How to care for design signs: simple tips

Good design signs are not just functional elements of a space, but also an important detail that emphasizes the status and style of your business. This is especially true for items such as custom door plates, which are the first things your customers see. However, like any high-quality product, they require proper care. Did you know that incorrect cleaning can result in loss of shine or even damage to the material?

In this article, we describe how to take care of wood, acrylic, and stainless steel signs to keep them in flawless condition for years. By following these tips, you'll not only preserve their appearance but also extend their lifespan.

Why sign maintenance matters

Even the finest signs can lose their charm over time if not cared for properly. Dust, dirt, and even contact with indoor air can gradually leave micro-scratches, dull the colors, and, as a result, reduce their aesthetic appeal. This is critical for business signs, as they are often the first touchpoint for clients at your entrance. And there are no trifles here — everything forms the visual identity of the brand.

Aesthetic signs go beyond mere functionality. They are part of the interior aesthetics, complementing the overall design and enhancing the space's positive impact on visitors. From the placement and color palette to the material selection, every aspect matters. Therefore, signs made from high-quality materials like wood, acrylic, and stainless steel deserve as much care as premium furniture or lighting fixtures.

Interior designers working with hotels, restaurants, and office spaces know that functional design doesn’t have to be boring. On the contrary, the smallest details can play a decisive role. Custom signs that correspond to the overall concept of the brand and go through design process steps — from idea to implementation — help to personalize the space.

It’s essential to remember that the visibility, style, and cleanliness of a sign aren’t just about convenience. They reflect the identity of brands that prioritize attention to every detail of customer interaction. Therefore, regular sign cleaning is not only about hygiene or maintenance, but about consistency in caring for the image.

Examples of establishments that choose signs made of stainless steel, acrylic, or wood show that when details are thoughtfully placed, the space feels complete and cohesive.

High-quality materials: wood, acrylic, steel

Wooden signage: naturalness and delicacy

Wooden signs add a warm, organic touch to modern interiors. However, wood is sensitive to moisture and temperature changes. Avoid wiping it with a wet cloth or using abrasive cleaning products.

Acrylic signs: brilliance of modernity

Modern acrylic signs stand out for their elegance and minimalistic appeal. However, acrylic is a delicate material that scratches easily, so it requires gentle handling.

Stainless steel signs: durability and status

Stainless steel signs are the choice for those who value longevity and a premium look. While highly resistant to moisture, they tend to collect fingerprints, requiring regular polishing.

Practical tips for signage maintenance and cleaning

Each material has its unique characteristics, and using the right care techniques helps maintain a premium look and lasting functionality. Below are detailed tips for cleaning different types of signs.

How to clean stainless steel signs:

• Use specialized stainless steel wipes or a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water.
• Avoid powder-based detergents or metal sponges — they can leave scratches that diminish the aesthetic appeal of the signs.
• To restore shine, apply a steel polish using gentle circular motions.
• Stainless steel signs are easy to maintain in perfect condition even in high-traffic spaces.

How to clean acrylic signage:

• Use only soft microfiber cloths to prevent scratches. Avoid rough sponges, abrasive pastes, or harsh chemicals.
• Absolutely avoid alcohol-based solutions — they can leave stains and damage the material's structure.
• The safest choice is a cleaning product specifically designed for acrylic or plexiglass surfaces.

How to clean wood signs:

• Wipe wooden signs with a soft microfiber cloth dampened with room-temperature water.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, including alcohol-based solutions, as they dry out the wood surface.
• Periodically treat the surface with protective products for natural wood to prevent drying and cracking.

Top 5 Bsign bestsellers & how to care for them

We’ve got our own favorites — models that clients choose time and again. And each one calls for a slightly different approach to care. For instance, wooden number signs with acrylic digits look stunning in any interior but need delicate wiping with a dry microfiber cloth to preserve the natural wood texture and acrylic shine.

Interior acrylic signs are the choice for those who love minimalism and clear aesthetics. They remain flawless with regular cleaning using an anti-static spray for Plexiglas, which prevents dust buildup and stains.

For those seeking to highlight their brand’s status, we offer stainless steel signs with logos — they impress with their premium appearance. Maintaining this shine is simple; polish them monthly with a specialized product.

We also offer unique custom signs combining mixed materials — stylish blends of wood and acrylic. Here, combined care is key: dry cleaning for the wooden part and a damp cloth for the acrylic surface.

And for modern offices, signs in a minimalist style remain the ideal option. Their maintenance is incredibly simple — regular dusting to keep lines sharp and the impeccable look.

Each model has its own character, purpose, and cleaning approach. Yet they all share one trait: they are designed to elevate your brand’s image for years to come.

Conclusion: individual signs require an individual approach

Caring for signs isn’t complicated if you know the basics and choose the right cleaning methods for each material. Wood, acrylic, and stainless steel each have their own characteristics, but they all deserve a gentle, considered approach. After all, signs are those important design elements that form the first impression, create a user experience and enhance the visual language of your brand.

The quality of materials directly affects the service life of the product. At Bsign, we adhere to a simple yet effective principle: if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well. And when the foundation is strong, proper care helps maintain both aesthetic appeal and functionality for many years.
