Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Bordesley Green with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the patio dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had almost given up hope. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with pervasive black lichen stains, fully obscuring its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts using a domestic jet wash, which proved ineffective and could not eliminate the stains.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we immediately 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 evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We explained our approach in detail and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a suitable date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our high-powered cleaning equipment and a specialized flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we started 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 intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This crucial step stops future infestations, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, 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, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to perform a maintenance wash, maintaining the patio’s pristine condition.

Results

The transformation was remarkable. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was brought back to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the appearance and usability of their entertaining area.
