Your business signage is an investment in your brand’s visibility and reputation. Whether it’s your storefront signs or office displays, all signs require regular maintenance to ensure they remain attractive, legible and durable after installation.
Proper cleaning and periodic inspections can significantly extend the lifespan of your signage and maximize your investment.
Dusting & Wiping – Regularly dust or wipe indoor signage with a microfiber cloth to prevent dirt accumulation.
Mild Cleaning Solution – Use a mix of mild soap and water to clean surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch or fade signage.
Check for Smudges & Fingerprints – Especially important for high-traffic areas, clean fingerprints from glossy surfaces for a polished look.
Remove Loose Dirt & Debris – Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt, dust or cobwebs.
Rinse & Clean Thoroughly – Use non-abrasive cleaning products and rinse with water to prevent residue build-up.
Electrical Component Care – If your sign has lighting, turn off the power before cleaning and ensure all electrical components remain dry.
Check for Fading – Sun exposure can cause colors to fade. If noticeable, consider applying a UV-protective coating or replacing faded sections.
Look for Peeling or Cracking – Vinyl and painted signs may peel or crack over time. Promptly address these issues to prevent further deterioration.
Ensure Mounting Stability – Check that the sign is securely mounted. Loose screws, bolts or adhesives can lead to damage or safety hazards.
Inspect Lighting Elements – If your sign is illuminated, look for flickering lights or burnt-out bulbs and replace them as needed.
Monitor Moisture & Mold – Especially for outdoor signage, check for water damage, mold, or rust, which can degrade the material.
Schedule Routine Cleanings – A consistent cleaning schedule prevents long-term damage and maintains visibility.
Use Proper Cleaning Supplies – Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip coatings or cause discoloration.
Keep a Maintenance Log – Document inspections, repairs and cleaning dates to track the longevity of your signage.
