ROSELAND, N.J., July 3, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Independence Day is typically a time for friends and family to celebrate with each other and within their community…from ball games to backyard Barbeques and festive events with local parades, patriotic concerts and fireworks. You can add some spark to your picnic or BBQ with a most decorative dessert or salads contest and a most patriotic shirt contest or yard games like patriotic bingo. Whatever you do, bring your flags, wear red, white and blue and celebrate America.
This time of year, Flag Etiquette and Care and Handling are two areas consumers inquire the most about.
Flag Care and Handling
1. To keep its rich colors looking bright, clean your flag regularly, before soiling and discoloration from dirt, smoke, dust and other airborne contaminants "set" in the fabric. Outdoor flags can be hand-washed with warm water and a mild soap, then thoroughly rinsed and spread out to dry. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for indoor/parade flags.
2. Do not place the flag where the wind will whip it against rough surfaces, tree branches, wires, cables, etc. The smallest tear can soon result in a tattered flag. Keep pole surfaces free of heavy dirt, rust, scale and corrosion that could damage your flag.
Flag Etiquette
Proper Flag Etiquette is outlined in the US Flag Code, passed by Congress in Dec 22, 1942 as public law 829. This time of year, when you leave your flag out more often you should keep it lit at night with either a spot light, porch light or a solar light that you can put on top of the pole.
