Graffiti is an exciting form of self-expression through art. Graffiti includes pictures, symbols and letters which are tagged by individuals. Because this is not a regulated form of art, taggers will sometimes leave images that are not desirable. If you feel that the presence of graffiti on your premises is not suitable for the image of your establishment, you can organise to have it removed. The removal method which works on your walls will depend on; the type of paint used the size of the graffiti and the surface on which it is painted. Here are three of the simplest ways to remove graffiti from your premises.

1. Pressure Washing

If the graffiti is on a brick surface, the best way to remove it is through pressure washing. Compact pressure washers are the best to strip graffiti off the walls. Removal with a pressure washer will work when you set up the appliance to a pressure of less than 700psi. You should also ensure that the nozzle of the pressure washer is wide enough to clean the surface without ruining the wall. If you use a pressure washer with a narrow nozzle on a wall, the pressure might etch and destroy the surface of the wall.

2. Using Blasting Techniques 

Another graffiti removal method that works is using sandblasting. This method works best when it is handled by a professional. If sandblasting is not carried out by a professional, you might end up weakening the structural integrity of the structure. When carrying out sandblasting, ensure that you move the blaster all over the surface and the surrounding surface, which does not have paint. This will blend in both surfaces so that they look uniform by the end of the process.

3. Use of Chemicals

If the graffiti is sprayed on a surface that is well painted and sealed against weathering, it is possible to remove it using chemicals. Mineral spirits are useful when the surface is well sealed; otherwise, they will drive the paint further inside the wall. A professional remover will look at the condition of the wood before deciding whether to use chemicals to strip it off or not.

These are the simple techniques you can use to remove graffiti from the walls. Note that successful removal depends on the person handling the process. Other methods like painting can be used, but only as a last resort, when all other methods have failed. As long as you have a competent graffiti remover, your surfaces will be as good as new within no time.
