How to Care for Your Custom Flag or Banner?

No matter a custom flag that is always exposed to the open air or a custom banner that is often used for decoration or advertising, these fabric flags may become dingy and their color may gradually fade as time goes on. In order to prolong the lifespan of your custom flags, regular flag care is necessary. Here are some tips that can help you make flags clean and crisp for a longer time.

#1 Fade Prevention

Exposure to the sun will definitely cause your flags to fade quickly but you can slow down this process by taking some measures. For instance, you can spray your flags with a UV fabric protector which creates a coat on the fabric. In terms of storing your flags, put them in a dry and dark area free from any lighting (be it artificial or natural light).

#2 Protect Your Flags From Harsh Weather

The lifetime of your flag is highly dependent on the weather conditions. The more horrible the weather, the less time the flag will last. It is therefore advisable that you make your flag flutter in the breeze but not in strong winds. What’s more, getting your flag down at night is also highly recommended since the weather probably changes when you are in a deep sleep.

#3 Keep Your Flags Clean

Washing your flag after it has outdoor use not only helps remove dirt and pollution but also maintain its vibrant color and gorgeous looking. Use mild washing detergents to clean your flag as they are gentle on the fabric and can help sustain the brightness of colors. After cleaning, you can dry your flags by the thumb or natural wind, but machine dry is forbidden. To prevent staining, always ensure that the flag is completely dry before you proceed to store it.

#4 Stop Rips and Tears in Their Tracks

If you notice a small rip or tear in your custom banner or flag, please take instant steps to repair it. All flags from CFM are quite durable and constructed of high-quality materials, which can be repaired at a minimal cost, compared to the cost of buying a new one. However, if you leave a small rip unattended, it will eventually widen into a tear. By the way, objects such as trees or rough parts on the flagpole itself may damage the flag. Try to ensure that you always fly your flag in free space.
