Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the toughest exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Workington with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had entirely masked the natural look of the patio, making the patio dull and unappealing. Despite their efforts with a store-bought pressure washer, the customer was unable to remove the lichen and had started losing hope. This project summary details how we brought back their patio to its former glory.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with entrenched black lichen stains, hiding its original color.
• Ineffective DIY Efforts: The customer had made numerous efforts 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 quickly conducted a site survey to understand the scale of the cleaning required and plan an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We explained our approach in detail and offered a price estimate, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of the service, we set up our high-powered cleaning equipment and a large-surface cleaning tool to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our high-pressure equipment, we started the cleaning process. The large surface tool worked through the layers of grime and removed approximately 95% 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 soft wash solution designed to prevent rapid regrowth. This essential phase keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged the customer to check the patio. They were very pleased with the results and did not identify any areas needing further attention. The customer gave us the go-ahead, expressing their delight with the transformation.

6. Annual Maintenance Plan: Thrilled with the results, the customer requested an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to redo the cleaning, keeping the patio’s pristine condition.

Transformation

The change was stunning. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was brought back to its natural state. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the beauty and comfort of their patio area.
