The Best Practices for Cleaning Wooden Signs
Cleaning your hanging wooden signs is not complicated. Regular cleaning and maintenance will make these signs last longer, optimizing your investment.
Here are five tips on how to properly clean your wooden signs:
Dusting
The first step in maintaining wooden signs is regular dusting. It is good practice to prevent dust from collecting on your sign, especially as it can present an unsanitary image to customers. We recommend dusting your signs once every two weeks; depending on your environment and whether the sign is located indoors or outdoors, they may need dusting more frequently.
Use Gentle Cleaning Solutions
Once your signs are dust-free, you may clean them with a mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, and do not scrub them vigorously, as this could cause unnecessary damage. Cleaning in this fashion approximately once a month should be sufficient.
Different Finishes Require Different Care
Some wood finishes are better at repelling dust than others, so they do not require cleaning as often. A gloss or lacquer finish, for example, creates a smoother surface, meaning your signs will require less dusting and cleaning. Regardless of what type of finish your sign has, always make sure your sign is dust-free before cleaning it with soap and water.
Dry Your Signs with a Lint-Free Cloth
It is crucial to dry your signs to ensure the wood does not warp or react to it. Wiping them dry with a lint-free cloth should do the trick.
Regularly Inspect for Cracks
As wood react when it experiences pressure or drastic changes in temperature, it is possible for your sign to develop new cracks. If moisture gets into the crack of your signs, it can be a problem. Regularly inspect your signs for wear and tear or any cracking, and give us a call if you notice a new development.
