Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the toughest exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Calverley with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the intended appearance of the patio, making the outdoor space 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 felt discouraged. This report details how we renewed their patio to its beautiful state.

Customer Challenges

• 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.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we quickly conducted a site survey to assess the extent of the infestation 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 evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the difficulties faced. We explained our approach in detail and provided a quotation, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We set up 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 guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we started the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s natural look.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a specialized solution designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This important stage prevents the rapid return of lichen, 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 extremely satisfied with the results and did not see any issues. The customer signed off on the work, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to perform a maintenance wash, keeping the patio’s beautiful look.

Transformation

The change was stunning. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was restored to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the beauty and comfort of their patio area.
