Can You Repair an American Flag?

Can You Repair an American Flag?

Did you know that your American flag is subject to specific rules and regulations? There is a United States Flag Code that highlights all the ways to maintain your flag. Thankfully, the code allows for an American flag to be mended and cleaned when needed. 

One of the best ways to prolong the life of your American flag is by cleaning it. If your flag is beginning to look dirty and dingy, a good cleaning works wonders. Most flags can be washed with a mild laundry detergent or dish soap. Flags can be washed by hand or in a washing machine.  Be sure to remove immediately and hang to dry, to avoid the colors running together.

  • Always bring the flag inside during inclement weather. 
  • Make sure your flagpole is in good condition. 
  • When placing the flag in storage, make sure the storage container locks out moisture.
