Does your facility have a problem with gum and graffiti? If the answer is yes then Duplex has the graffiti remover solution for you!
Graffiti, when not planned and approved of, is one of the most visible of all crime and disorder problems that may occur in a community, even the best looking architecture can be rendered ugly with a polka dot covering of chewing gum or unsightly scrawling of graffiti tags. On a yearly basis, it is estimated that the cost for cleaning up graffiti in the UK comes in at well over £1 billion. The London Underground alone has shared that it can cost up to £10m a year to replace all the glass etched with graffiti and £2.5m to clean up other forms of graffiti within their properties and on the trains.
When there is gum and graffiti, we all suffer.
As well as being ugly, both are also bad for the environment and our health: Graffiti overall is toxic for the environment and emits fumes into the air that promote global warming and although the actual paint in the cans is not healthy for our environment, the cleaning substances used to clean the paint off the walls can also be extremely harmful.
Then we have gum. As well as being a vector for infections and disease, it is worth remembering that most traditional gum is made up of a form of plastic, and as such chewing gum doesn’t biodegrade. It can take a huge 25 years for gum to decompose naturally, causing untold and long-lasting environmental harm, both on land and when it makes its way into aquatic ecosystems.
