To get the most wear out of your new flag, we offer the following suggestions and cautions.
OUTDOOR FLAGS
All flags are made to fly in the wind. However, high winds, especially when accompanied by rain, will cause damage to the flag.
TAKE THE FLAG DOWN DURING STORMS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Keep your flag from fraying or tearing by looking at the fly end of the flag for any signs of wear. If wear appears, the worn part should be cut off and the flag rehemmed. We provide flag repair.
A clean flag will last longer. Pollutants in the air will get into the fabric and can cause it to degrade. To clean, wash it in a mild detergent, rinse and hang dry.
KEEP YOUR FLAG AWAY FROM PETROLEUM AND CHEMICAL PRODUCTS.
Never fold or store a flag when it is wet. Let it hang dry completely before you put it away. Wet flags will mildew and ruin the fabric.
INDOOR FLAGS AND PARADE FLAGS
Indoor flags are damaged mainly due to neglect. If the flag is soiled in any way it should be
DRY CLEANED, NOT WASHED.
If an indoor flag becomes wet, it should hang dry completely before it is stored. If possible, exposure to direct sunlight for long periods of time should be avoided.
