Every surface is different so we are going to give you a general idea with the help from our friends at Clean Link.

Before Starting:

• Always make sure that it is YOUR responsibility to get the job cleaned up! Sometimes it is the responsibility of the state or even the facility’s maintenance department.
• Determine whether the graffiti is on the inside or the outside because there is a difference between the two.

Indoor Graffiti Removal:

Common causes of indoor graffiti include; ballpoint, felt-tip pens, pencils, knife blades and sometimes even white correction fluid is used

Some suggestions for products to clean different types of surfaces include:

• Ordinary cleaners and disinfectants will remove much pencil and some pen graffiti
• Citrus-based cleaners often will work on inks on wood surfaces
• Some foam and some paste cleaners, which remain in place until wiped off, work well on vertical surface
