((•)) Hear This Text


After reading this article, you will know:
*      The simple key to extending the life of your custom outdoor signs by years
*      What happens to an outdoor sign that is neglected and how to avoid those problems
*      How to clean your outdoor sign and how often to do so to make sure that it looks brand-new for many years to come.

You spent time and money creating the perfect outdoor sign and you want to make sure it lasts as long as possible.

The number one way to make your outdoor sign last is by cleaning it regularly.

So how often is "regularly?" It's not like you have to take a giant power washer to your sign daily. But, like cars, signs get dirty just sitting in one place. Think about it. Your outdoor sign is 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.

Repeatedly cleaning your outdoor signs is the key to making it last years longer. If you neglect to clean your outdoor 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.

How would it look? It would be splashed with mud, covered in bird poop and caked with dirt and grime. Now, if your outdoor signage 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 outdoor sign?

Don't use anything stronger, as it could easily corrode the sign materials. Simply wipe your sign gently, being sure to get in the small crevices and corners. And be sure to use a very soft cotton towel, instead of paper towels, which can be too rough.

Do you have vinyl lettering or vinyl graphics on your 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 protect your investment by cleaning it regularly. Your 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 signage is bright, appealing and attractive.
