Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Holloway with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the natural look of the patio, making the area less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This case study details how we brought back their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with entrenched black lichen stains, completely masking 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.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we promptly conducted a property assessment to determine the severity of the lichen problem and develop an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the challenges involved. We discussed our cleaning plan and presented a quote, which the customer agreed to.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a suitable date for the customer. On the day of the service, we prepared our commercial-grade pressure washer and a specialized flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we began the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s intended beauty.

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 stops future infestations, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we invited the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer approved the results, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to perform a maintenance wash, maintaining the patio’s beautiful look.

Transformation

The transformation was amazing. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was brought back to its original color and beauty. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the appearance and usability of their outdoor space.
