Even in this century, there are people who are still very malicious. They will never allow your wall to remain clean as it should. It is commonly known as vandalism, where writings or drawings are made on your wall without your consent. It is normally very irritating. Once the same has been sabotaged, you cannot get angry and leave it at that. You will be expected to take a step and restore things in the right order. When it comes to graffiti removal, there are various methods you can employ depending on the type of the wall.

Vandalism can be done on different surfaces. It could be done on stone walls, metallic sheets, window panes or wooden surfaces. It is always best to clean the surface within the first twenty-four hours of scribbling. Within this period, it is easier to wipe away simply the scribbles gently without scrubbing the surface hard. This will ensure that you do not deform it.

It is important to estimate the area that has been vandalized. You will find that a large area may pose a great challenge if you decide to clean it. An alternative method of removing the scribbles is to paint the entire area that is affected as this will be easier compared to cleaning the same area. Note that before you apply the paint, you will need to wash the entire area you intend to paint to ensure that you have removed any dirt which could otherwise affect the intended results.

If you find out that the affected area has been scratched deeply or dented, painting, in this case, may not be the best way to correct the mess fully. You will need to go an extra mile and repair any breakages or fill up the dented areas to ensure that the surface is regular and smooth before painting. The material you use to fill the dents should rhyme with the rest of the wall to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

For the case of brick made walls, there are specific chemicals used for the removal of the same. However, this can be dangerous considering that they emit some toxic substances that are harmful to your health. When they apply it, it does not take more than 15 minutes, after which they wash with a lot of water for efficient results.

Glass walls are very attractive. In most cases, people with marker pens will tend to write on them. If the affected area is not so large, you could use a razor blade to scrub it off. When you have to use chemicals like lacquer, though, it is good that you remain very careful because they are harmful.

While purchasing the chemicals, you need to be careful. Some are highly inflammable. You may need to engage the professionals on how to handle them. In fact, this is the best way to go to get the best results. If mishandled they can cause more danger.

The regular occurrence of vandalism may demand the bringing on board of security personnel to keep watch on your property. You may also advise them to catch the culprits who will help you pursue justice. Having this points at your fingertips, you will find it easier to correct any mess committed by vandals.
