Knitted Polyester Red NAIDOC Flag

To keep your flag looking vibrant and well-maintained, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to help preserve the flag’s colour. Avoid bleach or harsh cleaners that could fade or weaken the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, use a cold, gentle cycle. Place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can damage the material or cause shrinkage.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Make sure the flag is completely dry before packing it away. Store in a cool, dry place to protect it from moisture and mildew.
3. Folding the NAIDOC Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean surface.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise in half, bringing the top edge to meet the bottom.
   • Fold again lengthwise in the same direction.
   • Starting at one end, roll the flag neatly into a cylinder or fold into a rectangle for compact storage.
   • Avoid sharp creases to maintain the fabric’s integrity.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from surfaces that may snag or tear the material.
   • Secure Installation: Always display the flag using appropriate fittings to avoid unnecessary pulling or stress on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during heavy rain, strong wind, or overnight to extend its lifespan.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If there are small tears or loose stitching, remove the flag and have it repaired by a professional before using again.
   • Replacement: When the flag becomes worn or faded, replace it with a new one to maintain a respectful and vibrant display.

Flying the NAIDOC Flag:

• Display the flag from a standard flagpole, wall bracket, or vertical banner stand.
• Raise the flag in a position of prominence during NAIDOC Week or cultural events.
• Lower and store the flag properly when not in use to preserve its condition.
• Use the appropriate fittings for the finish type, whether loops, sleeve, or eyelets.

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.
