Full-Service Exterior Cleaning Services in Wayne County

LuxWash offers a complete range of exterior cleaning services engineered to address every surface and cleaning challenge on your Wayne County property. Our technicians specialize in both high-pressure washing techniques for resilient surfaces and soft washing methods for delicate materials that could be ruined by excessive water pressure.

House Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a advanced cleaning technique that uses gentle water pressure combined with environmentally safe cleaning solutions to effectively remove organic growth, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike standard pressure washing, which relies on high PSI (pounds per square inch) to blast away grime, soft washing allows the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the preferred method for sensitive surfaces including home siding, Hardie board, EIFS, wood siding, and stone veneer.

The weather conditions in Northeast Ohio produces optimal situations for organic growth on home exteriors. These growths not only hurt your home's appearance but can also cause deterioration to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths completely, destroying the spores and preventing rapid regrowth. Most homes in our service area should have professional soft washing every one to two years, depending on factors like shade coverage, foliage, and the orientation your home faces.

Surfaces we wash with soft washing:

• Vinyl siding and metal siding
• Hardie board and fiber cement siding
• Painted exteriors and trim
• Brick exteriors and block surfaces
• EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System)
• Stone veneer and limestone
• Cedar shake and shake siding

Professional Roof Cleaning Services

The dark streaks you see on roofs throughout Northeast Ohio are not debris or tree sap. They are colonies of Gloeocapsa magma, a form of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that feeds on the limestone filler in roofing shingles. Left untreated, this algae growth causes premature shingle deterioration, reducing your roof's lifespan and possibly leading to major expense years too soon.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Pressure washing should absolutely not be used on residential roofing because it can dislodge protective granules, invalidate manufacturer warranties, and force water underneath shingles where it causes water damage and structural damage. Our low-pressure application delivers specialized cleaning solutions that kill organic growth without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Ugly discoloration are eliminated, exposing the actual shade of your shingles. More importantly, the treatment destroys organic growth completely, providing extended protection. Most asphalt shingle roofs in our area need professional soft washing approximately every five years, though homes with heavy tree coverage may require more frequent treatment.

Roof types we service:

• Composition shingles (standard and architectural shingles)
• Wood shake and wood roofing
• Slate and tile roofs
• Metal roofing systems
• Low-slope roofing (TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen)

Hardscape Pressure Washing

Concrete surfaces, sidewalks, outdoor living spaces, and other hardscape surfaces are durable enough to withstand high-pressure washing, making them well-suited for our power washing services. Over time, concrete accumulates grime and stains, spills, organic matter, and embedded dirt that regular garden hose rinsing cannot eliminate. Our commercial-grade pressure washing equipment delivers water at the perfect PSI and GPM (gallons per minute) to lift embedded contaminants from deep within without hurting the surface.

For Wayne County driveways and concrete surfaces, we use industrial surface cleaners that provide consistent cleaning coverage without the zebra stripes that wand pressure washing equipment can leave behind. This professional equipment lets us to wash large areas quickly while delivering reliably perfect results across the entire surface.

Hardscape cleaning services include:

• Driveway pressure washing and degreasing

• Interlocking paver and hardscape cleaning
• Stamped concrete cleaning

Concrete Sealing Services

Sealed concrete also blocks staining, meaning accidents and tire marks clean up fast instead of penetrating the porous concrete surface.

We offer both impregnating sealers that soak into the concrete for invisible protection and surface sealers that create a shiny or matte finish for enhanced appearance. Our technicians will advise on the best sealer type based on your application, traffic, and desired look.

Deck Cleaning Services

Composite and vinyl decking materials require gentler treatment, and our technicians modify techniques accordingly to honor manufacturer warranties.

Deck services include:

• Natural wood cleaning and restoration
• Composite deck cleaning
• Sealer and sealer preparation

Step 2: Before We Start Preparation

We also test cleaning solutions on inconspicuous areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we apply the correct technique. Soft washing involves spraying our biodegradable cleaning solution at low pressure, giving it to sit and break down organic contaminants, then rinsing with gentle water. Pressure washing uses more pressure for durable surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners ensuring even coverage. Throughout the process, we regularly check 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 nearby areas. We complete a spot-free rinse on windows and glass surfaces to eliminate water spots. Then, we conduct a detailed inspection to ensure every area meets our professional 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 confirm your complete satisfaction before we consider the job complete. If any area misses your expectations, we handle it on the spot.

Why Soft Washing is Preferred vs Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners believe that more PSI equals superior cleaning, but this is rarely the case. High-pressure washing is effective for resilient surfaces like hardscaping, masonry, and certain stone. However, using high pressure to softer materials causes serious damage:

• Vinyl: High pressure can damage siding panels, force water behind siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
• Wood surfaces: Too much pressure destroys wood fibers, roughs up, and can gouge softer species.
• Roofing: Pressure washing strips protective granules, dramatically cutting roof lifespan.
• Painted surfaces: High pressure strips paint, requiring costly repainting.
• Stucco: Pressure can penetrate stucco and compromise the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing solves these problems by letting cleaning chemistry do the work instead of relying on high pressure. Our soft wash solutions are specifically formulated to eliminate mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria at the source. The result is a deeper, more durable clean that does not return 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 come back quickly. Soft washing destroys the organisms entirely, preventing rapid regrowth.

Understanding Apple Creek's Local Cleaning Challenges

Our community sits in Wayne County in the middle of Northeast Ohio, an area known by hot humid weather, cold winters, and significant rainfall throughout the year. This climate creates unique challenges for exterior surfaces:

Moisture and Organic Growth

Tree Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's natural setting means abundant trees, which contribute leaves, sap, pollen, and contaminants that build up on exteriors, and other surfaces.

Farm Dust and Particulates
