Graffiti Removal Melbourne - 3 Tips For Success


Graffiti removal Melbourne methods will vary depending on the surface being cleaned.  Before you start, remember that: 
  • The sooner the graffiti is removed, the less chance that other graffiti artists will leave their "tag" on your wall.
  • Always use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, protective eyewear, etc. and cover all exposed skin when removing any graffiti using any chemicals, solvents, etc.
  • Always test a small area not easily seen before trying to remove graffiti.
  • To try and remove the graffiti from various services yourself, use the tips below:
Painted Surfaces
Painting over graffiti is a low-cost solution to removing graffiti and is effective when a surface has been previously painted. Graffiti is usually found on lightly painted surfaces as the "taggers" work stands out more on a light surface. Because of this, it is best to repaint the entire surface area with a dark colour as this will be less attractive to graffiti vandals.
Before you start to paint, test a small area first to see if the graffiti will "bleed" through the paint. If this happens, a sealer should be used before painting.
Unpainted Surfaces
If you have light graffiti on an unpainted surface, you must ensure you act quickly as the graffiti can penetrate into the surface making it much harder for it to be fully removed. Raw masonry surfaces are always a favourite target of taggers. Try a solvent remover, waiting 3 to 5 minutes before agitating with a wire brush then washing away from surface.
Glass Surfaces
The most effective way to remove painted graffiti from glass surfaces is with a razor blade in a holder at a 30 degree angle. If all is not removed, a fine steel wool can be used with water to remove excess, being careful not to use too much in one area as this will scratch the glass. Paint thinners could also be used.
