CARING FOR YOUR FLAG
|
|
|
|
To keep the rich colors of your flag looking bright, DO clean it regularly... before soiling and discoloration from dirt, smoke, dust and other airborne contaminants "set" in the fabric. Outdoor flags may be machine-washed, using a mild soap or detergent. Indoor and parade flags should be dry cleaned only.
|
|
|
|
Only flags made specifically for outdoor use should be displayed outdoors. DO NOT display the flag in inclement weather. Exposure to rain, snow and high winds can shorten the life of your flag considerably. Should the flag become wet, it should be spread out and allowed to dry completely. DO NOT fold or roll up a damp flag.

|
If you display the flag on a stationary pole, keep pole surface in good condition. The abrasive effects of rust or scale can be most harmful to the flag. A clean, smooth pole surface will provide the least possible resistance to the whipping action of the flag and help prevent fabric damage and premature wear.

How long will a flag last? There is no exact answer. Given proper care it will certainly last longer than if neglected. But regardless of how well it is constructed, a flag is only a piece of cloth and will withstand only so much abuse. Eventually, the forces of nature will take their toll.

|
|
When your flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way . . .preferably by burning.
