Cities & Government

1

Unless cities budget for it with a dedicated program, it will never be eradicated. It is no longer possible to avoid this fact. A ‘Clean City’ levy of less than $1 per household per month will easily fund this as well as provide cleaner facilities parks and playgrounds for the community to enjoy.

Do not think of it as a menial cleaning type job. Skilled technicians are called upon to repair damaged property on anything and everything without trace. They must be skilled and have a good sense of detailed workmanship.

World’s Best have this proven system. We’ve spent 40 years developing products that are fast, effective and safe to use and we’re passionate about seeing you succeed.

If your local area has been continually vandalized over several years it is most likely you will achieve nothing in this quest as most vandals are no longer active. Save this for police/prosecution purposes once you are graffiti free.

The might include skate parks, restrooms, and any known ‘vandal haunts’. Remember, tagging is a ‘Fame Game’. By eradicating it as it occurs we are deflating the vandals spirit, especially when removal are done right as though they were never there.

This can be obstructive, difficult to enforce and results in punishing the victim of graffiti rather than the perpetrator. It also undermines a citywide strategy which should be PROACTIVE rather than REACTIVE.

Do not leave it to other utilities. Do not leave any really obvious graffiti. At first, just clean to ‘drive-by’ standard…i.e. not visible as one would drive through any areas. You can always go back later and fine tune any removals.

While keeping a daily check on the main streets. Clean some areas twice daily if needed. Remember it’s a proactive approach not a reactive one (unless you need to attend to an particularly offensive graffiti incident).

Until well after you have attained “Graffiti Free” status. Art programs performed during clean up campaigns involving aerosol art tend to lower the morale of those responsible for removing graffiti as well as sending out a mixed message to vandals that it is okay to put spray can paint on some walls but not others.

This definitely works and is not expensive. The consequent increase in property values and reduction in related crime through a cleaner city will ensure that property rates collected will pay for this ongoing program at no additional cost to the community.
