Graffiti is a form of artistic expression, but also can be a nuisance and even destructive. Whether it is scribbled on the wall, carved into stone, or spray painted onto furniture, writing needs to be removed. There are different techniques in removing graffiti depending on what type of surface it has been applied to. No one likes to see graffiti on a building, public or private. It lowers property values, plus the appearance is unsightly and often smears, scuffs and stains other structures, walkways and vehicles. The best cure for this plague is prevention, since once you have graffiti, it's extremely difficult to remove.
Graffiti removal is the action and process of removing graffiti, which can refer to drawings or tags (principally using spray paint), from surfaces such as walls and other public property. It is also known as defacing, or scratching. Graffiti removal is not the same as art restoration, although both may be achieved by using similar techniques.
