Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Cheltenham with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the intended appearance of the patio, making the area less appealing. Despite their attempts with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had almost given up hope. This project summary details how we restored their patio to its original beauty.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with stubborn black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and did not remove the lichen.

Cleaning Process

Upon being reached out to, we promptly conducted a property assessment to assess the extent of the infestation and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the difficulties faced. We discussed our cleaning plan and offered a price estimate, which the customer agreed to.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a suitable date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our industrial-strength washer 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 large surface tool worked through the layers of grime and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This essential phase stops future infestations, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we asked the customer to inspect the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer signed off on the work, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to redo the cleaning, preserving the patio’s spotless appearance.

Outcome

The change was amazing. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was returned to its original color and beauty. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the beauty and comfort of their patio area.
