How Do You Get Wrinkles Out of a Nylon Flag?
Hang up your flag, and spritz the fabric with water. Allow the flag to dry. For deep-set wrinkles, wash your flag as instructed, then dry it flat.
-
Hang your flag
A few hours of hanging removes the worst of the wrinkles from the flag, especially if the environment is humid. You can also hang the flag in your bathroom, and run the shower to steam out the fabric.
-
Dampen your flag
If hanging the flag does not purge the wrinkles, spritz the fabric with a water nozzle, or flick water onto it with your fingers.
-
Wash your flag
If gentle dampening does not remove the wrinkles, wash your flag instead. Some flags are machine washable. Put the flag in the washer, and select a gentle cycle with cold water. Hand wash your flag if preferred, but use cold water and mild soap.
-
Remove flag from water
Once the flag has finished washing, remove it from the washer immediately. If you hand washed the flag, remove it from the basin right away so new wrinkles do not form.
-
Dry your flag
Dry your flag by hanging it flat or by lying it flat on some absorbent towels. Allow the flag to dry completely before folding it for storage.
