Challenges of Graffiti Removal

July 23, 2021

Graffiti vandalism is everywhere, making graffiti removal a must for many businesses and public works departments. You can find graffiti on school buildings, public transit, commercial buildings, industrial parks, park benches, trucks, and much more throughout the country. Graffiti can damage an area’s image, lower property values, and drive away business. Removing the graffiti can be challenging, with many solutions being ineffective, costly, and time-consuming. Green Way Products formulated Bitu-Ox™ Bio NT to solve these issues and make graffiti and paint removal efficient and user-friendly.

One of the ways that property owners and municipalities have responded to graffiti is by painting over the vandalism. Simply painting over graffiti is not always a practical or appealing option, with a lot of graffiti found on concrete or brick structures. When a historic building or architectural design is painted over, the value and aesthetics diminish.

Another method that property owners use to remove graffiti is sandblasting. Sandblasting, also called abrasive blasting, is the process of cleaning and smoothing a surface by spraying solid particles at a high velocity using compressed air. This method of graffiti removal is expensive, messy, and dangerous for workers. Abrasive blasting isn’t ideal for all surfaces and can end up damaging the building. The process leaves behind a messy sand residue which requires even more clean-up.

With painting over and sandblasting graffiti being inefficient and ineffective options, many public works departments and property owners turn to cleaning solutions for graffiti removal. Many paint removal cleaning products can be ineffective and damaging to the environment, but Bitu-Ox™ Bio NT is a superior solution for graffiti removal. This industrial-strength paint and graffiti cleaner is designed to break down tough stains and eliminate graffiti on contact. While many cleaners contain toxic chemicals that can pollute the environment, run off into storm drains, and contaminate drinking water, Bitu-Ox™ Bio NT is derived from renewable resources and certified biodegradable and waterway safe*. With just a few sprays, graffiti will begin to drip away. You can even use Bitu-Ox™ Bio NT in a power washer for highly effective results for more challenging jobs!
