Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Bessacarr 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 multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with pervasive black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and did not resolve the issue.

Solution

Upon being reached out to, we promptly conducted a detailed evaluation to understand the scale of the cleaning required and plan 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 assess the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the difficulties faced. We explained our approach in detail and provided a quotation, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our high-powered cleaning equipment and a specialized flat surface cleaner to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we began the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This important stage 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 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 set up a plan to come back annually to redo the cleaning, maintaining the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The improvement was remarkable. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the beauty and comfort of their entertaining area.
