How to Remove Graffiti from Portable Toilets

Option 1: Graffiti Removal Chemicals

Graffiti remover comes in aerosol cans as a spray or in liquid form.

Step 1: Apply the graffiti remover to the affected area.

Step 2: Let sit for the amount of time specified on the container.

Step 3: Wipe away with a rag, or rinse with water.

Step 4: Repeat Steps 1-3 as necessary until the graffiti has been fully removed.

Option 2: Grit

An alternative method and one to consider for extra-tough removal jobs is to incorporate grit, which has particles small enough to penetrate the microscopic indentations found in the walls.

Step 1: Add sand or pumice powder to your graffiti removal chemical or other cleaning agent.

Step 2: Use a scrubbing brush to clean the affected area.

Step 3: Rinse with water.

Step 4: Repeat Steps 1-3 as necessary until the graffiti has been fully removed

* Note: This cleaning method may leave scratch marks on the walls. To repair, use a heat gun or torch to slightly melt the plastic of the scratched area. Once complete, the treated area should return to close to the original color and texture.
