Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a property owner approached us in Staddiscombe with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the original color of the patio, making the area unsightly and uninviting. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. This report details how we brought back their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with stubborn black lichen stains, hiding 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 reached out to, we promptly conducted a property assessment to understand the scale of the cleaning required and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We inspected the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the challenges involved. We discussed our cleaning plan and offered a price estimate, which the customer agreed to.

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

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we began the cleaning process. The advanced cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s natural look.

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 more durable finish.

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

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We set up a plan to come back annually to reapply the soft wash solution, maintaining the patio’s spotless appearance.

Outcome

The improvement was stunning. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was returned 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.
