Abstract:
This paper reviews current knowledge and recent advances in methods of graffiti removal. Three
approaches were considered: chemical, physical (including laser) and biological. Findings concerning
the efficiency and effectiveness of the methods, including any damage to the substrate or other side
effects, are described. Emphasis is placed on the limitations of the reported methods. Finally, current
trends and improvements in graffiti removal methods towards the use of more efficient and less damaging
treatments are addressed.
