Graffiti removal services solihull will vary depending on
the surface being cleaned. Before you
start, remember that:
The sooner the graffiti is removed, the less chance that
other graffiti artists will leave their "tag" on your wall.
To try and remove the graffiti from various services
yourself, use the tips below:
Painted Surfaces:
Painting over graffiti is a low-cost solution to removing
graffiti and is effective when a surface has been previously painted. Graffiti
is usually found on lightly painted surfaces as the "taggers" work
stands out more on a light surface. Because of this, it is best to repaint the
entire surface area with a dark colour as this will be less attractive to
graffiti vandals. If this is not possible, paint the whole area in a matching
colour so that a patchwork or billboard effect isn't created on your wall as it
will make a great canvas and will invite more graffiti.
Unpainted Surfaces:
If you have light graffiti on an unpainted surface, you must
ensure you act quickly as the graffiti can penetrate into the surface making it
much harder for it to be fully removed. Raw masonry surfaces are always a
favourite target of taggers. Try a solvent remover, waiting 3 to 5 minutes
before agitating with a wire brush then washing away from surface.
Glass Surfaces:
The most effective way to remove painted graffiti from glass
surfaces is with a razor blade in a holder at a 30 degree angle. If all is not
removed, a fine steel wool can be used with water to remove excess, being
careful not to use too much in one area as this will scratch the glass. Paint
thinners could also be used.
