Standoffs can last you a long time and help your signs look great for many years to come if you care for them properly. Since they are small, you don’t have to do much. You won’t find the job to be too cumbersome. However, consistency is key to keep your standoffs looking their best and to prevent any damage, such as rust.
Here are a few things you can do to care for your standoffs:
Keep Them Dry
This should be a relatively easy thing to do, unless your business involves a lot of water work, such as a cleaning company or car wash. Water can contribute to rust or other damage to your sign or standoffs over time. Keep the signs out of the splash zone, or make sure you wipe them down quickly if they are exposed to water.
Dust Them
Dust may seem like a minor issue, but it can lead to major problems over time. Dust can mix with other oil and dirt and contribute to the breakdown of your standoffs or signage. Just take a feather duster over the sign and the standoffs at least once a week. You can also use a soft cloth to get the job done.
Polish Them
Standoffs have a beautiful finish that can contribute to the overall look of your sign. To keep the finish looking clean and shiny, you need to polish them regularly. Use a cream polish that is designed for metal, and apply it with a soft cloth. Polish your standoffs about once a month or as needed.
Caring for your standoffs doesn’t take a lot of time or effort. However, taking these simple steps can help you to keep your standoffs looking great, which will also make your signs look great.
