Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in St Helens with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the original color of the patio, making the patio unsightly and uninviting. Despite their attempts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had felt discouraged. This case study details how we renewed their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with stubborn black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts 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 quickly conducted a property assessment to understand the scale of the cleaning required and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the difficulties faced. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and offered a price estimate, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our industrial-strength washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our specialized equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner worked through the layers of grime and took off most 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 specialized solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This crucial step stops future infestations, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

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

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Impressed with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, maintaining the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The improvement was amazing. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the appearance and usability of their outdoor space.
