Yesterday was bright and crisp, but the cloud cover and rain moved in today, so we took our decorative holiday flag in to protect it from the weather. #flagcare _________________________________ Online: seattleflagmakers.com Email: [email protected] _________________________________ Tags: #seattleflagmakers #customflags #flags #homedec #giftideas #houseflags #homegoods #handmade #madeinseattle #flag #gift #homedecor #madeintheusa #makers #handsewn #uniquegift #shopsmall #shoplocal #shoplocalseattle #etsy #etsyseller https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQkYIRnPgr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tcvhjtuocnce

People often ask us how long a flag should last, and the answer is, "it all depends". Flags can last all of one day in a hurricane wind or many years with proper care. Weather plays a major factor in the life of a flag as well as where it is flown and how often. Wind, water and sun all work together to lessen the life of a flag. It is best to take it down at night and during foul weather. It is also important to hand wash it in mild detergent occasionally to help prevent pollutants and dirt from weakening the fabric. Hang the flag so that it dries completely before folding or storing it. At the first sign of fraying, have the end repaired before further damage is done. _________________________________________ Online: seattleflagmakers.com Email: [email protected] Tags: #seattleflagmakers #flagcare ______________________________________ #customflags #flags #custompennants #pennants #burgees #boatingflag #houseflags #nautical #handmade #madeinseattle #flag #madeintheusa #makers #handsewn #flagetiquette #workmanship
