Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Church Hill with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the original color of the patio, making the area dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This report details how we renewed their patio to its beautiful state.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with entrenched black lichen stains, fully obscuring its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which proved ineffective and did not resolve the issue.

Our Approach

Upon being called, we quickly conducted a detailed evaluation 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 scope of the project. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and presented a quote, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our commercial-grade pressure washer and a large-surface cleaning tool to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The large surface tool effectively cut through the dirt and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This essential phase stops future infestations, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged the customer to check the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer signed off on the work, showing appreciation for the outcome.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, preserving the patio’s beautiful look.

Outcome

The change 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 beauty and comfort of their outdoor space.
