Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the toughest exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Wollaton with a severe black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the original color of the patio, making the area unsightly and uninviting. Despite their efforts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had almost given up hope. This report details how we renewed their patio to its original beauty.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was plagued with pervasive black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had spent many hours using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and could not eliminate the stains.

Cleaning Process

Upon being contacted, we promptly conducted a site survey to determine the severity of the lichen problem 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 explained our approach in detail and offered a price estimate, which the customer accepted.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We arranged 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 specialized 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 quickly removed debris and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a soft wash solution designed to prevent rapid regrowth. 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 check the patio. They were extremely satisfied with the results and did not find any spots that needed more work. The customer approved the results, showing appreciation for the outcome.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We agreed to return annually to perform a maintenance wash, keeping the patio’s pristine condition.

Outcome

The change was stunning. The patio, once dominated by black lichen stains, was returned to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a major upgrade in the look and functionality of their patio area.
