Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Bloxwich with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the area less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This report details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with entrenched black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts using a domestic jet wash, which proved ineffective and did not remove the lichen.

Solution

Upon being called, we promptly conducted a detailed evaluation to determine the severity of the lichen problem 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 evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the difficulties faced. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and presented a quote, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled 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 ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we began the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner worked through the layers of grime and took off most 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 inhibit new lichen formation. This crucial step 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 very pleased with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer approved the results, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to perform a maintenance wash, maintaining the patio’s beautiful look.

Transformation

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was brought back to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the appearance and usability of their entertaining area.
