Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Littlehampton with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the original color of the patio, making the area less appealing. Despite their attempts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had almost given up hope. This report details how we restored their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with pervasive black lichen stains, fully obscuring 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 site survey to assess the extent of the infestation and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the difficulties faced. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and offered a price estimate, which the customer agreed to.

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

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, reviving much of the patio’s original appearance.

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 essential phase keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a more durable finish.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we invited the customer to inspect the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer signed off on the work, 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 redo the cleaning, maintaining the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The transformation was remarkable. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was brought back to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the look and functionality of their entertaining area.
