How To Extend the Life of Your Aluminum Signage

After reading this article, you will know:

* The simple secret to extending the life of your custom aluminum signs by years
* What happens to an aluminum sign that is neglected and how to avoid those problems
* How to clean your aluminum sign and how often to do so to ensure that it looks brand—new for many years to come

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

The single best way to make your aluminum sign last is by cleaning it regularly.

What 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 aluminum signs are bombarded daily with 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 road for a year — or even six months. What would it look like? It would be splattered with mud, covered in bird poop and caked with dirt and grime. Now, if your aluminum signage 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 aluminum sign?

Slightly soapy water is all you need to make sure your sign looks 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, instead of paper towels, which can be too rough.

That's all it takes!

So care for 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!
