Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Leeds with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the area unsightly and uninviting. Despite their efforts with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we renewed their patio to its beautiful state.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with pervasive 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.

Solution

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

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

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We set up the cleaning at a suitable date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our industrial-strength washer and a specialized flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime 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 gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This essential phase keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we invited the customer to check the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer signed off on the work, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to reapply the soft wash solution, preserving the patio’s beautiful look.

Results

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was brought back to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the beauty and comfort of their entertaining area.
