Tips On Graffiti Removal Denver

By Eloise Hewitt


The drawings or writings that are illicitly scratched, scribbled or sprayed on walls or other surfaces in public places are referred to as graffiti. If they are not removed promptly, they send a signal that no one cares about the property or area. This can attract other types of crime to the area. Neighborhoods that have illegal inscriptions experience a decline in property values and other negative effects such as people feeling unsafe.

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.

The best method of removing drawings that are on light painted surfaces is by repainting the whole surface using a dark color. Alternatively, you can paint the whole surface with a similar color to the one used on the inscriptions to avoid creating a patchwork or billboard effect on the wall. Testing a small area before starting to paint is important since this will let you know if the drawings will bleed through the paint. If this will happen, apply a sealer and then paint.

It is wise for property owners to apply a protective coating on painted surfaces. Anti graffiti coatings help ensure that inscriptions do not soak in the surface of paint and this may discourage vandalism. Inscriptions that are scribbled on unpainted surfaces can be removed using paint strippers or solvent removers. When using these products, one should wait 3 to 5 minutes after applying the product on the inscriptions and then use a wire brush to agitate them. They can then be washed away using 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.

The fact that professional graffiti removers are experienced means that they can complete the job better than you. They know what to use for what type of job. They also make sure that your walls remain free from street art by offering after sales services. You can install motion sensors to discourage vandals from leaving illicit drawings on your property.
