Knitted Polyester Black NAIDOC Flag

To maintain the flag’s quality and keep its colours looking vibrant over time, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use mild detergent when cleaning the flag to help preserve the vibrancy of the colours. Avoid bleach or other strong chemicals that may degrade the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, use a cold water setting on a gentle cycle. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to protect it during the wash.
   • Air Drying: Hang or lay the flag flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as the heat may affect the shape and quality of the material.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Always make sure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a clean, cool, and dry space away from direct sunlight or damp conditions.
3. Folding the NAIDOC Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat with the printed side facing down.
   • Fold it in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom.
   • Fold again lengthwise to create a long, narrow strip.
   • Continue folding into a square or rectangle for compact storage, avoiding sharp creases.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from rough surfaces or sharp edges that could snag or tear the material.
   • Secure Installation: Make sure the flag is attached correctly to avoid unnecessary pulling or stress on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: For best results, remove the flag during heavy rain, strong winds, or overnight to extend its life.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If small tears or fraying appear, set the flag aside and take it to a professional for stitching or mending.
   • Replacement: When noticeable damage or fading occurs, consider replacing the flag to maintain a respectful and presentable display.

Flying the NAIDOC Flag:

• Attach the flag using the supplied loops and sister clips for a stable, upright position.
• Position the flag in a prominent, respectful location that avoids obstruction.
• Avoid letting the flag touch the ground during installation or removal.
• Display the flag during NAIDOC Week or other events recognising Indigenous culture and history.

Following these care steps helps keep your flag looking vibrant and in excellent condition for years to come. Caring for your flag is also a meaningful way to show respect for the heritage and pride it symbolises.
