Graffiti Removal - Birmingham, Midlands
Graffiti is a form of vandalism that can damage the appearance and value of your property. Whether it is on a wall, a fence, a sign, or any other surface, graffiti can be unsightly and offensive. It can also attract more graffiti and other forms of crime, creating a negative image for your business or community.
According to a report by Keep Britain Tidy, graffiti costs the UK economy over £1 billion a year in clean-up and enforcement. Graffiti is also a source of controversy and debate, as some people consider it a form of art and expression, while others see it as a sign of social decay and disorder. Recently, the deaths of three graffiti artists in London reignited the discussion over the artistic merit and legality of writing on walls. Graffiti can also be used as a tool of political protest or hate speech, as seen in the recent cases of antisemitic and anti-Russian graffiti in Paris. The distinction between unauthorized graffiti and wall art is ultimately up to the property owner and user. If they are unhappy with the graffiti, they will remove it. But how should they do it?
There are different methods of graffiti removal, but not all of them are effective or advisable. One of the most common methods is pressure washing, which involves using a high-pressure water jet to blast off the graffiti. However, this method has several drawbacks, such as:
- It can damage the surface being cleaned, especially if it is porous, painted, or delicate.
- It can leave behind residues, stains, or shadows of the graffiti, making it look worse than before.
- It can waste a lot of water and energy, increasing your costs and environmental impact.
- It can pose health and safety risks, such as injuries from the water jet, noise pollution, or chemical exposure.
A better approach to graffiti removal is using REACH compliant biodegradable products to dissolve the graffiti. REACH is a regulation of the European Union that aims to protect human health and the environment from the risks of chemicals. REACH compliant products are safe, effective, and eco-friendly. They work by breaking down the molecular bonds of the graffiti, making it easy to wipe off with a cloth or a brush.
Using REACH compliant biodegradable products to remove graffiti has several advantages, such as:
- It is gentle on the surface being cleaned, preserving its original appearance and quality.
- It does a better job of removing the graffiti, leaving no traces or marks behind.
- It is environmentally friendly, reducing water and energy consumption and preventing harmful chemicals from entering the soil or waterways.
It is safe and easy to use, requiring no heavy duty equipment
