Investing in custom vinyl banners for your business comes with a wide range of benefits but to make the most of them, proper maintenance is a must. If this is the first time you are using banners and not sure about how to keep them looking new, you need not worry. 

Longevity of vinyl banners:

Most vinyl banners last about two to ten years or more. However, various factors may determine the life of the banner, such as cleaning, storage, and the mode of transportation. Remember that even a small thing, such as removing its wrinkle may affect the longevity greatly. Therefore, you need to address the common issues and need to let you know the correct method to care for the vinyl banner. Here is how you need to get rid of wrinkles.

• If you notice wrinkles on the vinyl banner, there is no need to fret as the problem will go with ease.
• You can place the banner under the sun to get rid of wrinkles but remember to remove it after thirty minutes.
• The excessive heat of the sun removes the wrinkles and creases.
• You can place the banner on a flat surface and use a combination of a hair dryer and wet cloth to achieve the best results. 
• Steam drying the damp banner also helps you get rid of the crease and wrinkles but avoid using high heat for safety reasons. 

Cleaning material to use:

Taking proper care of the vinyl banner ensures its longevity. Therefore, if you want to ensure guaranteed good life for your vinyl banners, it is not just buying high quality banner material that matters but good maintenance is the key. However, that does not mean using any cleaning agent to remove dirt from the banner. Here is what you need to know.

• Avoid using abrasive and harsh materials, such as sponges or rough materials.
• Using a soft damp cloth or towels with microfibers is ideal for cleaning the banners.
• The cleaning material used for removing dirt and dust from the banner should not damage or scratch it.
• For cleaning the vinyl banner, you must abstain from using harsh chemicals and detergents as it may cause the color of the banner to fade gradually and permanently.
• Typically, you must only use mild soap and water for cleaning the vinyl banners but remember to remove the soap residues from the banner.
• One of the many benefits of using a vinyl banner is that you can clean it more easily than a cardboard or a cloth banner. 
• When the vinyl banner stays out for long hours, you need to give it a good cleaning once within three months and the stored materials require cleaning once every year.
• You must avoid cleaning the vinyl banners with chemical solvents, such as acetone, thinner, and alcohol.

Storage is the key:

When storing the custom vinyl banner, remember to roll it up appropriately instead of folding it. Making the banner folded during storage may result in the formation of creases, especially if you leave the banner stored for a long time. Cleaning and storing the banner properly enhance its life.
