Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Weymouth with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the original color of the patio, making the patio less appealing. Despite their attempts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had almost given up hope. This report details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

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

Our Approach

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

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the challenges involved. We explained our approach in detail and presented a quote, which the customer agreed to.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a suitable date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our high-powered cleaning equipment and a large-surface cleaning tool to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This crucial step stops future infestations, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we encouraged the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not see any issues. The customer gave us the go-ahead, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to perform a maintenance wash, maintaining the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The transformation was amazing. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was brought back to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the look and functionality of their patio area.
