Fully Sewn Belarus Flag

To ensure the longevity and vibrant appearance of your flag, please follow these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Always use a mild detergent to avoid fading. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals on your flag.
   • 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.
   • Drying: Allow the flag to air dry by laying it flat or hanging it up. Refrain from using a tumble dryer, as the high temperatures can lead to shrinkage and harm the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Belarus Flag:
   • Lay the flag out on a flat, clean surface to avoid any dirt or damage during the folding process.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the two shorter edges together to ensure the colours and patterns are aligned neatly.
   • Smooth out any wrinkles or creases to ensure the flag is flat and even.
   • Fold the flag in thirds lengthwise, ensuring that the red stripe is visible on the top and the green and white sections are evenly folded underneath.
   • Continue folding the flag in a fan-like manner from one end to the other, keeping the folds even and compact.
   • Once folded, place the flag in a protective cover or storage bag to keep it clean and ready for future use.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Ensure the flag is kept away from any sharp edges or surfaces that could lead to snags, tears, or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely hoisted and fully extended.
   • Flag Exposure: Minimise exposure to harsh weather conditions. Remove the flag during severe weather or in the evening to prevent damage.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, replace the flag promptly and take the damaged flag to a professional for repair.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows signs of significant wear, consider ordering a new one to ensure you have a fresh flag for future use.

Flying the Belarus Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Attach the flag securely to the flagpole, ensuring it is centred and hangs freely without touching the ground.
  • Raise the flag briskly and evenly to the top of the pole, keeping it taut and straight to avoid wrinkles.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Ensure the red stripe is at the top when the flag is hoisted.
  • Display the flag prominently and ensure it is fully visible, allowing it to flutter freely without obstruction.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole before lowering it to the halfway point.
  • Ensure the flag remains in this position to signify mourning or respect, and return it to full mast after the period of commemoration.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset to observe traditional flag etiquette, ensuring it is displayed during daylight hours only.
  • If the flag is illuminated at night, ensure it remains in good condition and is visible.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag in severe weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage.
  • During extreme weather, consider taking the flag down and storing it to preserve its condition.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Arrange for the flag to be properly disposed of by burning it in a dignified ceremony or through an official flag retirement programme.

By following these care instructions, you can maintain the Belarus Flag’s vibrant colours and durability for years to come. Your flag is a symbol of national pride, and proper care reflects the respect and value you place on your heritage.
