Graffiti removal on natural stone

When cleaning natural stone façades, especially for graffiti removal, chemical cleaners should be avoided. Solvent-based products dissolve the paint pigments, which can then penetrate deep into the open pores of the stone rather than being removed from the surface.
This is especially problematic with porous stone types like sandstone, where paint can seep into the structure and cause permanent shadows that are difficult – or even impossible – to eliminate completely.
Why chemical-based graffiti removal is a bad idea
Gentle cleaning of sensitive stone surfaces – without chemicals
For residue-free and surface-friendly cleaning of natural stone, alternative methods are recommended – such as the dry, chemical-free vacuum blasting system from systeco, developed specifically for delicate and valuable surfaces.
Gentle Cleaning of Sensitive Stone Surfaces Without Chemicals
The Tornado ACS cleaning machine allows you to clean various types of natural stone reliably and in an environmentally friendly way.
For very hard stones, such as granite, all types of blasting media can be used. For softer stones, like sandstone or marble, only fine abrasives should be applied.
Even on delicate stone surfaces, proper use of the system ensures that the surface remains undamaged.
The Tornado ACS cleaning system is the ideal alternative to high-pressure cleaning and dry ice blasting when it comes to natural stone cleaning.
Performance & media recommendations
When removing graffiti from natural stone, you can achieve a surface performance of 2–3 m² per hour.
For light-colored natural stone, SG 150 glass media is used; for dark-colored stone, Asilit AS 180 is recommended.
Conclusion for professionals
Avoid chemical products when removing graffiti from natural stone.
Rely on eco-friendly, material-preserving cleaning technologies to prevent damage and maintain the original appearance and structure of the stone.
