I would, if mine was dirty. Machine wash warm, non-bleach laundry
stuff. Clothes line dry.

I'd also (respectfully) cut up and burn a flag, if it was beyond
useful life. Lot of things are proper, if done with respect. I think
it's the American Legion, that has flag disposal for worn out flags. I
remember from some where, they burn the old ones. With respect, of
course.

While we're on the subject, is it proper to wash the American flag?
Our
fire trucks carry large flags and some get quite dirty. Hubby and I
donated a couple of new ones for a 9/11 anniversary, but they are
rather
expensive. I'd offer to take the flags home and wash them if it was
okay. Hate to see it displayed the wrong way.
