Step-by-Step: Cleaning Entrance & Signage
1. Tidy the Entrance Area
Sweep leaves, trash, and debris from walkways and door area.
Empty outdoor trash bins.
Remove gum or sticky residues with a scraper and degreaser.
2. Clean the Door and Windows
Wipe down the door (handle, glass, frame) with soapy water or glass cleaner.
Disinfect high-touch areas like door handles and push bars.
Polish metal components if needed.
4. Clean Exterior Signage
Use a soft brush or microfibre cloth to dust the sign.
For mounted or high signs, use a ladder and gentle soapy water or a long-handled brush.
Rinse with clean water or a low-pressure hose.
Use glass cleaner for illuminated/plastic signs.
Dry with a soft towel to avoid water spots.
Tip: For heavily soiled signs, use a degreaser or diluted vinegar. Avoid abrasive tools that could scratch the surface.
5. Lighting Check (Optional)
Wipe down any outdoor light fixtures.
Replace any dim or burned-out bulbs.
Make sure signage is properly illuminated if lit at night.
Pro Tips
Clean signage and entrances 2–3 times per week (more if on a busy street).
Avoid using high-pressure water directly on electrical or backlit signs.
Keep landscaping neat (bushes, planters, etc.) it's part of the entrance!
