning

Protective Sealing Services

After restoring your concrete surfaces, ask about our concrete sealing service to extend surface life and prolong the life of your concrete. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that blocks moisture, and other contaminants, making upkeep less frequent and preventing damage from winter weather that are typical during cold months. Sealed concrete also resists staining, meaning drips and tire marks wipe away easily instead of absorbing into the porous concrete surface.

We offer both penetrating sealers that absorb into the concrete for undetectable protection and surface sealers that create a wet-look or natural finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your application, usage, and aesthetic preferences.

Deck Cleaning Services

Outdoor decks and synthetic decking require regular cleaning to maintain their look and strength. In Northeast Ohio's climate, decks are exposed to the elements, and seasonal changes that foster organic growth. Left alone, these organisms deteriorate wood fibers, causing discoloration, soft spots, and structural problems.

Our deck cleaning service eliminates surface contaminants and preps your deck for staining or sealing. For wood decks made from pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or redwood, we use proper pressure levels and cleaning solutions that work great without hurting wood grain or fuzzing excessively. Composite and PVC decking materials require softer treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

Natural wood cleaning and brightening
Azek cleaning
Sealer and sealer prep
Mildew and mildew treatment
Green growth and biological contamination elimination

Fence Cleaning Services

Your fence is frequently the first thing visitors observe about your property, and a stained, algae-covered fence hurts your home's overall curb appeal. Whether you have a wooden fence, vinyl, aluminum or ornamental iron, chainlink, or farm fence, LuxWash has the equipment and experience to restore it to like-new condition.

Wood fences in our area are notably prone to organic growth due to our weather patterns and precipitation. Our fence cleaning service destroys these contaminants while protecting the wood's structure. For homeowners planning to stain their wood fence, our cleaning service provides optimal preparation, promoting best adhesion and durable results.

Fence types we clean:

Privacy fencing (pressure-treated)
Plastic fencing
Ornamental and wrought iron fences
Chainlink fencing
Post and rail fencing

Gutter Cleaning and Exterior Gutter Cleaning

Clogged gutters cause water to back up and pool around your foundation, leading to basement flooding, foundation damage, and landscape erosion. Our gutter cleaning service removes organic matter, shingle granules, and debris from your gutters and downspouts, providing proper water flow away from your home.

Beyond interior gutter cleaning, we offer exterior gutter cleaning services that eliminate the black streaks and staining that appear on the exterior face 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, restoring your gutters to their factory white or colored finish.

Our Proven Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a methodical approach developed to deliver outstanding results while safeguarding your property. Here is what you can expect when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Northeast Ohio:

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

We start with a thorough inspection of your property to determine cleaning needs, identify 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 accurate pricing with no surprises. We assess surfaces, note any existing conditions, and discuss your questions and desired outcomes.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning starts, we take measures to preserve your property. This includes covering patio furniture, closing windows and doors, hosing plants and landscaping to shield them from cleaning solutions, and marking any areas that require gentle treatment. We also check cleaning solutions on inconspicuous areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the proper technique. Soft washing involves spraying our biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure, giving it to work and break down organic contaminants, then flushing with low-pressure water. Pressure washing uses increased force for resilient surfaces like concrete, with our professional surface cleaners providing uniform coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly check results and modify techniques as needed.

Step 4: Complete Rinse and Inspection

After cleaning, we perform a comprehensive 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 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 verify your 100% satisfaction before we consider the job finished. If any area misses your expectations, we handle it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Better vs Pressure Washing for Many Surfaces

Many homeowners assume that more PSI equals superior cleaning, but this is rarely the case. Pressure washing is great for resilient surfaces like cement, masonry, and certain stone. However, applying high pressure to softer materials causes serious damage:

Vinyl siding: High pressure can crack siding panels, force water underneath siding into wall cavities, and invalidate manufacturer warranties.
Wood: Too much pressure destroys wood fibers, raises grain, and can damage pine species.
Asphalt shingles: Pressure washing dislodges protective granules, dramatically reducing roof lifespan.
Painted surfaces: High pressure peels paint, necessitating costly repainting.
Exterior stucco: Pressure can crack stucco and compromise the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing solves these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using high pressure. Our soft wash solutions are specially formulated to destroy biological contamination at the root. The result is a superior, extended clean that lasts as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you power wash mold and algae, you may remove the visible growth, but spores remain hidden in the surface and regrow quickly. Soft washing kills the organisms completely, eliminating rapid regrowth.

Tackling Apple Creek's Unique Cleaning Challenges

This area sits in Wayne County in the center of Northeast Ohio, an area known by hot humid weather, freezing temperatures, and frequent precipitation throughout the year. This climate creates particular challenges for exterior surfaces:

Humidity and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's moisture content, particularly during growing season, produce perfect environments for biological contamination proliferation. Homes with shaded areas, lots of shade, or proximity to wetlands experience increased organic growth. The green and black staining you see on exterior surfaces throughout the area is not just ugly; it is living organisms actively consuming and damaging your property's surfaces.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Ohio winters subject exterior surfaces to constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into porous materials like concrete and wood, then grows as it freezes, causing cracks, flaking, and structural damage over time. Routine maintenance removes buildup and organic matter that retain moisture against surfaces, while protective coatings provide enhanced protection against water infiltration.

Organic Matter and Pollen

Wayne County's rural character means abundant trees, which drop organic debris, and contaminants that build up on exteriors, and other surfaces. This debris holds moisture and offers nutrients for mold and algae growth. Homes surrounded by oak, maple, and pine trees require additional cleaning to avoid buildup.

Farm Dust and Particulates

Wayne County and surrounding towns are situated in an rural region. Dust from field work, unpaved roads, and field work settles on exterior surfaces, reacting with moisture to create difficult grime. This is especially noticeable on light-colored or white siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.
