Quick Answer

To keep your OKC Comets garden flag looking fresh, wash it gently with mild soap, apply a UV-protectant spray designed for outdoor fabrics, and store it indoors during harsh weather. Regular care prevents fading and fabric wear, so your 12.5 x 18-inch flag stays game-ready for every season.

Why Your Garden Flag Needs a Little TLC

Your OKC Comets garden flag is made by Wincraft, a trusted name in sports accessories, but even quality outdoor flags need routine care. The 12.5 x 18-inch size is perfect for standard garden flag stands, yet sun and rain can fade those team colors over time. A simple care routine keeps it vibrant for tailgates, home decor, or everyday cheering.

5-Step Garden Flag Weatherproofing Routine

  1. 1. Brush off loose dirt weekly: Use a soft-bristle brush or your hand to remove loose dirt, pollen, or bird droppings before they set into the fabric. Skipping this step can grind dirt into the fibers during washing.
  2. 2. Hand wash with mild soap and cool water: Fill a basin with cool water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Submerge the flag, gently rub the soiled areas, then rinse thoroughly. Never wring or twist. Machine washing or hot water can shrink or warp the fabric.
  3. 3. Apply a UV-protectant fabric spray: After the flag is clean and dry, spray an outdoor fabric UV protectant evenly on both sides. Let it cure per the spray's instructions before displaying. Skipping this makes the flag more prone to fading in direct sun.
  4. 4. Air dry completely before storing: Hang the flag on a padded hanger indoors or lay it flat on a clean towel. Avoid direct sunlight while drying to prevent uneven fading. Storing it damp invites mildew and mold growth.
  5. 5. Store indoors during heavy weather: When not in use, keep the flag in a cool, dry place away from moisture and extreme heat. A breathable storage bag works best. Leaving it out in heavy rain or snow shortens its lifespan.
