Fully Sewn Qatar Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag and protect its rich colours and fabric. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may damage the material.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent any harm.
   • Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as excessive heat may cause shrinkage or damage to the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it to prevent mould or mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its colours.
3. Folding the Qatar Flag:
   • Prepare the Flag: Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface, ensuring the fabric is wrinkle-free.
   • First Fold (Lengthwise): Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the hoist side (the side with the loops or sleeve) to meet the fly side, aligning the edges carefully.
   • Second Fold (Lengthwise): Fold the flag in half again lengthwise, bringing the two long edges together while ensuring the colours remain visible and the edges are straight.
   • Third Fold (Widthwise): Fold the flag into thirds, starting from the hoist side. Fold one end towards the centre, then bring the other end over it to form a compact rectangle.
   • Final Touches: Smooth out any wrinkles or creases, ensuring the flag is neatly folded with the colours displayed on the outside.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges or rough surfaces to prevent snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened to its pole, allowing it to move freely in the wind.
   • Flag Exposure: To prolong the flag’s life, take it down during extreme weather conditions or at night to minimise exposure to harsh elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For any fraying or wear, consider replacing the flag temporarily and having the damaged one professionally repaired by a skilled seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag reaches the end of its life, consider purchasing a new one to ensure your display always represents your nation with pride.

Flying the Qatar Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is securely attached to the flagpole, with the hoist side (the side with the loops or sleeve) positioned at the top.
  • Raise the flag smoothly and swiftly, making sure it does not touch the ground. The flag should be flown high, allowing its full design to be displayed.
  • The flag should be raised to the top of the pole, unless being flown at half-mast.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • The Qatar flag should be displayed with the white section at the hoist side (closest to the pole) and the maroon section facing outward.
  • Ensure the flag is fully extended, free of wrinkles or folds, so it is clearly visible from all angles.
  • When flying multiple flags, the Qatar flag should occupy a position of honour, at the same height or higher than other flags.
• 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 a point halfway between the top and bottom of the flagpole.
  • This gesture is typically used for mourning or remembrance. Keep the flag at half-mast for the appropriate duration, and return it to full height once the period of mourning has ended.
• Flag Etiquette at Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. If the flag is displayed overnight, ensure it is illuminated to maintain visibility.
  • If flying the flag at night without proper lighting, it is best to take the flag down to avoid damage from the elements.
• Weather Conditions:
  • The Qatar flag should be flown in fair weather. During storms, strong winds, or heavy rain, it is advisable to lower the flag to prevent damage.
  • If the flag is exposed to harsh weather, inspect it regularly for any signs of wear, and consider bringing it down to protect its condition.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn, torn, or faded beyond repair, it should be retired with respect.
  • Fold the flag carefully and dispose of it in a dignified manner, such as by burning or through a proper disposal service.
  • If unsure of the retirement process, consult local authorities or community groups for guidance on how to handle the flag with respect.

By following these care instructions, you’ll ensure that your Fully Sewn Qatar Flag remains vibrant, durable, and a symbol of pride for many years. Proper care reflects the respect you have for your heritage and nation.
