Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Barnsley with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the original color of the patio, making the patio dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with pervasive 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 did not resolve the issue.

Solution

Upon being called, we immediately conducted a detailed evaluation to understand the scale of the cleaning required and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the difficulties faced. We explained our approach in detail and offered a price estimate, which the customer accepted.

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 large-surface cleaning tool to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful 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, restoring much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This essential phase stops future infestations, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we asked the customer to check the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not see any issues. 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 perform a maintenance wash, keeping the patio’s spotless appearance.

Results

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was brought back to its original color and beauty. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the beauty and comfort of their entertaining area.
