You invested money on your business sign and its paid off. But you want that investment to keep paying off, right? You want your business sign to last for years to come.

The number one way to make your business 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 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, polished beacon it should be.

Regularly cleaning your sign is the key to making it last years longer. If you neglect to clean your business 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.
Imagine your car sitting by the side of 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 business sign 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 business signage?

Mildly soapy water is all you need to make sure your sign looks bright and shiny. Don’t use anything stronger, as it could easily erode the sign materials. Simply wipe your sign gently, making sure to get in the small crevices and corners. And be sure to use a very soft cotton towel, steering clear of paper towels, which can be too rough.

Do you have vinyl lettering or graphics on your business’s 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 care for your investment by cleaning it regularly. Your sign is supposed 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 guarantee that your sign is bright, appealing and attractive.

…So remember: A clean sign lasts longer!
