Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Chesham with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the intended appearance of the patio, making the patio dull and unappealing. Despite their efforts with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had almost given up hope. This report details how we brought back their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with entrenched black lichen stains, fully obscuring 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 resolve the issue.

Cleaning Process

Upon being called, we promptly conducted a site survey to assess the extent of the infestation and develop an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown 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 provided a thorough explanation of our method and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We set up the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our commercial-grade pressure washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s natural look.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This essential phase prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we encouraged the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer gave us the go-ahead, showing appreciation for the outcome.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to reapply the soft wash solution, preserving the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The improvement was remarkable. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was brought back to its natural state. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the beauty and comfort of their patio area.
