Removing graffiti

MRSTITTLEMOUSE

A friend has had a small amount of graffiti put on her outside wall.
It looks like spray paint.
She was away so did'nt see it until she came back and by then it was well and truly dry.
What if anything can she use to remove it.
Thanks.

What is it on? Brick, render, painted wall? If it's painted then best to repaint that section of wall.

If it's spray paint on a non-porous or painted surface, those white foam cleaning blocks, that you dip in water and rub on, will sometimes work.
JML (amongst others) sell them - not guaranteed but well worth a try if you have some lying around.

Unfortunatelly, brickwork is the hardest to get graffiti off. You can get a brick cleaner which is like an acid and bubbles up as you use it (Very bad for the skin and eyes so always use gloves and goggles) Problem is with this though you may end up with the graffiti patch looking way cleaner than the rest of the brick work. If you go down this route just try a little test patch first and make your own mind up.
Hope this helps

Contact your local council they usually do grafitti cleaning free of charge.

Depending on the type of brick, wire bruch and pressure washer may do the trick. Worth a try before going down the brick acid route.
