Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the toughest exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Aberdare with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the original color of the patio, making the area dull and unappealing. Despite their efforts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had almost given up hope. This case study details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with stubborn black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and could not eliminate the stains.

Our Approach

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

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We discussed our cleaning plan and presented a quote, which the customer approved.

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

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we started the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime 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 first stage of cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This essential phase prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we invited the customer to check the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer signed off on the work, showing appreciation for the outcome.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to reapply the soft wash solution, maintaining the patio’s pristine condition.

Results

The improvement was remarkable. 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 beauty and comfort of their entertaining area.
