Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Blackpool with a significant 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 store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we restored their patio to its beautiful state.

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 resolve the issue.

Our Approach

Upon being reached out to, 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 inspected the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the scope of the project. We discussed our cleaning plan and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our high-powered cleaning equipment and a large-surface cleaning tool to guarantee a deep clean.

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, restoring much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This important stage keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we invited the customer to inspect the patio. They were thrilled 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 planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, keeping the patio’s spotless appearance.

Results

The improvement was stunning. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was returned to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the look and functionality of their outdoor space.
