Knitted Polyester Moldova Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Wash the flag with a mild detergent to prevent fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may affect 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 avoid any damage from snags.
   • 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.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep the flag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.
3. Folding the Moldova Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface with the design facing up.
   • Start by folding the flag lengthwise, aligning the right edge with the left, ensuring the coat of arms is facing inward.
   • Once folded in half, take the bottom edge and fold it upwards towards the top, creating a neat and even fold.
   • Fold the flag again along the same axis, ensuring that the coat of arms is positioned in the centre, keeping it visible as the flag is folded further.
   • For a compact fold, continue folding the flag in thirds until it is small and tidy.
   • For safe storage, make sure that no part of the flag is exposed to prevent wear or unnecessary strain on the fabric.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects or rough surfaces that could cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened when displayed to avoid any unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Bring the flag down during extreme weather or overnight to maintain its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, have the flag professionally repaired by a seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag begins to show significant wear, consider replacing it to maintain its appearance and integrity during important occasions.

Flying the Moldova Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is clean and free from any obstructions that may hinder the flag’s movement.
  • Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops at the top of the flag to the flagpole using clips or ropes. Ensure the flag is securely fastened to prevent it from slipping or tangling while being raised.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s vertical sleeve over the flagpole, ensuring it fits snugly and that the flag is centred. Make sure the flag is aligned properly, with the coat of arms facing outward, and the pole is securely fastened at the top to prevent it from slipping.
  • The flag should be hoisted briskly but smoothly to avoid it dragging or touching the ground.
  • Always raise the flag high enough so that it is fully visible and displayed proudly.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • The flag should be flown in a prominent position where it is visible from all sides.
  • If the Moldova flag is flown alongside other flags, ensure it is positioned to the far left (from the observer’s view) and at the same height as the other flags, never below or above them.
  • When displayed indoors, ensure that the flag is mounted in a way that does not touch the floor, and it should always be displayed with the coat of arms facing outwards.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the Moldova flag at half-mast, first raise the flag to the top of the pole and then lower it to the halfway point.
  • Flying the flag at half-mast is often a sign of mourning or respect. This should be done in line with national observances or significant events.
  • After the observance ends, raise the flag back to full mast as a symbol of hope and renewal.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. If lighting is available, the flag can be flown overnight, but it should be illuminated properly to ensure it is visible and respected.
  • At sunrise, raise the flag briskly to full mast; at sunset, lower it slowly and with respect, ensuring it is not allowed to touch the ground.
• Weather Conditions:
  • The Moldova flag should not be flown in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds, or snow, as these conditions can damage the fabric.
  • If bad weather is expected, it is recommended to bring the flag down to protect it. Always store the flag in a dry, safe place during harsh weather.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag is no longer in suitable condition due to wear or damage, it should be retired in a dignified manner. This can involve either repairing the flag or replacing it.
  • To retire the flag, it should be folded respectfully, and if the flag is beyond repair, it may be destroyed, ideally by burning, in a manner that honours the flag’s significance.

By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for years to come. Caring for your flag not only preserves its quality but also honours the national pride it represents.
