How To Maintain Custom Wall Graphics In St. Louis, MO
Generally, there are two ways to go about maintaining your custom wall graphics: do-it-yourself (DIY) or go pro by setting up a sign maintenance schedule with our team.
Only you can choose what works best for you, but whatever you pick, Horizon Sign Company is here to help. Get in touch with our team to set up your custom wall graphic maintenance schedule, or use the following instructions to do-it-yourself:
- To hand-wash custom wall graphics, start by rinsing the surface with clean water to remove loose dirt particles, then use a mild liquid detergent and water solution to wash with a soft brush, rag, or sponge, avoiding any excess “elbow grease” or unnecessary scrubbing. Once cleaned, rinse thoroughly with clean water, then allow the custom wall graphic to dry naturally.
- Automatic brush washing may be used, however improper technique can dull the finish of the graphic or cause edges to lift. If possible, consult with your local custom wall graphics specialist before you fire up the automatic brushes.
- For custom wall graphics with a protective overlaminate, use a cleaner designed specifically for high-quality painted surfaces. It should be wet, non-abrasive, free of strong solvents, and neither strongly acidic nor strongly alkaline, with a pH value between 3 and 11.
- For digitally printed custom wall graphics with a clear coat, use a wet, non-abrasive solution free of solvents and alcohol, with a pH value between 3 and 11.
- For matte, textured, or other unique finishes, take special care to avoid abrading or scratching your custom wall graphics during cleaning. Contact your local sign specialist for more help selecting the proper tools, cleaning solutions, and techniques for your particular product.
- To power wash custom wall graphics, make sure the spray nozzle is set to a 40-degree wide spray pattern; keep the maximum pressure below 1200 psi; do not exceed temperatures of 140°F (60°C); hold the nozzle perpendicular to the graphic and at least 12 inches away; and do not direct the water stream between 0°-60° to the edge of the graphic.
- Do not apply wax, polish, paint, or clear coat, as these can seriously damage your custom wall graphics.
