Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Routine cleaning prevents dirt and dust from dulling your graphics and helps avoid long-term damage. A well-maintained stand not only looks professional but also extends its lifespan, saving you money on replacements and repairs.

Gathering Your Cleaning Supplies

Before you start, assemble a soft microfiber cloth, mild soapy water (a drop of gentle dish soap in a bucket), a soft-bristle brush, and a gentle glass or plastic cleaner. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or fade your graphics.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1. Disassemble with Care: Lay out all panels and hardware on a clean, flat surface.

2. Dust First: Use a dry microfiber cloth to gently remove loose dust from frames and graphic panels.

3. Wash Panels: Dip the cloth in soapy water, wring it out, and wipe each graphic surface in straight strokes.

4. Rinse and Dry: Wipe again with a cloth dampened in clean water, then dry thoroughly to prevent streaks.

Cleaning the Graphic Panels

For stubborn marks (like scuffs from transport), lightly scrub with a soft-bristle brush and soapy water. Never use bleach or solvents. If your panels have a glossy finish, follow up with a plastic-safe cleaner to restore shine.

Maintaining the Hardware

Check connectors, poles, and joints for signs of wear or loosening. Tighten screws by hand—over-tightening can strip threading. Apply a tiny dab of silicone lubricant to moving parts to ensure smooth assembly next time.

Protecting Your Investment

Store your panels flat or in a dedicated carry case to prevent bends and creases. Keep hardware sorted in labeled pouches so you’ll never misplace parts when packing up after an event.

Quick Tips for On-the-Go Touch-Ups

• Carry a small spray bottle of distilled water and a microfiber cloth for spills.

• Keep a mini tool kit (screwdriver, Allen keys) in your event bag.

• Stash spare graphic clips to swap out any damaged fasteners instantly.

Choose biodegradable soaps and reuse your cleaning cloths. Stand Banner supports green cleaning practices that protect both your displays and the planet.
