Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Bexhill-on-Sea with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the natural look of the patio, making the outdoor space dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had felt discouraged. This case study details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with entrenched 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 could not eliminate the stains.

Cleaning Process

Upon being called, 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 visited the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We explained our approach in detail and offered a price estimate, which the customer agreed to.

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

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner quickly removed debris and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This crucial step stops future infestations, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged the customer to review the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer approved the results, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to perform a maintenance wash, preserving the patio’s pristine condition.

Results

The change was remarkable. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was restored to its natural state. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the look and functionality of their patio area.
