HOIST YOUR COLORS How to Clean Your Flag Like a Pro
COTTON FLAGS Flags made of natural materials like cotton are more delicate, so it’s wise to bring them to a professional. One of the best options for this flag type is to spot-clean the dirty areas. If you need to clean the entire flag, wash it by hand using oxygen- based bleach and cold water. Heat can damage a cotton flag, so don’t put it in the dryer.
The hanger storage is still an issue, and we will continue collecting your hangers! Instead of sending them to the landfill, let us put them to use. We offer a cardboard hanger recycling tote you can request to fill with the hangers you no longer need. It can also help you organize your closet. Thank you for all your help. THE HANGER SHORTAGE CONTINUES
There’s nothing like a flag waving proudly in the summer breeze to show off your love for your country or other affiliation. But you want those stars and stripes to shine brightly! Cleaning your flag requires extra care, but it will preserve it and help it maintain its bright colors. So, whether it’s Old Glory or your favorite team’s banner, we have the tips to ensure your flag flies high for a long time. SPOT CHECK Not all fabrics are created or treated equally. So, it’s always a good idea to spot-check a small section of your flag before cleaning it. You can do this by wetting a cotton swab and rubbing it on a section of
each color in the flag. If the dye comes off, the colors will bleed in the wash.
NYLON AND POLYESTER FLAGS
If your flag passes the spot test and is made of nylon or polyester, you can put it in the washing machine. Select the delicate cycle and use cold water. We recommend only using a little detergent and to remove the flag as soon as the cycle finishes. Make sure to hang the flag on the clothesline, as the dryer could destroy it. Once it has dried, you can remove wrinkles with a cool iron.
