Fully Sewn Bulgaria Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, preserving its colours and fabric. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Wash: If necessary, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent damage.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat may cause shrinkage or damage.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Make sure the flag is completely dry before storing to prevent mould and mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Bulgaria Flag:
   • Initial Fold: Place the flag on a flat surface with the white stripe facing upwards. Fold it lengthwise so the green stripe is on top, ensuring the edges are neatly aligned.
   • Second Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise once more, aligning the white and green stripes. This will create a long, narrow strip with the red stripe on the outside.
   • Triangle Folding: Begin folding the flag from the side with the pocket or loops, creating overlapping triangles. Start with a fold that forms a triangle with its top edge aligned with the flag’s edge.
   • Continue Folding: Keep folding the flag into triangles, making sure each fold is precise and the flag remains taut. Continue until the entire flag is neatly folded into a compact triangle.
   • Secure the End: Tuck the remaining loose end of the flag underneath the folded triangles to achieve a smooth and tidy finish.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp or rough surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened and has room to move freely while displayed.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend the life of the flag, remove it during extreme weather conditions or at night to minimise exposure to harsh elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For minor fraying or wear, replace the flag with a spare and have any damage professionally repaired by a seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag reaches the end of its lifespan, consider purchasing a new one to keep a fresh and vibrant symbol ready for significant occasions.

Flying the Bulgaria Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Secure the flag to the flagpole using the designated loops or clips.
  • Raise the flag gradually and evenly, ensuring it unfolds completely without tangling.
  • Position the flag at the top of the pole, with the white stripe at the top, followed by green and red.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Display the flag prominently in a location where it is clearly visible and unobstructed.
  • Avoid placing the flag where it could touch the ground or be otherwise damaged.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first hoist it to the top of the pole and then lower it to the midpoint.
  • Keep the flag at this position during the period of mourning or tribute.
  • After the appropriate time, raise the flag back to the top before lowering it for storage.
• Flag Etiquette for Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset if it is not illuminated by artificial light.
  • If the flag will be displayed at night, ensure it is properly lit to maintain respect.
• Weather Considerations:
  • Avoid flying the flag in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or snow, as these can damage the fabric.
  • During adverse weather, consider removing the flag to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.
• Retiring the Flag:
  • When the flag is too worn or damaged to be repaired, it should be retired with respect.
  • Fold the flag ceremonially and dispose of it honourably, either through a local flag retirement ceremony or by contacting a flag disposal service.

By adhering to these guidelines, you ensure your flag maintains its vibrant colours and excellent condition over time. Proper care not only preserves its quality but also honours the pride and heritage it embodies.
