How to Remove Graffiti From Wall?

August 14, 2020 By Miranda Jackson Leave a Comment

Even if for some graffiti is an art form, it can still anger the owners of buildings vandalized by these tags. If you have tags or graffiti on your exterior walls, a few solutions exist to remove them.

It is essential to mention that no matter what the trick or the product, it is challenging to remove tags, but luckily not impossible. Here are some tips and products to effectively clean graffiti.

1. Remove graffiti with a high-pressure cleaner

A quick way to remove or rather clean up graffiti from an exterior stone or brick wall is pressure washing.

It is essential to use a very high-pressure cleaner with a suitable cleaning product to remove all traces of the tag.

If you can rent or buy a pressure washer, depending on its power, the graffiti could very well come off. If the brick on your wall hasn’t absorbed too much paint, it could jump off the wall.

If there is some paint left, pour in some bleach, and repeat the high pressure cleaning step.

2. Use anti-graffiti paint

There is a kind of paint (sold in good hardware stores), which is made of a powerful solvent. With this paint, graffiti will not be able to dry to the point of penetrating too much into the materials of the wall.

A simple cleaning then removes this paint. This is a preventative paint for future graffiti that might be done.

Apply a waterproofing product to the stone wall

For owners of businesses or apartment blocks, an excellent solution to prevent and protect themselves from graffiti is the application of a waterproofing product.

A waterproofing and stain repellant for porous materials is therefore ideal for protecting brick and concrete walls against tags but also against moss, grease, and other dirt.

3. Paint over the graffiti

If you do not succeed in completely removing the tags or if you do not have the time or the means to clean them, another solution is possible.

Indeed, repainting the wall where the graffiti is located can be an excellent trick to remove all traces of the tag. Graffiti hides well with paint, but you may need to apply several coats of paint to hide the tags altogether.

This solution can be less expensive than doing business with a company that specializes in high-pressure cleaning and graffiti removal.

4. Erase graffiti with baking soda

Did you know that baking soda is a product that can be used to remove graffiti from a wall?

Indeed, if the graffiti is small and easily reached, a recipe based on baking soda and water can be useful to remove everything. Here’s how to do it:

  • Mix water with baking soda
  • Use a brush to rub the tag with this mixture.

If you are unable to eradicate the tag, add bleach to the solution. Efficient and quick to erase everything!

5. The town hall of your district to remove a tag

Depending on where you live, the town hall can take care of removing graffiti from the facades of houses, buildings, and businesses.

The only downside with this trick is that you will have to be patient before you see a crew come to clean your wall.

So if you are in a hurry to see graffiti disappear from your building, it is better to do it yourself or contact a graffiti cleaning professional in your area.

6. Call in a professional graffiti cleaning service

If you have the financial means, then why not do business with a real specialist in graffiti cleaning?

This type of business offers professional service with products that work against tags. If you want to remove the tags from the walls of your building quickly, this is probably the best solution.

Some companies use the pressure washing technique, while others will choose to airbrush instead. The latter, which uses abrasive power, is undoubtedly the best technique to remove a tag quickly and efficiently.
