I have an old 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. We would be hesitant to machine-wash these older flags. You can try washing by hand with Woolite or a similar product.

Is it proper to display an American flag with fewer than 50 stars?

Yes, once an official US flag, it will always remain so. Even the historical US flag such as the 13-star Betsy Ross is still considered an official American flag.

Is it proper to fly a US flag that has been used as a casket cover?

It is not a violation of flag etiquette but because it is 5 X 9½’ it should be displayed on a flagpole that is 25 to 30 feet tall.

I bought a new flag last week and put it on my car. Now it’s all torn up. Why did it wear out so quickly?

None of the US flags we manufacture are designed to withstand the stress of being displayed on vehicles and driven on the highway. If you want to show your patriotism on your car it would better to use a bumper sticker or tape a US flag inside a side window. Tying a flag to your antenna or otherwise affixing it to your vehicle is unsafe. It could easily tear loose and fly off, thereby causing an accident.

History of the American Flag

The United States flag consists of thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing fifty five pointed stars. The stars are arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars. The fifty stars on the flag represent the fifty U.S. states and the thirteen stripes represent the thirteen original colonies. The American Flag is also known as Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, and the Star-Spangled Banner. Due to the symbolism, the canton is also named the union. This part of the flag can stand alone as a Union Jack flag. When compared to the flags of other countries, the flag of the American flag is very complex. Here are the full flags specifications.

Flag Etiquette

The United States flag should never be allowed to touch the ground and, if flown at night, must be illuminated. If the edges become tattered through wear, the flag should be repaired or replaced. When a flag is so tattered that can no longer serve as a symbol of the United States, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning. The American Legion and other organizations regularly conduct dignified flag-burning ceremonies, often on Flag Day, June 14.
