Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Carshalton with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the original color of the patio, making the patio unsightly and uninviting. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had almost given up hope. This project summary details how we restored their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with stubborn 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 did not remove the lichen.

Solution

Upon being reached out to, we quickly conducted a property assessment to determine the severity of the lichen problem and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the scope of the project. We explained our approach in detail and presented a quote, 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 set up our high-powered cleaning equipment and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner quickly removed debris and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This essential phase stops future infestations, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged the customer to review the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not see any issues. The customer signed off on the work, 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 reapply the soft wash solution, preserving the patio’s spotless appearance.

Outcome

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