What You Need To Know About Graffiti Removal Denver

By Eloise Hewitt


Graffiti is the writings or drawings that are illicitly scribbled, sprayed or scratched on walls and other surfaces in public areas. Failure to remove them quickly may be an indication that nobody cares about the area or property and this can encourage other crimes in the area. Areas that have graffiti experience negative effects like people feeling unsafe and property values declining.

Removing illicit inscriptions within the first twenty four hours if possible helps prevent future street art. By opting for prompt graffiti removal Denver residents can signal to the vandals that someone cares about their neighborhood and that their street art has little chance of being seen. The methods of removing street art vary depending on the surface that is being cleaned.

As you remove graffiti, it is important to put on personal protective equipment such as goggles and gloves. Make sure that all exposed skin is covered if you want to remove the drawings using chemicals or solvents. To keep the surface from getting damaged, use non toxic chemicals and other gentle methods of removal. You should also read the labels of the products and follow what the manufacturer has recommended.

If the street art is on a light painted surface, it can be removed by repainting the surface with dark colored paint. The entire surface can also be painted with paint that matches the drawings to avoid creating patchwork or billboard effect on the wall. Before beginning to paint the wall, property owners should first test a small area to determine if the drawings will bleed through paint. If they bleed, a sealer should be used before painting.

It is advisable to apply an anti graffiti protective coating on a painted surface. This coating prevents inscriptions from soaking into the surface and may deter the vandals. If the drawings have been scribbled or sprayed on an unpainted surface, you can remove them using a solvent remover or paint stripper. Wait for three to five minutes after applying the solvent remover on the drawings and then agitate them using a wire brush. You can then wash them away with water.

If the vandals painted the drawings on a glass surface, place a razor blade in a holder at an angle of thirty degrees and use it to remove the drawings. If you are unable to efficiently remove the drawings with a razor blade, you can remove the remaining drawings using water and fine steel wool. Alternatively, you can use paint thinners.

You may use liquid laundry detergent, dish washing detergent or mineral turpentine to remove illicit inscriptions that have been scribbled on a glass surface using felt pens. You can consult with a glass technician if the drawings have been scratched into the glass. It is also wise to hire a professional graffiti remover. This professional can remove illicit drawings completely.

Graffiti removal service providers are experienced and therefore better than you at the job. They know about the best products to use for the job. They also offer after sales services to ensure that your walls always remain free from illicit drawings. To keep your property free from such drawings, you can discourage vandals by installing motion sensors.
