Dealing with graffiti on public benches can be frustrating, but with the right approach, you can restore them without harming the protective finish. First, identify the bench material—common types are powder-coated metal, treated wood, or composite. Always start with the gentlest method. For fresh spray paint, a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap applied with a soft cloth or sponge often works. Scrub gently in a circular motion. For more stubborn graffiti, use a specialized graffiti remover or a citrus-based solvent, but test it on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't discolor or etch the finish. Apply the product according to the manufacturer's instructions, let it dwell to break down the paint, then wipe or rinse with low-pressure water. Avoid harsh abrasives, steel wool, or high-pressure washers on coated surfaces, as they can strip the finish and make the bench more vulnerable. For persistent stains, repeating the process is better than aggressive scrubbing. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and consider applying a compatible protective sealant if recommended for the material. Regular, prompt cleaning makes removal easier and helps maintain your community's benches for everyone to enjoy.
