Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Boston with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the intended appearance of the patio, making the patio less appealing. Despite their attempts with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had started losing hope. This case study details how we renewed their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with entrenched black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and did not resolve the issue.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we quickly conducted a site survey to determine the severity of the lichen problem and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the difficulties faced. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and provided a quotation, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We set up the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our high-powered cleaning equipment and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we started the cleaning process. The large surface tool effectively cut through the dirt and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, bringing back 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 keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we asked the customer to inspect the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer gave us the go-ahead, showing appreciation for the outcome.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, maintaining the patio’s spotless appearance.

Results

The transformation was stunning. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the appearance and usability of their outdoor space.
