Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Skegness with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the intended appearance of the patio, making the patio less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had started losing hope. This report details how we renewed their patio to its beautiful state.

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 only left streaks and could not eliminate the stains.

Our Approach

Upon being called, we promptly 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 visited the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the challenges involved. We explained our approach in detail and provided a quotation, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We set up the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our industrial-strength washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we began 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 natural look.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This important stage keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we asked the customer to inspect the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not see any issues. The customer approved the results, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled 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 change was remarkable. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was returned to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the look and functionality of their entertaining area.
