Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Dunstable with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the original color of the patio, making the area less appealing. Despite their attempts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with pervasive black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and did not resolve the issue.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we promptly conducted a property assessment to understand the scale of the cleaning required and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the difficulties faced. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We set up the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our industrial-strength washer and a large-surface cleaning tool to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and took off most of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This important stage prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we invited the customer to inspect the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not see any issues. The customer signed off on the work, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to reapply the soft wash solution, keeping the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the appearance and usability of their patio area.
