Free American Flag Cleaning
Salem Cleaners loves to see our neighbors fly their American flag high and proud. That’s why we’re happy to clean them for those in our community here in Central Virginia free of charge—and that’s true every day we’re open. Big (up to 15’x20′) or small, if it has stars and stripes, we’ll provide a complimentary cleaning!
Why Dry Clean the Star-Spangled Banner?
Soiling and discoloration of the American flag can occur from indoor and outdoor airborne pollutants, smoke, dust and dirt. Regardless of the material—nylon, polyester, cotton or wool—dry cleaning is recommended to preserve your flag’s shape, color and beauty. It is also the safest method for cleaning that maintains respect for all your flag stands for—loyalty, patriotism and freedom.
Proudly
We are big supporters of patriotism and we love to see our neighbors fly their US flag. That’s why we started our Salem Pledge Of Allegiance Program many years ago. Any day, any time. We encourage all of our friends to fly their American Flag proudly.
Care Tips for Optimum Life
- Hang outdoor flags with plenty of clearance from buildings, tree, wires, etc.
- Do not fly your flag in snow, heavy rain or abnormally high winds.
- When wet, always lay flat to air dry.
- Never fold or roll a wet flag.
- If you don’t have space to store your flag flat, loosely roll it and store in a mailing tube.
- Proper storage temperatures are those that are comfortable for living conditions.
