Knitted Polyester Brazil Flag

To maintain the Brazil flag’s vibrant colours and ensure its long-lasting quality, please adhere to the following care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Wash the flag with a mild detergent to prevent fading. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric’s colours.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to avoid snags.
   • Air Drying: Dry the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can shrink or harm the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.
3. Folding the Brazil Flag:
   • Start by Laying Flat: Place the flag on a flat surface with the green field facing up.
   • Fold Lengthwise: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the edges so the green field is on the inside.
   • Fold in Half Again: Fold the flag in half lengthwise once more, ensuring the green field remains on the inside.
   • Create Triangles: Begin at the end of the flag and fold it into a triangle shape, aligning the edges.
   • Continue Folding: Continue folding the flag in a triangular pattern, working from the end.
   • Tuck the End: Once the flag is folded into a compact triangle, tuck any excess fabric neatly to secure the shape.
   • Final Check: Ensure that the flag is folded evenly.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces that could cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly fastened to avoid strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during severe weather or overnight to preserve its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, have the flag repaired by a professional seamstress.
   • Replacement: If the flag shows significant wear, consider replacing it to maintain its appearance for important events.

Flying the Brazil Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is securely attached to the flagpole using the appropriate fasteners or clips.
  • Raise the flag briskly and smoothly to the top of the pole, making sure it does not touch the ground during the process.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Position the flag with the yellow diamond centred. Ensure the flag is fully extended and not folded or bunched.
  • The flag should be flown in a prominent and visible location, ideally at a height that ensures it is easily seen from a distance.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, raise it to the top of the pole first and then lower it to the halfway point.
  • Ensure the flag remains at the correct half-mast position for the duration of the period specified, such as during national mourning or significant commemorations.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise, ensuring it is fully hoisted before the sun is visible.
  • Lower the flag at sunset or before dark, making sure it is carefully and respectfully brought down.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during extreme weather conditions such as high winds, heavy rain, or storms, as this can damage the fabric.
  • If adverse weather is anticipated, lower the flag to protect it and store it in a dry, secure place until conditions improve.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • The proper method for retirement involves burning the flag in a dignified ceremony or returning it to an authorised body that handles flag disposal in accordance with national guidelines.

Following these care instructions will help your flag retain its vibrant colours and pristine condition for many years. Proper maintenance not only ensures the flag’s longevity but also respects the pride and heritage it symbolises.
