MAINTAIN A NYLON FLAG

CLEAN YOUR FLAG ALWAYS

Flagpoles are vital for flag display. It is essential to clean the pole properly in order to keep moisture out.

Moisture can lead to rust and fungus.

You can wash the pole with mild detergent and warm soap if you are unable or unwilling to use it.

Attach the sponge to pole's end-halyard. You can use the sponge to clean your flagpole.

FILL THE FLAG WHILE PERMITTING HARSH WEAR CONDITIONS

Winters are not the best time to fly flags.

If your flag is not at least medium in size, you can hang it indoors. Flagpoles that are used in winter are more expensive than flagpoles.

The effects of temperature, air and cold on halyards can lead to fraying or dry-rotting.

WASHER THE FLAG
