Fully Sewn Liberia Flag

To maintain the longevity and vibrant look of your Liberia flag, follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Clean the flag using a mild detergent to preserve its colours and fabric quality. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could cause fading.
   • Machine Wash Option: If you must machine wash, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent damage.
   • Dry Naturally: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat may shrink or damage the material.
2. Storage:
   • Store Correctly: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it to prevent mould or mildew. Keep in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Liberia Flag:
   • Prepare the Flag: Lay the flag flat on a clean surface, held at each end to keep it taut. Position the flag with the blue field and white star in the top left corner.
   • First Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise by bringing the lower edge up to meet the top edge. Smooth out any wrinkles and align the edges carefully.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold it in half lengthwise once more, ensuring the blue field remains visible on the outside and that the edges are even.
   • Begin Triangular Folds: Starting from the striped end, fold the bottom right corner upwards to form a small triangle. Continue making triangular folds by alternating each corner towards the opposite edge, moving toward the blue field.
   • Complete the Triangle Folds: Repeat this triangular folding pattern, keeping each fold tight and aligned, until only the blue section with the star is left.
   • Secure the End: Tuck any remaining blue fabric into the folded triangles, creating a compact and secure shape. The completed fold should form a triangle with the blue field and star visible on top.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Edges: Keep the flag away from sharp or rough surfaces to prevent any snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly fastened, allowing it to move freely without risk of tearing.
   • Minimise Exposure: For extended durability, take the flag down during extreme weather conditions or overnight to limit wear from environmental factors.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For any fraying or small tears, switch to a backup flag and consider having the damaged one repaired by a professional.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows signs of extensive wear, replace it with a new one to maintain a pristine display for special occasions.

Flying the Liberia Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Begin by inspecting the flag to ensure it is in good shape, free from any visible damage.
  • Using Header with Loops: For flags equipped with a header and loops, pass the halyard through the reinforced loops at the top and secure it firmly to ensure the flag remains stable while on display.
  • Using Vertical Sleeve: If your flag is equipped with a vertical sleeve, slide it onto the flagpole until properly aligned. Use suitable fasteners to hold it securely, keeping the flag taut and clearly visible.
  • Stand at attention and raise the flag swiftly, making sure it unfurls without obstruction.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • When mounted on a flagpole, the blue field should always be positioned on the left side from the viewer’s perspective.
  • For indoor displays, the flag can be hung vertically or horizontally, ensuring the blue field is oriented correctly for visibility.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To lower the flag to half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole briefly, then bring it down to the half-mast position.
  • Lower it about halfway down, maintaining visibility while honouring the occasion.
  • Follow the proper guidelines during periods of national mourning or remembrance.
• Flag Etiquette at Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise, ensuring it is completely unfurled with the day’s first light.
  • Lower it at sunset with care to avoid contact with the ground.
  • When illuminated at night, the flag may remain raised, provided there is sufficient lighting to keep it clearly visible.
• Weather Considerations:
  • Refrain from flying the flag in adverse weather conditions like high winds, heavy rain, or storms to prevent damage.
  • If severe weather is expected, take the flag down as a precaution.
  • While durable fabrics such as knitted polyester offer some resilience, it’s wise to be cautious.
• Retiring the Flag:
  • Once the flag is no longer in suitable condition for display, it should be retired with respect.
  • A common method is dignified burning, taking care with the ashes.
  • Alternatively, consider reaching out to local veteran organisations or participating in official flag retirement ceremonies for proper disposal.

By following these guidelines, your Fully Sewn Liberia Flag will retain its vibrancy and durability, standing as a proud symbol for many years to come. Taking care of your flag is a meaningful way to honour Liberia’s heritage and spirit.
