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 South Yardley with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the original color of the patio, making the area dull and unappealing. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This report details how we renewed their patio to its former glory.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with stubborn black lichen stains, completely masking 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 contacted, we quickly conducted a property assessment to assess the extent of the infestation and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the challenges involved. We discussed our cleaning plan and provided a quotation, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a suitable 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 deliver effective results.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner worked through the layers of grime and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This crucial step prevents the rapid return of lichen, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we encouraged the customer to check the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not see any issues. The customer approved the results, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to perform a maintenance wash, maintaining the patio’s spotless appearance.

Transformation

The transformation was remarkable. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was restored to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the beauty and comfort of their outdoor space.
