Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we take pride in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a client approached us in Woodley with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the natural look of the patio, making the area dull and unappealing. Despite their efforts with a store-bought 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 beautiful state.

Obstacles Faced

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with pervasive black lichen stains, completely masking its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which only left streaks and did not resolve the issue.

Our Approach

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

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to assess the severity of the lichen infestation and evaluate the difficulties faced. We discussed our cleaning plan and presented a quote, 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 prepared our high-powered cleaning equipment and a specialized flat surface cleaner to guarantee a deep clean.

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

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the initial cleaning, we applied a specialized solution designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This essential phase keeps organic contaminants at bay, 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 very pleased with the results and did not see any issues. The customer gave us the go-ahead, sharing their happiness with the results.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Pleased with the results, the customer arranged 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 remarkable. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was restored to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the beauty and comfort of their patio area.
