Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Arnold with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the outdoor space less appealing. Despite their attempts with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had started losing hope. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

• 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.

Solution

Upon being contacted, we promptly conducted a detailed evaluation to assess the extent of the infestation and develop an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the difficulties faced. We discussed our cleaning plan and provided a quotation, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We set up the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our commercial-grade pressure washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we began the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This essential phase keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we encouraged the customer to check the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not see any issues. The customer signed off on the work, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to redo the cleaning, maintaining the patio’s spotless appearance.

Results

The transformation was amazing. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was restored to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the appearance and usability of their entertaining area.
