Knitted Polyester Bahrain Flag

For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Bahrain flag, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may cause fading.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Do not use a tumble dryer as high heat can shrink and damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
3. Folding the Bahrain Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat with the red band on the left side.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise, aligning the long edges.
   • Fold it again lengthwise, bringing the shorter edges together to create a narrow strip.
   • Begin folding the strip into a triangle from one end, ensuring each fold is even and smooth.
   • Continue folding the triangle inward, maintaining alignment until the end of the strip is reached.
   • Make final adjustments to ensure the flag is neatly folded and compact, with the red band visible on the top layer.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items and rough surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly hoisted and free from obstructions.
   • Flag Exposure: Reduce the flag’s exposure to harsh weather by taking it down during extreme conditions or at night.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For any wear, tear, or fraying, promptly replace the flag with a spare and seek professional repair from a seamstress.
   • Replacement: As the flag approaches the end of its lifespan, consider ordering a new one to maintain a fresh and vibrant appearance for future events.

Flying the Bahrain Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Attach the flag securely to the flagpole using the appropriate fittings or fastenings.
  • Ensure the flag is hoisted smoothly and without any folds or creases.
  • Raise the flag briskly to the top of the flagpole, ensuring it is fully unfurled and visible.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is displayed with the white band on the left side when viewed from the front.
  • Position the flag so it is clearly visible and not obstructed by other objects.
  • Keep the flag taut and well-positioned to ensure it flies properly and is easily recognisable.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the flagpole and then lower it to the halfway point.
  • Ensure the flag remains in position at half-mast securely, without sagging or touching the ground.
  • When the period of mourning or tribute ends, raise the flag back to full mast before lowering it at the end of the day.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset to adhere to traditional flag etiquette.
  • Ensure that the flag is hoisted and lowered respectfully, avoiding contact with the ground.
  • If the flag is displayed overnight, ensure it is illuminated to remain visible and to show respect.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag in severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds, or storms, to prevent damage.
  • If adverse weather is expected, take the flag down and store it safely to protect it.
  • Regularly check the flag for signs of wear and tear, especially after bad weather, and replace it if needed.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag shows significant wear or damage, it should be retired with respect.
  • Replace the flag with a new one to uphold its dignity and appearance.
  • Retire the flag through a respectful method, such as a ceremonial burning, following local customs and guidelines.
