Display #26 Tips for taking care of your flag: Flags are often exposed to the harshest conditions, even the highest quality materials and finishes will suffer if not treated with care. Here is our guide on how to take simple care of your flags: 1. Consider the positioning of your flag to minimise the effects of the environment. Air pollution can turn white areas grey, and too much UV light can cause fading and fabric deterioration. 2. Reducing the flying time will preserve the life of your flag. A flag will last between six and eight months when flown constantly, so taking down the flag when not in use will help it to last longer. 3. Take note of the climatic conditions. Flags should be taken down during poor weather conditions. Heavy rain and strong winds can increase the weight of the flag and put extra strain on the flagpole. Our flags are designed to withstand Up to18mph winds as standard. 4. Washing your flag. Flags can be machine washed with everyday soft detergents on a 30° wash. They should always be allowed to dry out completely before folding and storing.
