2. Removing graffiti from painted surfaces is a problem for many business owners in towns and cities across England. The best thing you can do for removing graffiti from painted surfaces, as quickly and effectively as possible, is to put some preventative measures in place to ward off further marks. Many business owners choose to paint on top of the graffiti but this method is largely ineffective as the graffiti will show through the paint over time. Plus, painting over the graffiti is simply creating a new blank canvas. Luckily, removing graffiti from a painted surface isn’t too difficult to achieve with the right method. Here are some tips for effective graffiti removal.

3. HOW TO REMOVE GRAFFITI FROM PAINTED SURFACES There are a few methods you could try to remove graffiti from painted surfaces. USE ACETONE Most commonly used as the key ingredient in nail polish remover, acetone can be used with a cloth to wipe away graffiti. All you need to do is pour a little acetone onto your cloth and rub carefully on the graffiti to remove it. This method is effective on many types of graffiti, but it may leave you with an ugly splotch where the graffiti was if you are too enthusiastic. TRY A SPECIALIST GEL There are several products on the market that claim to remove graffiti using a gel solution. Use the gel according to the instructions given, making sure that you wash it all away properly. Again, this method needs some effort to wipe away the graffiti and you must ensure that the cloths you use are disposed of properly.

4. USE PROFESSIONALS FOR REMOVING GRAFFITI SAND BLASTING A common solution for graffiti is sandblasting. The sand can be used to remove only the top layer. While this method is relatively quick and easy, you do run the risk of removing some of the paint if the sandblaster is used too much. However, a professional graffiti removal expert will be able to minimise the damage to your paintwork. STEAM CLEANING A final method for removing graffiti is to use simple steam power. Instead of using sand, a jet of hot water and steam is used to remove the graffiti, leaving the paintwork underneath unscathed. This is an eco-friendly method but it does require the skills of a professional cleaner.

5. APPLY AN ANTI GRAFFITI COATING Once you have finished removing graffiti from painted surfaces and your wall is clear of graffiti, you should consider using an anti-graffiti coating to ensure easier cleaning next time around. With this method, even if you can’t stop the vandals you can speed up the process of removing graffiti from painted surfaces quickly and without a fuss.
