Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Horsham with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the intended appearance of the patio, making the outdoor space dull and unappealing. Despite their attempts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its beautiful state.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with pervasive black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which proved ineffective and did not remove the lichen.

Our Approach

Upon being reached out to, we immediately conducted a detailed evaluation to understand the scale of the cleaning required and develop an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and provided a quotation, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our high-powered cleaning equipment and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we started the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime 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 preliminary cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This important stage stops future infestations, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we encouraged the customer to review the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer approved the results, showing appreciation for the outcome.

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

Transformation

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was returned to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the beauty and comfort of their patio area.
