I have to repaint a large sign foam sign that has faded out a bit through the years. The background has a grain-frame texture to it.

Any tips on how to clean the sign before repainting?

We do pretty much the same thing except we use bleach.

Mix 1 part bleach to 4 parts water. brush it on the sign, wait no more than 10 minutes, and hose it off completely with a garden hose. If there is any mold or mildew etc. the bleach will get it.

The answer is in the Wind!
And I would take it my Friend.

Nothing better then a (Good Back Scrub) with mild agents.
Allow to dry and off to the Races You Go!
