Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Litherland with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the original color of the patio, making the area unsightly and uninviting. Despite their multiple tries with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had started losing hope. This case study details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

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

Solution

Upon being called, we promptly 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 understand the difficulties faced. We explained our approach in detail and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our high-powered cleaning equipment and a specialized flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we began the cleaning process. The large surface tool worked through the layers of grime and took off most of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This essential phase prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we asked the customer to inspect the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer gave us the go-ahead, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to redo the cleaning, preserving the patio’s spotless appearance.

Transformation

The transformation was amazing. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the appearance and usability of their patio area.
