Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Burmantofts with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the intended appearance of the patio, making the outdoor space unsightly and uninviting. Despite their efforts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we restored their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with pervasive black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and did not remove the lichen.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we promptly conducted a property assessment to understand the scale of the cleaning required and plan 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 assess the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the difficulties faced. We discussed our cleaning plan and offered a price estimate, which the customer agreed to.

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 industrial-strength washer and a large-surface cleaning tool to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we started the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime 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 gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This crucial step keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we invited the customer to inspect the patio. They were very pleased 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: Pleased with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, preserving the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The change was amazing. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the appearance and usability of their entertaining area.
