Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the toughest exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Gorton with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the natural look of the patio, making the outdoor space less appealing. Despite their efforts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had almost given up hope. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its beautiful state.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with stubborn black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which proved ineffective and did not remove the lichen.

Our Approach

Upon being reached out to, we promptly conducted a detailed evaluation to assess the extent of the infestation and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown 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 provided a quotation, which the customer agreed to.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our high-powered cleaning equipment and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The large surface tool worked through the layers of grime and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s natural look.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This important stage stops future infestations, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we invited the customer to inspect the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer signed off on the work, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to perform a maintenance wash, keeping the patio’s beautiful look.

Outcome

The improvement was remarkable. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the appearance and usability of their outdoor space.
