Fully Sewn Saudi Arabia Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, as this will help preserve its colour and fabric integrity. Avoid bleach or any harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is required, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and use a cold water, gentle cycle to minimise wear and tear.
   • Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can shrink or harm the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is fully dry before storing to prevent mould or mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its quality.
3. Folding the Saudi Arabia Flag:
   • Prepare a Clean Surface: Lay the flag flat on a smooth, clean surface to avoid dirt or wrinkles. Ensure the Shahada and sword are clearly visible and aligned correctly.
   • First Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise in half, ensuring the edges align perfectly. The Shahada should remain visible, with the sword pointing to the left.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise again, forming a narrow rectangle. Make sure the Shahada and sword are still positioned properly.
   • Horizontal Folds: Start folding the flag horizontally from the side opposite the sword, creating even sections. Continue folding until the flag forms a compact, rectangular shape.
   • Final Adjustment: Ensure the flag is neatly folded with no creases obstructing the Shahada or sword. Adjust the folds to maintain a respectful and tidy appearance.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from rough surfaces or sharp objects to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly secured to its pole or display fixture, allowing it to fly freely without obstruction.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend the life of the flag, take it down during extreme weather conditions or overnight to reduce exposure to harsh elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If you notice any fraying or wear, replace the flag temporarily and have it professionally repaired to maintain its integrity.
   • Replacement: As the flag ages, consider replacing it to ensure a fresh and vibrant display for important events and celebrations.

Flying the Saudi Arabia Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Using the Header with Loops: Secure the reinforced loops to the halyard clips or hooks for a firm connection. Gradually pull the halyard to raise the flag smoothly and evenly.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s sleeve onto the pole, ensuring a tight fit. Adjust the flag’s alignment to ensure the Shahada and sword are properly displayed before securing the pole.
  • During official ceremonies, it is customary to raise the flag alongside a moment of silence or the national anthem to honour its importance.
• Displaying the Flag
  • Whether displayed horizontally, ensure the Shahada is readable from left to right, with the sword pointing to the left.
  • Never place the flag on the ground or use it as a covering, as this would be considered disrespectful. Always display it in a prominent position, above 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 one-third of the pole’s height.
  • When bringing the flag down from half-mast, raise it to the top of the pole again before lowering it completely.
• Flag Etiquette at Sunrise and Sunset
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. Ensure it is not left flying in the dark unless properly illuminated.
  • When lowering the flag, handle it with care, ensuring it does not touch the ground.
• Weather Conditions
  • Refrain from flying the flag in severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain or strong winds, to avoid damage.
  • If the flag becomes wet, ensure it is thoroughly dried before displaying or storing it again to preserve its quality.
• Retiring the Flag
  • When the flag is too worn or damaged to be displayed with respect, retire it in a dignified manner. Avoid discarding the flag casually, and consider a formal retirement ceremony.
  • Retire the flag in a way that honours its significance, such as through burial or incineration, in accordance with local customs or guidelines.

By following these care instructions, your flag will remain a symbol of pride and resilience for many years. Proper care ensures that your flag continues to reflect the strength and unity of Saudi Arabia.
