Advice On How To Perform Graffiti Removal Denver

By Eloise Hewitt


The writings or drawings that are illegally sprayed, scribbled or scratched on surfaces like walls in public places are known as graffiti. If they fail to be removed promptly, they can send a signal to the community that no one cares about the neighborhood or property. This may attract other forms of criminal activity to the neighborhood. The property values in areas that have graffiti may decline and people living there may feel unsafe.

Getting rid of street art within 24 hours after noticing it helps to prevent future illegal inscriptions. If they opt for immediate graffiti removal Denver inhabitants can indicate to vandals that someone cares about the property meaning that their illegal inscriptions may not be seen. Several methods are used to remove inscriptions from various surfaces.

When removing graffiti, it is essential to wear personal protective equipment like gloves and goggles and cover all exposed skin when removing drawings using any solvents or chemicals. Where possible, you should use non toxic chemicals and gentle methods of removal so that the surface will not get damaged. It is also important to read product labels and follow the recommendations of the manufacturer.

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.

Sometimes, vandals use felt pens to scribble drawings or writings on glass surfaces. This graffiti can be removed with dishwashing detergent, liquid laundry detergent or mineral turpentine. If the street art is scratched into a glass surface, property owners can contact a glass technician to advise them on how to remove it. They can also hire professional graffiti removers to help them get rid of illegal inscriptions.

The experience that graffiti removers have allows them to eliminate inscriptions without leaving any traces. They utilize the ideal products and usually offer after sales service to make sure that the walls remain free from street art. Denver residents can install motion cameras on their properties to discourage people from scribbling drawings on them.
