Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Littleover with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the natural look of the patio, making the outdoor space dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had felt discouraged. This report details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with entrenched black lichen stains, completely masking 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.

Solution

Upon being reached out to, we promptly conducted a site survey to assess the extent of the infestation and develop an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to examine 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 approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our industrial-strength 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 21-inch flat surface cleaner worked through the layers of grime and took off most of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This essential phase prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer approved the results, showing appreciation for the outcome.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to perform a maintenance wash, preserving the patio’s beautiful look.

Transformation

The change was amazing. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the look and functionality of their entertaining area.
