It is nice to see how American flag are displayed outside the house. But do you know what the American flag is made out of? Usually, cotton American flag are being manufactured. And cotton gives a very bright display of colors and the red and white stripes really stands out.

Before, cotton American flag is widely used but nowadays, because cotton seems to fade over time, they have thought of ways to improve it. They have made flags from the highest quality of materials and that will surely stand the test of time.

Still, today the cotton American flag is perfect for display inside the house which will surely preserve it longer. If this kind of flag is kept outdoors, there is a big chance that the colors will fade in on time especially when it is raining.

Also, exposure to sun gives a different effect to it. The bright colors will eventually change to a more softer one. It will require you to change over and over again when it looks old already. For sure you do not want to have a fading and torn American flag because this represents how you value your country and being a proud citizen.

So one way to take care of the cotton American flag is to keep it inside the house. Keep it clean from dust and cobwebs. If you wash it, do it properly and use mild soap so you would not wash away the color.

If in case, the cotton American flag is torn this can be easily fixed. By fixing it and taking good care of it, it is one of the simplest way of honoring your heritage. This also shows how you value your country.

If in case you want an American flag displayed outside your house then you should look for the ones that can withstand the changing weather. For instance, nylon American flag is excellent for outside display.
