Before and After Using Soda

This wall had been painted over after conventional sandblasting failed to remove graffiti.

Soda removed the paint, the graffiti and cleaned the damaged brick faces.

The picture below shows the painted surface to be cleaned in the upper right one third of the picture. The soda cleaned brick is in the upper left one third of the picture. The original surface of the wall is the bottom one third of the picture. The whole wall will be cleaned and renovated with soda.

You will note the surface degradation to the middle brick that resulted from the abrasiveness of normal sandblasting which is why the owner decided to paint over the graffiti rather than destroy the look of the wall.

Graffiti Removal

Note the 1 square foot area of paint removed in the upper left-hand corner. The graffiti was removed from the painted surface leaving the original painted surface underneath intact.
