Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Nechells with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the natural look of the patio, making the area dull and unappealing. Despite their efforts with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had almost given up hope. This project summary details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Customer Challenges

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with pervasive black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and did not remove the lichen.

Our Approach

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

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the difficulties faced. We discussed our cleaning plan and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

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

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we began the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner quickly removed debris and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This important stage keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we invited the customer to review the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer gave us the go-ahead, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to perform a maintenance wash, keeping the patio’s beautiful look.

Transformation

The transformation was remarkable. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was brought back to its natural state. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the look and functionality of their outdoor space.
