Acrylic wedding sign care FAQ

How do I clean my acrylic wedding sign?

Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with lukewarm water. Dampen a clean microfiber cloth (not paper towels—they can scratch) and gently wipe the surface in straight lines. Rinse with a separate damp cloth and dry immediately with a fresh microfiber cloth to avoid water spots.

What should I avoid when cleaning?

Never use ammonia-based cleaners (like Windex), alcohol, acetone, or abrasive scrubbing pads. These cause cloudiness, cracks, or surface dullness. Also avoid wiping in circles, which can trap grit and create fine scratches. Stick to soap and water only.

How do I remove stubborn smudges or fingerprints?

For dried-on marks, let the soapy water sit on the spot for 30 seconds before wiping. For grease or adhesive residue, use a tiny amount of isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber cloth—test on a hidden corner first, then wipe gently and rinse with water immediately. Test any solvent on a small area first.

How should I store my acrylic sign after the wedding?

Place the sign flat on a clean, soft surface (like a felt blanket or bubble wrap). Cover it with another soft layer to prevent dust and scratches. Store in a cool, dry room away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures—heat can warp acrylic over time. Never store acrylic on its edge; always lay it flat.

Can I use a protective spray or coating?

Avoid anti-static sprays or furniture polishes—they often contain silicones that leave a film. Instead, a simple microfiber cloth and soap routine is all you need. If you want extra protection, consider a dedicated acrylic polish designed for signage, but it's rarely necessary for occasional display. Skip the sprays unless you have a specific need.
