Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Wood Green with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the natural look of the patio, making the patio less appealing. Despite their efforts with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This report details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Customer Challenges

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with stubborn black lichen stains, fully obscuring its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and did not resolve the issue.

Cleaning Process

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

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the challenges involved. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and presented a quote, 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 assembled our high-powered cleaning equipment and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we began the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner worked through the layers of grime and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This crucial step stops future infestations, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we invited the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled 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: Impressed with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to perform a maintenance wash, preserving the patio’s spotless appearance.

Outcome

The transformation was remarkable. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was returned to its original color and beauty. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the look and functionality of their outdoor space.
