Graffiti removal should never be lumped in with other cleanup work being done, otherwise the public is left with the visual scars of poor removal that often look worse than the original graffiti. A street corner can go from bad to worse even with good intentions.

What are the factors that determine whether graffiti removal will be visually successful?  Graffiti removal is a skill that takes time.  Everyone can remove graffiti, but not everyone can remove graffiti without damaging the surface.  Which product is best for which surface?  Is a pressure washer required?  Should I paint it over?  Will I leave a mark with the outline of the original graffiti?

Some Business Improvement Districts in Philadelphia offer “graffiti removal” lumped in with other cleanup services.  However, graffiti removal and street cleaning are two very different jobs requiring different knowledge bases and skill sets.  The results are seen in the pictures below and are often dissapointing.  Yes, graffiti was removed but does the corner look any better than before?
