Why Traditional Cleaning Fails

City maintenance teams often rely on high-pressure washing or chemical solvents. However, these methods have critical downsides:

  • Escalating labor and equipment costs due to repeated cleaning.
  • Damage to the original surface material (substrate).
  • The "Broken Windows Theory" effect: Cleaned walls get tagged again within days.
