Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Batley with a severe 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 clean off the grime and had almost given up hope. This project summary details how we restored their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with stubborn black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and did not resolve the issue.

Our Approach

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

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the challenges involved. We discussed our cleaning plan and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

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 commercial-grade pressure washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner quickly removed debris and took off most of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s natural look.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This crucial step prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we encouraged the customer to check the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not see any issues. The customer gave us the go-ahead, 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, preserving the patio’s beautiful look.

Results

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the appearance and usability of their outdoor space.
