Knitted Polyester Soldier in Red Poppies ANZAC Day Flag in Portrait

To preserve the flag’s vibrant colours and long-lasting quality, adhere to these care instructions::

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, preventing fading and preserving the rich colours. Avoid bleach or strong chemicals that may cause discolouration.
   • Machine Wash: If using a washing machine, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag inside 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: The flag should be completely dry before storing to prevent moisture damage. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the ANZAC Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean surface.
   • Fold it in half lengthwise, ensuring the design remains visible.
   • Fold it again lengthwise to create a compact shape.
   • Continue folding into a neat rectangle for easy storage or respectful presentation.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges or rough surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: When displaying the flag, ensure it is firmly fastened to avoid unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: To maintain its longevity, take the flag down during severe weather conditions or overnight when not in use.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If minor fraying or small tears occur, consider professional stitching to extend the flag’s lifespan.
   • Replacement: When signs of significant wear appear, replace the flag to maintain a dignified and respectful display.

Flying the ANZAC Flag:

• Display the flag in a prominent location to honour the ANZAC legacy.
• Ensure the flag is hoisted at sunrise and lowered at sunset, following traditional flag etiquette.
• If flown at half-mast, raise it fully before lowering it to half-mast as a mark of respect.
• Avoid allowing the flag to touch the ground or be draped over objects to uphold its significance.

By following these care guidelines, your flag will maintain its vivid colours and high-quality finish for years to come. Proper care not only extends the flag’s life but also ensures it continues to be a meaningful tribute to remembrance and respect.
