HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

COLOURS, STANDARDS AND GUIDONS

Colours, Standards and Guidons are vulnerable items and require careful handling at all times. On no account are these items to be laundered or dry cleaned.

If an item becomes excessively soiled or marked consult with the manufacturer before attempting to clean.

Under no conditions are Colours, Standards, or Guidons to be packed away or rolled when wet. Should any of these items become wet they are to be dried carefully and thoroughly by being hung in a warm area and left to dry naturally. Never apply direct heat in an attempt to force dry. In hot and humid climates these items should be frequently aired and stored in a cool place. Ideally, when not in use on parade, they should be wrapped in sulphur-free paper and stored in the container in which they are issued. The continued display of these items involving exposure to bright sunlight and/or humidity causes rapid deterioration and should be limited to special occasions.
