- For outdoor or long-term use, laminate it or buy a rigid version.
Where to use it

- Shops, cafes and waiting rooms
Questions
Do I need a wet floor sign as well?
If the floor is wet, yes: a cleaning sign does not warn about a slippery floor. See our wet floor signs.
Does a cleaning sign replace a safe system of work?
No. It is a notice. Cleaning chemicals and equipment still need proper controls.
Is 'Cleaned today' a safe thing to display?
Only if it is true. Use the sign with a rota or sign-off sheet, and update it as you clean.
What sizes should I print?
A4 suits doors and stands. A5 suits cubicle doors. A3 suits corridors and entrances.
