Project Overview

At Mr Clever Clean, we focus on tackling the most stubborn exterior cleaning issues across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us in Yateley with a significant black lichen infestation on their patio. The lichen had covered up the intended appearance of the patio, making the patio less appealing. Despite their multiple tries with a standard home pressure washer, the customer was unable to clean off the grime and had started losing hope. This project summary details how we renewed their patio to its original beauty.

Client Issues

• Black Lichen Infestation: The patio was covered with stubborn black lichen stains, hiding 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.

Cleaning Process

Upon being called, we quickly conducted a property assessment to understand the scale of the cleaning required 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 evaluate the severity of the lichen infestation and understand the scope of the project. We provided a thorough explanation of our method and provided a quotation, which the customer agreed to.

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 commercial-grade pressure washer and a 21-inch flat surface cleaner to guarantee a deep clean.

3. Commercial Pressure Washing: Using our powerful equipment, we began the cleaning process. The 21-inch flat surface cleaner effectively cut through the dirt and removed approximately 95% of the black lichen staining, bringing back much of the patio’s intended beauty.

4. Application of Soft Wash Solution: After the preliminary cleaning, we applied a gentle cleaning formula designed to break the cycle of organic growth. This essential phase stops future infestations, ensuring a cleaner look over time.

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

Results

The change was amazing. The patio, once plagued by black lichen stains, was returned to its original color and beauty. The customer was delighted with the outcome, noting a noticeable difference in the look and functionality of their entertaining area.
