Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Huddersfield with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the original color of the patio, making the patio dull and unappealing. Despite their attempts with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with entrenched black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and could not eliminate the stains.

Our Approach

Upon being called, we quickly conducted a property assessment 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 went to the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the challenges involved. We discussed our cleaning plan and presented a quote, which the customer agreed to.

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

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we began the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner quickly removed debris and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s natural look.

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 essential phase prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we asked the customer to check the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer gave us the go-ahead, showing appreciation for the outcome.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to reapply the soft wash solution, maintaining the patio’s beautiful look.

Outcome

The change was stunning. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was returned to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the beauty and comfort of their entertaining area.
