Basics of Graffiti Remover

 In the unfortunate case that your building, sign, or other surface falls victim to vandalism, find comfort in the fact that these marks don’t have to last forever. Graffiti removal is quite possible to accomplish whether it’s at your own hand or that of a professional.  If you opt for the do-it-yourself approach, then keep these tips in mind the next time you go to wash away graffiti stains.  

1. Be Quick 

The sooner you remove the graffiti, the better. Depending on the size of the stain and the material of the afflicted surface, promptness could mean the difference between a quick scrub or a heavy-duty power washer. 

2. Use the Best Solution 

If you’ve arrived late to the scene of the crime, or the stain is just too stubborn to remove with elbow grease, then choosing an industrial-grade solution is your next step. TidalWashers’, TIDAL GRAFFITI REMOVER, is a great option for porous, non-porous, coated, and uncoated surfaces such as brick, stone, and another masonry.  

3. Exercise Caution 

When using industrial-grade cleaning solutions, always exercise extreme care. Wear professional goggles, gloves, and other protective gear to protect yourself from the chemicals present in the solution. 

4. Test 

Before you blast away the graffiti with the help of a power washer, dampen a tiny area of the surface with water and apply a bit of the solution. Pressure wash the solution off after a few minutes and observe the condition of your surface. If it’s clean and unmarred, then the chemical is compatible. If for some reason the surface looks worse for wear, then the chemical is incompatible.  Testing the solution before applying it everywhere will make sure it cleans without destroying the entirety of your wall, sign, or another area. 

5. Know when to hire a Pro 

The allure of DIY appeals to many self-sufficient people, but it’s not always the best option. If you’re looking to remove vandalism marks from: 

• Historic buildings 
• Broken or unstable surfaces 
• Weathered masonry 

Or are simply unsure if you’re well equipped to do the job, then hire a local graffiti removal surface to do the job for you. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and end up with less damage than when you started.
