Removing Graffiti the Right Way


Removing Graffiti
Industrial pressure washers have made life easier for contractors, municipal workers, and anybody responsible for maintenance of public spaces. Prior to the use of pressure washers, undiluted acid was the most common way to remove graffiti. Today, workers use industrial pressure washers to clean walls, doors, concrete constructions, pavement, and stairways.

Graffiti removal is difficult because paint, grease, and other chemicals used for creating graffiti adhere to the surface and cannot be dislodged easily. Using paint thinners is not recommended because it damages painted surfaces. Repainting the wall is costly to do every time. Therefore, industrial pressure washers are the most convenient method for cleaning concrete, wood, brick, stone, granite, steel, and similar surfaces.

Keep the following points in mind when purchasing industrial pressure washers. First, the machine should be powerful enough to remove the graffiti from the surface. Daimer® retails pressure washers with pressure levels ranging from 750 psi to 8000 psi. All surfaces may not be able to withstand very high pressure, which is why Daimer® offers graffiti-removing machines with such a large range of pressure levels.

Second, select industrial pressure washers equipped with tri-mode temperature levels. Stubborn graffiti is often difficult to remove without heated machines. With tri-mode pressure washers, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 12200, the operator can adjust the temperature level from non-heated, hot water (210°F), and steam (330°F). This also makes these machines versatile for other cleaning applications.
