Knitted Polyester Belarus Flag

For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Belarus flag, kindly adhere to the following care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean your flag and avoid bleach or similar products that can cause fading.
   • Machine Wash: If necessary, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. To protect the flag, place it in a mesh laundry bag.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Do not use a tumble dryer as high heat can lead to shrinkage and fabric damage.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Make sure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and damage.
3. Folding the Belarus Flag:
   • Lay Flat: Place the flag on a clean, flat surface with the design facing up.
   • First Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the edges neatly.
   • Second Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise again, ensuring the previous folds align.
   • Third Fold: Fold the flag widthwise to create a rectangular shape, making sure the design remains centred.
   • Final Fold: Continue folding in thirds or quarters until the flag is compact and manageable, preserving the integrity of the emblem and pattern.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects and surfaces that may cause snags, tears, or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly hoisted and fully extended.
   • Flag Exposure: Reduce exposure to harsh weather by taking down the flag in extreme conditions or at night.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For any signs of wear, tear, or fraying, replace the flag with a spare and take the damaged one to a professional for repairs.
   • Replacement: When the flag nears the end of its lifespan, consider ordering a new one to maintain a fresh and presentable appearance for future events.

Flying the Belarus Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is clean and in good condition.
  • Attach the flag securely to the halyard or rope, making sure it is properly aligned with the pole.
  • Raise the flag smoothly and steadily, ensuring it is not touching the ground and that it unfurls properly.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Position the flag so that it is clearly visible and fully extended.
  • The flag should be flown in a prominent location, ideally at a height where it can be seen from a distance.
  • Ensure the flag is not obstructed by other objects or structures.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To lower the flag to half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole and then lower it to the halfway point.
  • Ensure the flag is securely positioned at half-mast and not fluttering loosely.
  • Raise the flag back to full mast when appropriate, following any specific guidelines or protocols.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset to respect traditional flag etiquette.
  • If the flag is to be flown continuously, ensure it is illuminated if displayed at night.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag in extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, or snow to prevent damage.
  • Remove the flag during severe weather and reattach it when conditions improve.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn or damaged, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Consider arranging for the flag to be ceremoniously retired or replaced according to local customs and regulations.
