A flag's life span is impossible to predict; it is like predicting
the weather. The major enemies of a flag are wind, sun and
carelessness...the single greatest cause of flag deterioration.
No one can control the weather, but you can take care of
your flag and lengthen its life by doing the following:

Occasional washing in warm mild detergent;
Let your flag dry thoroughly before storing it;
Have your flag repaired at the first sign of fraying;
Take your flag down at night and during bad weather.

Our flags are manufactured to give maximum service in return for
reasonable care and prudent use. Remember, no two flags receive
identical wear. The best way to stretch your "flag dollar" is to
have three flags: one flying, one in the wash, and one clean one in
storage for special occasions.
