With summer just around the corner, the Mt Washington, KY-based experts at Louisville Sign Company are reminding their clients that now is the time to give their business signs a good wash down. After all, winter gets messy. Whether from excessive rain, snow, or sleet, business signs and windows can accumulate layers of grime, and even grow mildew, during the colder season.

There’s not much you can do during consistently inclement weather, but when springtime arrives, it’s a great opportunity to finally renew your storefront. Are you wondering if it’s really worth it? Here’s a rundown of why this process is so important.

It Attracts Customers

Perhaps the most important reason you should wash your signs each spring is to give potential customers a positive impression of your company. Whether your business sign is directly attached to the building, or it’s a monument sign slightly farther away, cleaning it will show everyone in the area that you’re serious about your business. Plus, clean signs are more legible, making it easier for customers to see what you offer.

It’s Longer Lasting

Keeping your business sign clean will help it last longer by preventing premature corrosion (e.g., rust). Additionally, washing out dirt can prevent it from scratching up the paint or lettering. If you also keep your sign hardware (e.g., nails and screws) clean and tightened, you can ensure the installation remains stable, without wobbling or leaning.
