The Key to Lengthening the Lifespan of Your Business Sign

After reading this article, you will know:
*The simple key to extending the life of your custom business signs by years

*How to clean your business sign and how often to do so to ensure that it looks brand—new for many years to come

You invested money on your business sign and its paid off. But you want that investment to keep paying off, right? You want your business signage 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 in one place. 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.

Regularly cleaning your signage is the key to making it last years longer. If you neglect to clean your business sign from time to time, 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. How would it look? 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 people would pay attention to it? Maybe, but probably not in the way you were hoping for.

So what should you use to clean your business sign?

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

Do you have vinyl lettering or graphics on your business's windows or doors? 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 protect your investment by cleaning it regularly. Your business sign is supposed 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 sign is bright, appealing and attractive.

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