Knitted Polyester Brown NAIDOC Flag in Portrait

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

1. Cleaning:

   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag and help preserve its colours. Avoid using bleach or strong chemicals that may damage the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If using a washing machine, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to reduce the risk of tears or snags.
   • Air Drying: After washing, lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as excessive heat can shrink or weaken the material.

2. Storage:

   • Proper Storage: Allow the flag to dry completely before storing it. Keep it in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight or damp environments.

3. Folding the NAIDOC Flag:

   • Lay the flag flat on a clean surface.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge.
   • Fold it lengthwise once more in the same direction.
   • Starting from the fly end, fold the flag into a triangle by bringing the bottom corner to the top edge.
   • Continue folding in triangles until you reach the end, keeping the folds tight and smooth.
   • Tuck any excess fabric into the final triangle for a neat finish.

4. Handling:

   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from rough surfaces or sharp items to avoid tearing.
   • Secure Installation: Attach the flag firmly during display to minimise fabric stress.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during harsh weather or overnight to protect its appearance.

5. Repairs:

   • Minor Repairs: For small damages, remove the flag and have it professionally repaired to extend its life.
   • Replacement: When the flag becomes significantly worn or faded, replace it to maintain its dignity during public displays.

Flying the NAIDOC Flag:

• Display the flag in a respectful and prominent location.
• Raise the flag in the morning and lower it in the evening.
• Always fly the flag upright with the correct orientation.
• When flown with other flags, display the NAIDOC flag in a position of equal prominence.

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.
