Graffiti Removal - Tips and
Tricks
 Clean the Surface
 Before beginning with the process of graffiti removal, make sure
you clean the surface thoroughly. Start from the top and work your
way to the bottom and catch any liquid that falls as you clean.
 Chalk or Spray
 The kind of technique that will work best for graffiti removal
depends on what type the graffiti is. Pressure washers work best
when you are dealing with chalk graffiti. On the other hand, you
will have to use some abrasives such as acetone, paint thinner, or
other baking soda based products to remove graffiti done with
spray paints. It also depends on the surface the paint is sprayed at
as everything doesn’t work best in all cases.
 Clean the Entire Area
 While the main aim is to remove graffiti, you cannot leave the
entire wall as such and just clean a small part of it. This is going to
leave an outline of the graffiti on the wall, which looks really bad.
Therefore, plan to clean the entire wall or any other structure.
Clean the whole area and don’t just focus on a small part where
the graffiti was.
