How to Get Graffiti Off Cement

Graffiti adds colorful art and words to an exterior wall, but may be unwanted if it defaces buildings, creating a visual nuisance for the building and surrounding area. Painting over graffiti can get expensive and time-consuming, but through meticulous scrubbing, graffiti can be removed to return a wall to its previous state.

Instructions

    • 1

      Apply extra strength paint remover to a wire brush.

    • 2

      Scrub the wall, using the wire brush, covering every spot where the graffiti is located.

    • 3

      Allow the pain remover to set for 10 to 15 minutes after you have scrubbed every part that has graffiti. This gives the paint remover time to activate.
