For enduring quality and vibrant colours of the Democratic Republic of the Congo flag, please adhere to these care guidelines:

Cleaning:
- Gentle Washing: Always wash the flag using a mild detergent to reduce fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could harm the colours.
- 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.
- Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink or damage the fabric.
Storage:
- Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry, and secure location to prevent moisture damage.
Folding the Democratic Republic of the Congo Flag:
- Start by Laying the Flag Flat: Place the flag on a clean, flat surface.
- Fold Lengthwise: Take the flag’s bottom edge and fold it upwards towards the top edge, aligning the edges evenly. This should create a long, narrow rectangle.
- Create a Quarter Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise again, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge. Make sure to smooth out any creases to maintain a neat appearance.
- Triangular Folds: Starting from the hoist (left) side of the folded flag, take the top corner and fold it diagonally towards the right edge, forming a triangle. Continue folding the triangle over itself, keeping the triangular shape intact. Repeat this step, folding the next triangle over the previous one, until you reach the end of the flag.
- Final Adjustment: Once you reach the end, tuck any excess fabric into the folds to secure the shape. Ensure the flag is compact and easy to handle.
Handling:
- Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces that may lead to snags or tears.
- Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly attached when displayed to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
- Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during severe weather or overnight to protect its condition.
Repairs:
- Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider replacing the flag and taking the damaged one to a professional seamstress for mending.
- Replacement: When the flag exhibits significant wear, think about purchasing a new one to maintain its appearance during important events.

Flying the Democratic Republic of the Congo Flag:

Raising the Flag:
- Before raising the flag, ensure the flagpole is clean and free from any obstructions.
- If using the Header with Loops finish, attach the reinforced loops to the flagpole using the clips provided. Make sure the flag is oriented correctly.
- For the Vertical Sleeve option, slide the flag onto the pole through the sleeve until it reaches the desired height. Secure it in place to prevent slipping.
Displaying the Flag:
- Position the flag so that it is fully unfurled and can move freely in the wind. Ensure the flag is not touching the ground or any surfaces.
- If displaying multiple flags, the Democratic Republic of the Congo flag should be flown at the same height as other flags and should be positioned to the left from the viewer’s perspective.
- Ensure the flag is displayed with the yellow star at the top left when viewed from the front. This placement reflects the correct representation of the national colours and symbols
Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
- To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole and then lower it to the halfway point.
- When lowering the flag, always bring it down to half-mast in a dignified manner and take care to ensure the flag does not touch the ground.
Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
- The flag should be hoisted at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
- During these times, ensure that the flag is raised and lowered with respect, allowing it to be fully visible and ensuring it is handled with care.
Weather Conditions:
- Be mindful of adverse weather conditions. If strong winds, heavy rain, or storms are forecasted, it is best to lower the flag to prevent damage.
- When flying the flag outdoors, ensure it is made of weather-resistant material, suitable for varying outdoor conditions.
Retirement of the Flag:
- When the flag becomes tattered, faded, or no longer fit for display, it should be retired respectfully.
- A common method of retirement is to burn the flag in a dignified ceremony, ensuring that it is done in a respectful manner that honours the significance of the flag.

By following these guidelines, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for years to come. Caring for your flag is not just about preservation; it’s about honouring the pride and heritage it embodies.
