Cleaning Acrylic Logo Signs

Washing The Acrylic Logo Sign

The best way to clean acrylic logo signs is with clean, lukewarm water and a clean, soft, nonabrasive, non-linting cloth. If the sign is large and located out of reach, you can use a pressure washer instead.  Mild soap or detergent can be mixed with the lukewarm water when necessary.

Drying The Acrylic Sign

For a streak-free sign, dry with a clean, dry soft cloth.  Gently blotting the sign with the cloth is the safest way to ensure a beautiful result. For signs that cannot be easily reached, you can simply allow the sign to air dry.

Signs That Need More Than Soap and Water

If your sign has a more stubborn cleaning problem, you can purchase cleaning agents designed specifically for acrylic. Make sure to double-check that any cleaner you purchase, other than a mild soap or detergent, is safe to use on acrylic. These products are specially designed to clean, polish or buff acrylic and can be found at your local hardware store or online.  Follow the directions on the product, use soft clean cloths, and your acrylic logo sign should continue to look as clean and brilliant as the day you bought it.

What Are Acrylic Signs

Acrylic signs are made from a glossy finished plastic sheet known by the trademark, Plexiglass.

  • Menu boards
  • Directional and informational signs

Ideas

You can enhance the visibility of your acrylic signs in the following ways:

  • Using non-glare acrylic to reduce glare problems
  • Using multiple layers of acrylic to enhance the image
  • Using bent easels
  • Incorporating a logo or graphic symbol
  • Designing custom applications
  • Creating a three-dimensional effect—giving the perception of depth to the finished product—using clear acrylic and applying a background color to the reverse side
  • Applying multiple lettering colors
  • Adding stripes and borders

Installation Methods

  • Using Velcro®
  • Using double-sided tape
  • Self-supporting (bent easel)

Maintenance

  • Use acrylic signs for long-term indoor use or for short-term outdoor use in areas protected by overhangs or awnings. (This does not apply to acrylic used in light box signs)
  • Handle acrylic signs with care because acrylic scratches easily and can shatter or chip upon impact
  • Do not leave acrylic in direct sun or in a hot car; it may bow or bend if not laying flat.

Removing Nicotine From Vinyl Signs
Written by Craig B

Removing Nicotine From Vinyl Signs

It can be difficult to completely remove nicotine from vinyl signs. For a chemical-free approach, the best cleaner for nicotine on the sign is a solution of half vinegar and half water. When cleaning nicotine stains, the vinegar can also help to neutralize the lingering odor. Spray the vinegar solution and let it sit for several seconds before wiping it clean with a damp cloth. It can take several applications to complete. The best cleaner for nicotine on vinyl signs from a commercial standpoint is a product containing trisodium phosphate, or TSP. TSP is a general-purpose cleaner found in most home improvement stores.

Before cleaning the sign, put a tarp down on the floor to protect it from drips. It’s also a good idea to don cleaning gloves, as TSP can irritate the skin.

To remove nicotine from signs, follow the directions on the label for the proper amount of water to cleaner ratio. Dip a sponge or scrub brush in the cleaning solution and wipe or scrub until the stain disappears. It may take several passes for stains that are building up over time. Rinse the sponge in clean water and wipe the area clean of the cleanser.

It may not be possible to remove nicotine from signs that are too far gone, and they may have to be replaced.
