I have an old Annin flag that has been in my family for years. Now I want to display it everyday but it needs to be cleaned how do I clean it?
Many US flags sold in the past 20 years have been made of synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester. These can be machine washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Older flags made of cotton or wool may be more fragile. Natural fabrics tend to deteriorate with age and the fibers become brittle. I would be hesitant to machine- wash these older flags. You can try washing by hand with Woolite or a similar product.
