Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Congleton with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the intended appearance of the patio, making the area less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had almost given up hope. This report details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with pervasive black lichen stains, hiding 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.

Our Approach

Upon being contacted, we quickly 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 inspected the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the scope of the project. We discussed our cleaning plan and presented a quote, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a suitable date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our industrial-strength washer and a large-surface cleaning tool to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we started the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner effectively cut through the dirt 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 preliminary cleaning, we applied a specialized solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This crucial step stops future infestations, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we asked the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled 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: Pleased with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to redo the cleaning, preserving the patio’s beautiful look.

Outcome

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the beauty and comfort of their outdoor space.
