Introduction

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in tackling the most challenging exterior cleaning projects across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Wythenshawe with a persistent black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had completely obscured the intended appearance of the patio, making the patio unsightly and uninviting. Despite their attempts with a domestic jet wash from B&Q, the customer was unable to get rid of the stains and had felt discouraged. 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 invested considerable time using a domestic jet wash, which failed to make a difference and did not resolve the issue.

Our Approach

Upon being contacted, we immediately conducted a detailed evaluation to assess the extent of the infestation and formulate an effective cleaning strategy. Here’s a explanation of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We went to the customer’s property to examine the severity of the lichen infestation and identify the scope of the project. We discussed our cleaning plan and presented a quote, which the customer approved.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a agreed date for the customer. On the day of the service, we assembled our industrial-strength washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to deliver effective results.

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, bringing back much of the patio’s original appearance.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the first stage of cleaning, we applied a specialized solution designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This essential phase keeps organic contaminants at bay, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: Upon finishing the project, we encouraged 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: Thrilled with the results, the customer arranged an annual maintenance service. We planned to revisit annually to perform a maintenance wash, keeping the patio’s spotless appearance.

Results

The change was stunning. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was restored to its bright, clean appearance. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a significant improvement in the look and functionality of their outdoor space.
