Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Eastover with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the patio less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This report details how we restored their patio to its beautiful state.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued 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 proved ineffective and could not eliminate the stains.

Cleaning Process

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

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the challenges involved. We explained our approach in detail and offered a price estimate, 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 prepared our industrial-strength washer and a large-surface cleaning tool to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we started the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner quickly removed debris and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a specialized solution designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This crucial step keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we encouraged the customer to check the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer approved the results, showing appreciation for the outcome.

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

Outcome

The transformation was amazing. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was restored to its original color and beauty. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the appearance and usability of their entertaining area.
