The Benefits of Graffiti Power Washing
It might be upsetting to step outside in the morning and discover graffiti on your property. It frequently looks bad and can seriously harm materials like brick and stucco. Knowing to spend money on the correct tools can save you money should the vandals strike again before you employ a cleaning agency. You may swiftly restore the appearance of your vandalized walls by using a pressure washer. It’s best to avoid using chemicals whenever you can.
Graffiti can sometimes be eliminated by high pressure spray alone, which is preferable because some surfaces may be too delicate for chemicals to work on. Before pressure washing the graffiti, you occasionally might need to use chemicals to help release it. It will be far more difficult to remove graffiti with just water pressure if it has been embedded in the surface for a period of time longer than a few days.
To prevent pushing the chemicals into the surface and causing stains, lower your pressure washer’s PSI to about 80 psi when applying the chemicals. Low pressure is best so that the chemicals can only be applied to the graffiti’s exterior surface. After using these substances and giving them some time to work, you can pressure wash with a greater PSI to remove the undesirable artwork.
A 3000 psi pressure washer with a 5 gpm flow rate and the ability to heat water to roughly 190 degrees is ideal for removing graffiti as effectively as possible.

The Steps We Take For Power Washing Graffiti
If handled incorrectly, a pressure washer can be a dangerous equipment. Additionally, pay attention to the surface you’re cleaning. Some surfaces are softer than others, and using the wrong pressure washer settings or nozzles can harm the surface you’re washing. Finally, be aware that there are a variety of pressure washer accessories and attachments that might hasten the completion of your project.
Here are things to know about our professional graffiti power washing services:
Hot vs Cold
Cleaning with hot water is more efficient than with cold. The chemistry contains it. When water is administered, the heat’s energy helps break up chemical connections in the substances, making it easier to wash them off. Cold water also functions. Washing can be accomplished with just the force of the water.
Start Low
The majority of graffiti removal projects may be completed with pressure washers that can wash at 1000–3500 PSI. Start out with a lower PSI setting every time. By doing so, you can determine whether the water pressure is appropriate for use.
How We Start
The first step is to spray the area with a graffiti cleaning solution. Prior to wiping, give the solvent one or two minutes to release the graffiti. You might need to give it a good scrub depending on the surface.
Different Surfaces
Wood and other delicate surfaces need to be handled with extra care. (Overall, we discover that harder surfaces receive graffiti or are tagged more frequently than softer ones.)
What to Expect
Graffiti removal may leave a ghost or shadow of the original. The unbonded pigment that was attached to the base material is what gives the impression of what was just removed. It will eventually oxidize and vanish.
