Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning challenges across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Redditch with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the natural look of the patio, making the area unsightly and uninviting. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home 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 former glory.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with stubborn black lichen stains, fully obscuring its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and could not eliminate the stains.

Cleaning Process

Upon being reached out to, we immediately conducted a property assessment 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 inspected the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and presented a quote, which the customer accepted.

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 ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we started the cleaning process. The large surface tool 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 gentle cleaning formula designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This important stage prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, 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 gave us the go-ahead, sharing their happiness with the results.

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, keeping the patio’s beautiful look.

Transformation

The improvement was remarkable. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was restored to its original color and beauty. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the look and functionality of their entertaining area.
