Tips for cleaning your business sign

Cleaning is a task that few people enjoy, but that has to be done – and this includes your business sign. There will be times when it has to be cleaned if you want it to present a positive image of your company – and here are some tips for smart sign cleaning.

Use the right substances

The best solutions to use for cleaning a sign are warm water and either liquid detergent or gentle soap. Should something a little more powerful be needed for getting the sign clean, make sure to look at the label of the product to see if it is suitable for the sign’s material.

Apply a soft touch

The cloth that you use to wash down the sign should be a soft rather than an abrasive one. You should also apply a gentle touch when wiping with it, as you do not want to damage the sign material. Wash it down thoroughly first with the soap or detergent, and then give it a second wipe using clean water. This will help prevent streaks appearing on the sign as it dries.

Pressure washer

Some business signs are attached to walls at a height, making cleaning by hand difficult. If this applies to your sign, the best option will be to use a pressure washer.

Make sure to put this on a low setting, so the water pressure does not lead to your sign getting damaged.
