Dance Flag Care

Following these simple steps will extend the life of your flags. 

KEEP FLAGS DRY - Dyed silk can spot and bleed onto itself if folded onto itself when damp.  This can occur with any dyed silk, and does occur with most dyed silks. 

Do not store your flags in a plastic bag for an extended period of time. This will cause the silk to break down. Silk must breath. 

Tying two flags together in a knot can cause stress along the weave of the silk and can shorten the life of the flags. It is better to fold as you would a towel (two or three folds lengthwise, then roll them up).  If the silk is damp, dry the dyed silk prior to folding. 

Keep silks away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Washing Silk Flags

I do everything possible to remove excess unset dye prior to shipping your flags to you.  Some unset dye may still be present on your flags, and may come out when washing. The best option is to keep the silks dry and there will be little need for washing them.

**** Some dye transfer may occur if flags are stored when damp. This transfer is unset dye, and "MAY" be removed by washing each flag individually in warm water with a drop of dish washing detergent or baby shampoo. Keep the silk moving while washing. Plunge rinse with cold water in a separate bucket. Gently squeeze the flag to remove excess water. Roll it up in a towel and pat dry. Iron with a setting appropriate for silk until completely dry. Repeat if necessary.
