Erase Graffiti Without Damaging Surfaces

Graffiti vandalism is a persistent problem for commercial property owners, building managers, and municipalities. Traditional removal methods like chemical strippers or pressure washing often damage the underlying surface or leave ghosting shadows behind.

Based in Chicago, Midwest Sandblasting specializes in professional graffiti removal using controlled blasting techniques. We bring mobile equipment directly to your location throughout Chicagoland and the Midwest—the same method employed by the City of Chicago's own graffiti removal program. We use gentle media like soda (baking soda) that lifts paint and ink without etching brick, stone, or concrete.

The result? Complete graffiti removal that restores your property to its original appearance, protecting your investment and neighborhood appeal. For Chicago neighborhood coverage and local project examples, see our Chicago Sandblasting page.

Why Soda Blasting for Graffiti Removal?

Non-Damaging

Baking soda is soft enough to remove paint without etching, pitting, or abrading delicate masonry surfaces.

Eco-Friendly

Sodium bicarbonate is non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe around people, plants, and waterways.

Water-Soluble

Easy cleanup—soda dissolves in water, so there's no hazardous media waste to dispose of after blasting.

City of Chicago Approved Method

The City of Chicago operates "Graffiti Blaster" trucks that use high-pressure soda blasting to remove graffiti from brick and stone throughout the city. We use this proven, effective approach for commercial properties.
