One negative aspect of having a public business location is dealing with graffiti. Unfortunately, there are some people out there that think it is okay to graffiti public buildings, making life difficult for all those who own them. While removing graffiti can be quite the hassle and is incredibly frustrating, graffiti removal is possible. If you would like to attempt to remove the graffiti on your own, there are some things that you are going to want to keep in mind. This article is going to discuss 2 tips for removing graffiti on your business. 

Give Power Washing A Try 

If the graffiti was done on a rough exterior surface, such as stucco, an effective method for removal is going to be power washing. You will start off by making sure that the power washer is up high enough to remove the paint, but isn't up too high so that it doesn't chip off some of the stucco. Once you have done this, you can then use special cleaners mixed into the liquid coming out of the power washer, to remove as much of the graffiti as possible from the surface. The cleaners that you can mix in with your liquid are made specifically to remove graffiti for different surfaces, so you will want to make sure that you choose the correct graffiti remover for the surface that you plan on power washing. While this likely isn't going to remove the graffiti entirely, it is going to be a very effective method for removing the graffiti without having to tear off your stucco and replace it. Painting your stucco once this is done can also help to cover up whatever markings may be left behind after you have power washed it. 

Keep Paint On Hand 

If the surface that is generally covered with graffiti is a smoother surface that is painted, the best way to remove the graffiti is going to be to paint over it. However, one problem that you may run into when it comes to repainting this area is trying to find a paint color that matches perfectly. A good way to avoid this issue is to keep a supply of extra paint on hand. This is going to be especially important for you if your business seems to get graffitied regularly, because you can quickly and easily repaint the area that is graffitied without having to go out and buy new paint each time.
