Care & Use of the Aluminum Signs

While our aluminum signs are built to be durable and weatherproof, their outdoor placement means they can accumulate dirt and grime over time. To extend the lifespan of your custom printed signs, we recommend cleaning them regularly (every few weeks). Without regular maintenance, dirt and grime may build up and become harder to remove.

Washing your signs

• Use mild soapy water and a soft cloth to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the print and Coating lamination.
