Cleaning Your Aluminum Signage

After you read this article, you will know:

* The simple key to extending the life of your custom aluminum signs by years
* What happens to an aluminum sign that is neglected and what you can do about it
* How to clean your aluminum sign and how often to do so to make sure that it looks brand—new for years to come

You want your aluminum sign to last as long as possible — after all, why go through the procedure of creating and ordering an aluminum sign all over again?

The single best way to make your aluminum sign last is by cleaning it 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 aluminum signs are 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 sign is the key to making it last years longer. If you neglect to clean your aluminum 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 ruin your sign.

Picture your car sitting by the side of the road for a year — or even six months. How would it look? It would be splattered with mud, covered in bird poop and caked with dirt and grime. Now, if your aluminum sign looked like that do you think people would pay attention to it? Maybe, but not in a good way.

So what should you use to clean your aluminum 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 erode 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, steering clear of paper towels, which can be too rough.

That's all it takes!

So protect your investment by cleaning it regularly. Your aluminum 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 ensure that your sign is bright, appealing and attractive.

...So remember: Clean aluminum signs last longer!
