Your My Hiking Sign is designed to last, even outdoors, thanks to a compact wood specially chosen for its high resistance to weathering. This robust material guarantees a quality product, without the need for varnish. To take care of it and prolong its brilliance, a few simple steps are enough.

1 General Maintenance: Dusting and Cleaning

Regular Dusting

A simple soft, dry cloth is ideal for dusting your sign. This helps remove particles that can accumulate over time, especially indoors, where wood can slightly attract dust.

Gentle Cleaning

If your sign needs a more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and avoid any abrasive or chemical products that could alter the natural color of the compact wood. After cleaning, make sure to dry the sign thoroughly to avoid any residual moisture.

2 Outdoor Exposure: Weather Resistance

Withstands Rain and Temperature Variations

Thanks to its compact wood construction, your sign is designed to withstand weathering without additional protection. You can install it outdoors, even in exposed areas. However, if possible, a sheltered location will prolong its brilliance against extreme weather conditions.

Reduced Direct Sun Exposure

Although compact wood is highly resistant to UV rays, prolonged and direct sun exposure can still slightly alter its natural color over time. Installing the sign in a partially shaded area is ideal for preserving its original colors.

3 Handling and Fixing

Handle with Care

If you wish to move your sign, handle it with caution to avoid any shocks or impacts. Although it is solid, an intense impact could still leave marks on the surface.

Checking Fasteners

Whether the sign is placed, suspended, glued, or screwed, regularly check the fasteners, especially outdoors, to ensure its stability. Temperature variations and humidity can sometimes affect wall fasteners or adhesives.

Minimal Maintenance for Years of Memories

Thanks to its robustness and resistant compact wood, your hiking sign requires very little maintenance. By following these few tips, it will retain its authentic appearance and continue to remind you of your mountain adventures for many years!
