Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Wealdstone with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the original color of the patio, making the area less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had almost given up hope. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its original beauty.

Customer Challenges

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with entrenched black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts using a domestic jet wash, which proved ineffective and did not remove the lichen.

Solution

Upon being called, we immediately conducted a site survey to determine the severity of the lichen problem and develop an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the difficulties faced. 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 set up our industrial-strength washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we commenced the cleaning process. The large surface tool effectively cut through the dirt and took off most of the black lichen staining, restoring much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to inhibit new lichen formation. This essential phase keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon wrapping up the service, we asked the customer to review the patio. They were thrilled with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer signed off on the work, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to reapply the soft wash solution, preserving the patio’s pristine condition.

Results

The improvement was stunning. The patio, once overrun by black lichen stains, was brought back to its original color and beauty. The customer was thrilled with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the look and functionality of their patio area.
