Knitted Polyester Blue NAIDOC Flag

For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the flag, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:

   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to help preserve the brightness of the colours. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can cause fading and weaken the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a cold, gentle cycle. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to reduce the risk of damage or tangling.
   • Air Drying: Hang or lay the flag flat to dry naturally. Do not tumble dry, as excessive heat can cause shrinkage or fabric deterioration.

2. Storage:

   • Proper Storage: Make sure the flag is completely dry before packing it away. Store it in a cool, dry place to avoid mould or mildew buildup.

3. Folding the NAIDOC Flag:

   • Lay the flag flat on a clean, dry surface with the design facing down.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise in half, ensuring the edges are aligned.
   • Fold it lengthwise again for a narrower strip.
   • Starting from the opposite end of the header, fold the flag into neat rectangles until compact.
   • Store folded flag in a protective fabric bag or container to prevent dust and creasing.

4. Handling:

   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep away from surfaces or items that may snag, scratch, or tear the fabric.
   • Secure Installation: Display the flag using proper fittings to avoid flapping stress that may cause wear.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during heavy rain, strong winds, or overnight to prolong its lifespan.

5. Repairs:

   • Minor Repairs: Light fraying or small tears should be mended by a professional to extend usability.
   • Replacement: When significant wear or fading occurs, it’s best to replace the flag to maintain respectful presentation.

Flying the NAIDOC Flag:

• Use the header loops or eyelets to securely fasten the flag to a flagpole or rope line.
• Ensure the flag is hung in a well-supported area to prevent twisting or dragging.
• Display the flag in a respectful and prominent position, especially during NAIDOC Week observances.
• Bring the flag down each evening unless properly lit for night display.

By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and remain in top condition for many years. Taking care of your flag is not just about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
