Care for Your Patriotic Decor - Handle Your Decor With Pride

When the holidays are over and the celebrations have been committed to memory, it might be time to care for your patriotic decorations.

Here are some pointers for cleaning & storing nylon and poly/cotton blend pleated full fans, pulldowns and bunting.

To clean pleated fan flag bunting:

Hand-wash it in cold water with a mild, bleach-free detergent, then hang it to air-dry completely.

Preparation

• Remove loose debris. Gently shake the bunting to get rid of any loose dirt, dust, or cobwebs. For more stubborn grime, use a soft brush.
• Inspect for stains. If you notice any spots or stains, pretreat them by gently rubbing a small amount of mild detergent into the area. For tough stains, a mixture of cold water and oxygen-based bleach (for colorfast fabric) can be used, but always test it on an inconspicuous area first. For spot cleaning small stains, try using a Tide Pen or similar, they usually work great.

Hand-washing method

For maximum safety and to prevent colors from bleeding, hand-washing is the best option. 

• Fill a tub or bucket with lukewarm or cold water and add a gentle, color-safe laundry detergent. Avoid any products with bleach.
• Submerge the bunting and gently swish it around in the soapy water. Avoid scrubbing too harshly, which can damage the fabric.
• Soak for up to 30 minutes for heavily soiled bunting.
• Rinse thoroughly by draining the soapy water and refilling the tub with clean, cold water. Repeat this process until all soap is gone and the water runs clear.
• Press out excess water. Gently press the water out of the fabric. Do not wring or twist the bunting, as this can damage the material and pleats. 

Drying

• Air-dry only. Hang the bunting in a shaded area or indoors to air-dry. Direct sunlight can cause colors to fade.
• Avoid the dryer. High heat from a clothes dryer can shrink or damage the fabric and is not recommended.
• Iron if necessary. If you need to restore crispness to the pleats, use an iron on its lowest steam setting, taking care not to burn the fabric.

Storage

Once completely dry, fold the bunting neatly along its original pleats and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can place it in a breathable storage bag or a pillowcase.
