If your neon sign is in a public space, it’s important that it is well out of reach of people, much like the one in this example below.
Before commencing any kind of cleaning on your neon sign you need to make sure you switch it off and remove any connections to power. Generally speaking, the sign does not need switching off regularly, as this will wear out the neon transformer faster so although it might seem counterintuitive to not switch off your neon sign, it’s actually much more beneficial for the longevity of the sign.
Removing dust from your neon sign couldn’t be easier too, simply remove the sign from its wall fixings or hanging chains and lay it on a flat surface with the tubes facing upwards. The sign can then be wiped down with a dry duster or microfiber cloth.
Think! Standard cleaning products that you may use around your house or business cannot be used to clean the sign as they may damage the acrylic backing, casing and tubes. If necessary, stubborn stains can be wiped down using a damp cloth, but it is important to allow the neon tubes and casing to dry fully before switching the sign back on otherwise you could risk damaging the sign beyond repair!
It’s important to note that you should NEVER use ammonia on your neon sign!
