Let's Celebrate this Fourth of July! Are You Ready?
You will remember to get the charcoal, hot dogs, fireworks, and blanket ready. However, will your flag or flagpole be ready? This is one of the most popular days of the year for flag flying.
It is also one of the most popular periods of the year to see frayed, faded or worn US flags. Maybe your flag is in great shape but your pole is not operational. Better yet, it is also one of the best times of the year to place your logo along side your brilliant oversized US flag where you are sure to draw attention.
If you need any help getting your American colors up and in shape, call us at 765-524-9363.
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 re-hemmed.
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.
How long should a Flag last?
There is no definite answer to this question. How long any flag will last depends on the weather, its location, airborne contamination and how often you fly your flag. Remember, your flag is a piece of cloth that works very, very hard. Throughout its lifetime your flag shakes, trembles, drapes, snaps, chafes, bakes, freezes, ripples, flutters, furls, twists, strains, flies, unfurls and hangs! Is it any wonder that a flag that flies continuously, needs replacing two or three times a year? Wind, water, sun and carelessness are the major enemies of a flag. No one can control the weather but you can take some important steps to lengthen the life of your flag. Occasionally washing your flag in warm detergent water will prevent pollutants and dirt from weakening the fabric. Always let your flag dry thoroughly before storing it to prevent mildew or color transfer. At the first sign of fraying, have your flag repaired before further damage is done. Always keep your flagpole as clean as possible and move your pole if your flag does not have adequate room to fly unobstructed.
