Product & Care

How should I clean my house sign? +
Gently wipe your sign with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, bleach, or strong cleaning products, as these may damage the surface, finish, or printed details.

Yes, our house signs are designed for outdoor use and made to withstand normal weather conditions. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat, heavy storms, saltwater, or harsh environmental conditions may affect the sign over time.
