Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Thatcham with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the natural look of the patio, making the area dull and unappealing. Despite their efforts with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had almost given up hope. This report details how we renewed their patio to its beautiful state.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was dominated with stubborn black lichen stains, fully obscuring 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.

Our Approach

Upon being reached out to, we immediately conducted a detailed evaluation to determine the severity of the lichen problem and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the customer’s property to evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and offered a price estimate, 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 set up our high-powered cleaning equipment and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to ensure thorough cleaning.

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 eliminated the majority of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a specialized solution designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This important stage stops future infestations, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon completing the cleaning process, we invited the customer to check the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer signed off on the work, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer asked for an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, preserving the patio’s beautiful look.

Results

The change was remarkable. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was restored to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the beauty and comfort of their outdoor space.
