Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Greenock with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the intended appearance of the patio, making the patio unsightly and uninviting. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This report details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with stubborn black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts using a domestic jet wash, which proved ineffective and did not remove the lichen.

Solution

Upon being reached out to, we promptly conducted a detailed evaluation to determine the severity of the lichen problem and develop an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the difficulties faced. We discussed our cleaning plan and offered a price estimate, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a suitable date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our commercial-grade pressure washer and a specialized flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner quickly removed debris and removed approximately 95% 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 gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This crucial step prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we invited the customer to check the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer gave us the go-ahead, showing appreciation for the outcome.

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, maintaining the patio’s beautiful look.

Transformation

The transformation was remarkable. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was restored to its natural state. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the look and functionality of their entertaining area.
