Steni has a partnership with Blue & Green AS, which develops and manufactures cleaning products for a wide variety of surfaces. The exact products you use depends on what has been used to mark the wall, and they are gentle both on cleaning personnel and on the environment.
“When removing graffiti, it is important to have knowledge of the type of surface you want to clean and what types of paint the taggers used,” says Bjørn Longva at PBT Sør-Øst AS, who warns against trying to remove graffiti without consulting a professional.
“It is important to understand exactly how it should be removed so that no dyes or binding agents are absorbed deeper into the materials. No matter what method or product you use, hot water is absolutely essential.”
In the video, Bjørn uses Graffiti Remover Red and Graffiti Remover Kilroy from Blue & Green AS. You can read more about these products here.
