Knitted Polyester Lest We Forget Triservice Art Flag

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

1. Cleaning:

   • Gentle Washing: Wash the flag using a mild detergent to reduce the risk of fading. Avoid bleach or strong chemicals that may harm the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from damage.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinkage or fabric damage.

2. Storage:

   • Proper Storage: Dry the flag completely before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry location to prevent moisture damage and discolouration.

3. Folding the Flag:

   • Half Lengthwise: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the bottom edge to meet the top edge.
   • Repeat the Fold: Fold it in half once more, keeping the design visible.
   • Triangular Folds: Starting from the fly end, fold the flag into triangles until only the design is visible.
   • Secure the Fold: Tuck any excess fabric into the final fold for a neat and respectful presentation.

4. Handling:

   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp or abrasive surfaces to prevent tears.
   • Secure Installation: Securely attached the flag to poles or mounts to minimise strain.
   • Minimise Exposure: During harsh weather or overnight, consider taking the flag down to prolong its lifespan.

5. Repairs:

   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consult a professional seamstress for repair.
   • Replacement: If the flag shows noticeable wear or damage, consider replacing it to maintain a respectful display.

Flying the Flag:

• Correct Positioning: Fly the flag upright, with the design clearly visible.
• Dignified Display: It is recommended to fly the flag from a dedicated pole to honour its significance.
• Half-Mast Protocol: On days of remembrance, lower the flag to half-mast until noon, then raise it to full-mast for the remainder of the day.

By following these guidelines, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and pristine condition for years to come. Caring for your flag is a meaningful way to honour the pride and legacy it represents.
