Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Harrogate with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the intended appearance of the patio, making the patio dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had started losing hope. This report details how we renewed their patio to its original beauty.

Client Issues

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

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we immediately conducted a detailed evaluation to assess the extent of the infestation and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the difficulties faced. We discussed our cleaning plan and presented a quote, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our high-powered cleaning equipment and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we started the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime and took off most of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to break the cycle of organic growth. 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 encouraged the customer to check the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer approved the results, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, maintaining the patio’s spotless appearance.

Transformation

The change was remarkable. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the look and functionality of their outdoor space.
