Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Accrington with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the area dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This report details how we renewed their patio to its original beauty.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with pervasive 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 did not remove the lichen.

Our Approach

Upon being contacted, we quickly conducted a property assessment to understand the scale of the cleaning required and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the difficulties faced. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our industrial-strength washer and a large-surface cleaning tool to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner effectively cut through the dirt 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 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 longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, 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 signed off on the work, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, maintaining the patio’s spotless appearance.

Transformation

The transformation was remarkable. 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 appearance and usability of their entertaining area.
