Knitted Polyester Kyrgyzstan Flag

To ensure lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Kyrgyzstan flag, please adhere to the following care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Always clean 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 inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to air dry. Refrain from tumble drying, as high temperatures can shrink or damage 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 Kyrgyzstan Flag:
   • Lay Flat: Begin by laying the flag flat on a clean surface, ensuring the front side (the side with the emblem) is facing downwards.
   • First Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the two shorter edges together. Make sure the edges align evenly to avoid creases.
   • Second Fold: Repeat the lengthwise fold, halving the flag again, ensuring the edges remain aligned.
   • Create Triangular Folds: Starting at the open (fly) end of the flag, make a triangular fold by bringing the corner up towards the hoist (the side with the pole). The point of the triangle should touch the hoist edge of the flag.
   • Continue Triangular Folds: Fold the triangle back over itself, creating another triangle. Repeat this process, working your way towards the hoist, until the entire flag is folded into a compact triangular shape.
   • Final Adjustments: Once you reach the hoist side, tuck any excess fabric under the folded triangles to create a neat finish.
   • Secure for Storage: Store the folded flag in a protective container or on a soft surface to maintain its shape and prevent creasing.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects or rough surfaces that might cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is firmly attached when displayed to avoid unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take down the flag during severe weather or overnight to help preserve its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider patching the flag and consulting a professional seamstress for repair.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows signs of significant wear, think about purchasing a new one to maintain its appearance during important events.

Flying the Kyrgyzstan Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Begin by ensuring the flagpole is clean and free from obstructions.
  • Using the Header with Loops: If your flag features a header with loops, thread the halyard through the loops before securing it to the pole. This will provide a sturdy attachment that allows for easy raising and lowering.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: For flags with a vertical sleeve, simply slide the flag over the pole until the top is securely positioned. Ensure that the flag is fully unfurled to display it properly.
  • Raise the flag briskly to the top of the pole, taking care not to let it touch the ground, as this could be seen as disrespectful.
  • Once at the top, ensure the flag is properly secured to prevent it from falling or becoming tangled.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • When displaying the Kyrgyzstan flag, ensure that the emblem is facing forward and is visible to all.
  • If hanging the flag vertically, the emblem should be positioned at the centre and to the left as viewed by observers.
  • The flag should be displayed prominently in a location where it can be easily seen, such as at the front of buildings or during public events.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole, then lower it to the halfway point.
  • This gesture is typically done in remembrance of those who have passed away or to commemorate significant events.
  • Ensure that the flag remains securely fastened at this lowered position and is not left unattended.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset to observe proper etiquette.
  • If the flag is illuminated during the night, it may be flown continuously, but it should still be lowered at sunset when not lit.
  • This practice signifies respect and honour for the flag and what it represents.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Be mindful of weather conditions when flying the flag.
  • It is advisable to lower the flag during severe weather events, such as storms or high winds, to prevent damage.
  • If the flag becomes wet due to rain, allow it to dry before folding or storing it, as this will help maintain its integrity.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When a flag becomes frayed, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it is important to retire it respectfully.
  • The recommended method is to burn the flag in a dignified manner, ensuring that it is done safely and privately.
  • Consider holding a small ceremony to honour the flag’s service before its retirement, reflecting the respect and pride associated with it.

By adhering to these guidelines, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and stay in excellent condition for many years. Caring for your flag is not only about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it embodies.
