Cleaning for Your Business Sign

You invested money on your business sign and its paid off. But you want that investment to continue paying off, right? You want your business sign to last for years to come.

The number one way to make your business signs last is by cleaning them regularly.

So how often is "regularly?" You don't have to spend hours scrubbing your sign every day. But, like cars, signs get dirty just sitting around. Think about it. Your outdoor sign is attacked daily by things like dirt, harsh winds, rain, mud, even bird poop! A regular monthly cleaning will help to return your sign to the bright, polished beacon it should be.

Repeatedly cleaning your signage is the key to making it last years longer. If you neglect to clean your business sign every month, dirt and grime will build up...
...And buildup makes it almost impossible to clean your sign without using something so strong that it will destroy your sign. Picture your car sitting by the road for a year — or even six months. What would it look like? It would be splashed with mud, covered in bird poop and caked with dirt and grime. Now, if your business sign looked like that do you think anyone would pay attention to it? Maybe, but not in a good way.

So what should you use to clean your business signage?

Slightly soapy water is all you need to keep your sign looking bright and shiny. Don't use anything stronger, as it could easily corrode the sign materials. Simply wipe your sign softly, making sure not to miss the small crevices and corners. And remember to use a very soft cotton towel, steering clear of paper towels, which can be too rough.

Do you have vinyl lettering or graphics on your business's doors or windows? For vinyl graphics, Windex is safe to use. Just be gentle. And don't use it on decals — Windex is for vinyl graphics only.

That's all it takes!

So care for your investment by cleaning it regularly. Your business sign is there to make you money, but you'll just end up spending more to replace it if you neglect it for too long. Just fifteen minutes once a month will guarantee that your signage is bright, appealing and attractive.

...So remember: A clean sign lasts longer!
