Fully Sewn Kyrgyzstan Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Wash: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, helping to maintain its colour and fabric integrity. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Washing: If machine washing is required, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and set your machine to a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent any damage.
   • Drying: Allow the flag to air dry by laying it flat or hanging it. Refrain from using a tumble dryer, as high temperatures may cause shrinkage or harm the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is thoroughly dry before storing to prevent mould and mildew. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Kyrgyzstan Flag:
   • Prepare the Surface: Start by placing the flag flat on a clean surface, ensuring the side with the emblem is facing down.
   • Initial Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the two shorter edges together. Ensure the edges are aligned to prevent any creases.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Repeat the previous step by folding the flag in half lengthwise once more, maintaining alignment of the edges.
   • Form Triangular Folds: At the open end of the flag, create a triangular fold by lifting the corner towards the hoist side (the side where the pole will be attached), with the tip of the triangle meeting the hoist edge.
   • Continue with Triangular Folds: Fold the triangle back over itself, forming another triangle. Keep repeating this folding method, working from the fly end towards the hoist, until the entire flag is compactly folded into a triangular shape.
   • Final Touches: After reaching the hoist side, tuck any loose fabric beneath the folded triangles for a tidy appearance.
   • Store Securely: Place the neatly folded flag in a protective container or on a soft surface to preserve its shape and avoid creasing.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Make sure the flag is properly fastened and can move freely when displayed.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend the lifespan of the flag, take it down during severe weather or at night to limit exposure to harsh conditions.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If you notice any fraying or wear, replace the flag with a spare and have the damaged one repaired by a professional seamstress.
   • Replacement: As the flag ages, consider investing in a new one to ensure you have a vibrant flag ready for important occasions.

Flying the Kyrgyzstan Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Start by checking that the flagpole is clean and clear of any obstructions.
  • Attaching the Header with Loops: If your flag has a header with loops, run the halyard through each loop before fastening it to the pole. This method creates a robust attachment, facilitating smooth raising and lowering of the flag.
  • Mounting the Vertical Sleeve: For flags designed with a vertical sleeve, just slide the flag down over the pole until it is firmly in place at the top. Make sure the flag is completely unfurled to ensure it is displayed correctly.
  • Raise the flag swiftly to the top of the pole, ensuring it does not touch the ground, as this may be considered disrespectful.
  • Once the flag is at the top, make sure it is firmly secured to prevent it from falling or tangling.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • When showcasing the Kyrgyzstan flag, ensure that the emblem is facing forward and visible to all.
  • If hanging the flag vertically, position the flag at the left as viewed by observers.
  • The flag should be displayed prominently in a visible location, such as at the front of buildings or during public gatherings.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole, then lower it to the halfway point.
  • This act is usually performed to honour those who have passed away or to mark significant events.
  • Ensure the flag remains securely fastened at this lowered position and is not left unattended.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset to maintain proper etiquette.
  • If the flag is illuminated at night, it may be flown continuously, but it should still be lowered at sunset when not lit.
  • This practice shows respect for the flag and what it represents.
• Weather Considerations:
  • Be aware of the weather conditions when flying the flag.
  • It is advisable to lower the flag during severe weather, such as storms or high winds, to prevent damage.
  • If the flag gets wet due to rain, allow it to dry completely before folding or storing it to maintain its quality.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes frayed, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it is essential to retire it with dignity.
  • The preferred method is to burn the flag in a respectful manner, ensuring it is done safely and privately.
  • Consider holding a small ceremony to honour the flag’s service before its retirement, reflecting the respect and pride associated with it.

By following these care instructions, you’ll help ensure that your Fully Sewn Kyrgyzstan Flag remains bright, durable, and a proud emblem for years to come. Proper care reflects your respect for your heritage and nation.
