Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Sale with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the outdoor space less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had started losing hope. This project summary details how we renewed their patio to its original beauty.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with entrenched black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and did not remove the lichen.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we quickly conducted a site survey to understand the scale of the cleaning required and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and understand 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 commercial-grade pressure washer and a large-surface cleaning tool to deliver effective results.

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

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 stops future infestations, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer signed off on the work, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to perform a maintenance wash, preserving the patio’s beautiful look.

Outcome

The change was remarkable. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was brought back to its original color and beauty. The customer was ecstatic with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the beauty and comfort of their outdoor space.

Customer Review
