Fully Sewn Romania Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, preserving its bright colours and durable fabric. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, place the flag in a protective mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent damage.
   • Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage 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 maintain its vibrancy.
3. Folding the Romania Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat: Place the flag on a clean, flat surface with the blue stripe on the left, followed by yellow in the centre and red on the right.
   • First lengthwise fold: Bring the red stripe edge over to align with the blue stripe edge, folding the flag in half lengthwise. The yellow stripe will be concealed inside.
   • Second lengthwise fold: Fold the flag lengthwise again, aligning the top and bottom edges to create a long, narrow strip.
   • Fold into sections: Starting from one end, fold the strip into even sections, ensuring the edges are smooth and the colours remain hidden within.
   • Compact the flag: For larger flags, fold further to achieve a compact size suitable for storage. Ensure each fold is crisp to avoid creasing.
   • Store securely: Place the folded flag in a protective cover, bag, or box to shield it from dust, moisture, and damage.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges or abrasive surfaces to prevent snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely attached and free to move while displayed.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend its lifespan, take the flag down during extreme weather or at night to minimise exposure to harsh elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: Address small tears or fraying promptly by replacing the flag temporarily and having the damage professionally repaired.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, replace it to maintain a fresh and presentable display for important occasions.

Flying the Romania Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Attaching with Header Loops: Secure the flag’s reinforced loops to the flagpole using suitable clips or hooks. Lift the flag steadily, ensuring it is firmly attached at the top.
  • Using a Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s vertical sleeve onto the pole, making sure it fits snugly and is properly aligned. Raise the flag smoothly to the top, ensuring it is fully unfurled and presented accurately.
  • Allow the flag to fly unobstructed so the tricolours are clearly visible.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • For horizontal display, position the blue stripe on the left, yellow in the centre, and red on the right.
  • For vertical display, ensure the blue stripe is on the top, followed by yellow and red.
  • Place the flag in a prominent, respectful location for clear visibility.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • Begin by raising the flag to the top of the pole, then lower it to the halfway point.
  • Use this position to signify national mourning or remembrance events.
  • Return the flag to full mast after the observance period concludes.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset unless it is properly illuminated at night.
  • If displayed after dark, ensure the flag is well-lit to maintain its dignity.
  • Take the flag down promptly at sunset if no lighting is available.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag in adverse weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or strong winds, to prevent damage.
  • Remove the flag during severe conditions to preserve its colours and fabric integrity.
  • In mild weather, ensure the flag is securely fastened to minimise wear.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes too worn or faded, retire it respectfully.
  • Fold the flag neatly and dispose of it by burning or burying it in a dignified manner.
  • For guidance, consult local authorities or organisations familiar with flag protocols.

By following these care instructions, your flag will remain a vibrant and enduring symbol of national pride. Proper maintenance reflects your respect for Romania’s heritage and values.
