Vandalism Damage Tips
Vandalism is never pleasant when you find yourself on the receiving end, even if you know the attack on your property was not malicious. Just as it is true that quick, prompt action can minimize or even prevent permanent damage to you property, it is also true that wrong/delayed action can cause it.
More often than not, it is the best choice to leave it to the professionals to treat vandalism damage and graffiti damage. However, there are some things that we can recommend that you can do to prevent the damage caused by vandalism, such as:
- Hose down or wash egg damage from the building exterior as soon as possible
- Wipe up freshly spoiled food from carpets and fabrics with a dampened cloth or sponge (be careful to not over-wet, however!)
- Scrape and blot, don’t rub—rubbing can cause fuzzing or damage fibers
- Vacuum glass particles from carpets and upholstery
- Save containers which will reveal the composition of spilled inks, cosmetics, and paints—this information can save you both time and money later
There are also actions that we recommend you leave for the professionals to handle, such as:
- Attempting to remove ink, paint, or cosmetic stains
- Operate damaged lamps and other appliances
- Throw out wood chips, broken pieces from furniture, porcelain, or other objects
