Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Chorley with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the natural look of the patio, making the patio less appealing. Despite their efforts with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its beautiful state.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with pervasive black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and could not eliminate the stains.

Cleaning Process

Upon being reached out to, we promptly conducted a site survey to understand the scale of the cleaning required and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We discussed our cleaning plan and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our industrial-strength washer and a specialized flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we began the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime and took off most 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 prevent rapid regrowth. This important stage prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged the customer to inspect the patio. They were very pleased 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 planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, keeping the patio’s beautiful look.

Outcome

The transformation was amazing. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the look and functionality of their outdoor space.
