Knitted Polyester Soldier and Poppy ANZAC Day Flag

To maintain the flag’s durability and vivid colours, follow these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:

   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean your flag and preserve its vibrant colours. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may cause fading or damage.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat may shrink or weaken the fabric.

2. Storage:

   • Proper Storage: Completely dry the flag before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry location to prevent moisture buildup and mildew.

3. Folding the ANZAC Flag:

   • Lay the flag flat on a clean, dry surface.
   • Fold it in half lengthwise, ensuring the design remains visible.
   • Fold it in half again, keeping the poppy and soldier imagery aligned.
   • Continue folding in a triangular pattern from the bottom until the flag is neatly compact.
   • Store it in a protective case or clean fabric bag to maintain its condition.

4. Handling:

   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges and rough surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Attach the flag properly to its mounting hardware or pole to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: While the flag is designed for durability, bringing it down during extreme weather conditions will help extend its lifespan.

5. Repairs:

   • Minor Repairs: If small tears or fraying occur, consider having the flag professionally repaired to restore its integrity.
   • Replacement: For flags showing significant wear or fading, replacing them ensures they remain a dignified symbol of remembrance.

Flying the ANZAC Flag:

• Attach the flag to a sturdy flagpole or display stand.
• Raise it at sunrise and lower it at sunset to observe traditional flag protocols.
• During ANZAC Day ceremonies, fly the flag at half-mast until noon, then raise it to full height as a mark of respect.
• If displaying multiple flags, position the ANZAC flag in a place of prominence.

By following these care instructions, your flag will maintain its striking appearance and durability, serving as a proud and lasting tribute for years to come. Proper care is a reflection of the respect and honour the flag represents.
