Siding Washing and Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a professional cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water application combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to thoroughly remove contaminants, and other organic contaminants from your home's exterior surfaces. Unlike standard pressure washing, which uses high PSI (pounds per square inch) to blast away grime, soft washing enables the cleaning solution to do the work, making it the recommended method for sensitive surfaces including vinyl, fiber cement siding, stucco, wood siding, and natural stone.

The weather conditions in Northeast Ohio creates optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew growth on home exteriors. These growths don't just hurt your home's appearance but can even cause harm to siding materials over time. Our house washing service destroys these growths at the source, destroying the spores and stopping rapid regrowth.

Surfaces we treat with soft washing:

  • Vinyl exterior and aluminum siding

  • Natural stone and natural stone

Roof Cleaning Services

If ignored, this contamination causes premature shingle deterioration, shortening your roof's lifespan and potentially leading to major expense years ahead of schedule.

LuxWash uses the gentle roof cleaning method endorsed by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). High-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 water damage and rot. Our soft wash process delivers commercial cleaning solutions that destroy all biological contamination without any danger to your roofing materials.

After a LuxWash roof soft wash treatment, you will see dramatic results. Dark stains vanish, revealing the true color of your shingles.

  • Natural cedar and shake roofing
  • Natural slate and tile roofs
  • Standing seam systems
  • Low-slope roofing (TPO, EPDM, torch down)

Concrete Pressure Washing

Over time, concrete gathers contamination, spills, green growth, and ground-in grime that regular water rinsing cannot touch. 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.

We offer both below-surface sealers that soak into the concrete for natural-look protection and film-forming sealers that create a wet-look or natural finish for improved appearance. Our technicians will recommend the best sealer type based on your concrete, usage, and aesthetic preferences.

Our Proven Cleaning Process

Every LuxWash project follows a proven approach designed to guarantee exceptional results while safeguarding your property. Here is what you can look forward to when you hire us for exterior cleaning in Apple Creek:

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

We kick off with a thorough inspection of your property to assess cleaning needs, identify any areas requiring special attention, and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods for each surface. Because every home is different, we prefer to provide estimates on-site rather than over the phone. This lets us to give you exact pricing with no surprises. We calculate surfaces, note any existing conditions, and discuss your expectations and expectations.

Step 2: Pre-Cleaning Preparation

Before cleaning starts, we take measures to safeguard 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 hidden areas when working with new surface types.

Step 3: Professional Cleaning

Depending on the surfaces being cleaned, we implement the appropriate technique. Soft washing involves delivering our eco-friendly cleaning solution at reduced PSI, allowing it to sit and dissolve organic contaminants, then rinsing with low-pressure water. Pressure washing uses increased force for hard surfaces like concrete, with our commercial surface cleaners ensuring even coverage. Throughout the process, we constantly 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 adjacent areas. We complete a crystal-clear rinse on windows and glass surfaces to eliminate water spots. Lastly, we conduct a detailed inspection to ensure every area meets our quality standards.

Step 5: Walk-Through 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 done. If any area falls short of your expectations, we fix it immediately.

Why Soft Washing is Superior to Pressure Washing for Most Surfaces

Many homeowners think that more PSI equals superior cleaning, but this is rarely the case. Pressure washing is great for durable surfaces like hardscaping, brick, and specific stone. However, using high pressure to sensitive materials causes serious damage:

  • Vinyl: High pressure can break siding panels, push water underneath siding into wall cavities, and cancel manufacturer warranties.
  • Wood surfaces: Excessive pressure destroys wood fibers, raises grain, and can scar softer species.
  • Asphalt shingles: Pressure washing strips protective granules, severely shortening roof lifespan.
  • Paint: High pressure strips paint, necessitating costly repainting.
  • EIFS: Pressure can damage stucco and penetrate the moisture barrier in EIFS systems.

Soft washing addresses these problems by allowing cleaning chemistry do the work instead of using brute force. Our soft wash solutions are specifically formulated to destroy biological contamination at the cellular level. The result is a deeper, more durable clean that does not return as quickly as pressure-washed surfaces often do. When you blast mold and algae, you may remove the obvious problem, but organisms remain embedded in the surface and come back quickly. Soft washing eliminates the organisms completely, stopping rapid regrowth.

Understanding Apple Creek's Unique Cleaning Challenges

Apple Creek sits in Wayne County in the center of NE Ohio, an area defined by hot humid weather, cold winters, and frequent precipitation throughout the year. This climate creates specific challenges for exterior surfaces:

Moisture and Organic Growth

Northeast Ohio's humidity levels, particularly during spring and summer, produce optimal situations for algae, mold, and mildew spread. Homes with shaded areas, dense canopy, or location near ponds experience accelerated organic growth. The dark staining you see on siding, roofs, and concrete throughout Apple Creek is not just unsightly; it is living organisms constantly feeding on and damaging your property's surfaces.

Winter Weather

Ohio winters subject exterior surfaces to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Water soaks into porous materials like concrete and wood, then expands as it freezes, causing damage, surface failure, and structural damage over time. Regular cleaning removes material and organic matter that hold moisture against surfaces, while protective coatings provide additional protection against water intrusion.

Tree Debris and Pollen

Wayne County's natural setting means abundant trees, which drop leaves, sap, pollen, and material that accumulate on roofs, gutters, and other surfaces. This debris retains moisture and provides nutrients for mold and algae growth. Homes adjacent to mature trees require regular cleaning to stop buildup.

Rural Dust and Particulates

Apple Creek and surrounding Wayne County communities are situated in an agricultural region. Dust from field work, gravel roads, and plowing settles on exterior surfaces, combining with moisture to create difficult grime. This is notably noticeable on pale or light-colored siding, fencing, and outdoor structures.

Common Questions About Pressure Washing in Our Area

How much does pressure washing cost in Northeast Ohio?

Is pressure washing okay for my home?

We don't use pressure levels that could hurt your property.

How often should I have my house cleaned?

What is the dark staining on my roof?

Beyond being unattractive, Gloeocapsa magma causes shingles to deteriorate faster by holding moisture and blocking proper granule adhesion. Our roof soft wash treatment eliminates this bacteria entirely, bringing back your roof's appearance and halting further damage.
