Knitted Polyester Oman Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, avoiding bleach or harsh chemicals to preserve its colours.
   • Machine Wash: Opt for a gentle cycle with cold water if machine washing is necessary. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent damage.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can weaken the fabric or cause shrinkage.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place. This helps prevent mould and moisture damage.
3. Folding the Oman Flag:
   • Begin by laying the flag on a clean, flat surface with the emblem side facing up. Ensure the fabric is smoothed out to avoid creases.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise, bringing the bottom edge (green stripe) up to align with the top edge (white stripe), ensuring the emblem remains visible.
   • Repeat the lengthwise fold, aligning the edges carefully to maintain a neat and even shape.
   • Starting from the end opposite the emblem, fold the flag into equal sections, working toward the emblem to preserve its visibility and significance.
   • Once folded, secure the flag gently, ensuring it is compact and free of wrinkles, ready for storage or ceremonial presentation.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges or rough surfaces that could cause tears.
   • Secure Installation: When displaying the flag, ensure it is securely fastened to minimise stress on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during extreme weather or overnight to extend its lifespan.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consult a professional seamstress to restore the flag.
   • Replacement: Replace the flag if it shows signs of extensive wear to maintain its dignity during significant events.

Flying the Oman Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Begin the process with the utmost respect. Ensure the flag is properly folded before attaching it to the flagpole.
  • Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops to the halyard hooks securely. Ensure the sister clips are fastened to prevent slippage during hoisting.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the pole smoothly through the sleeve, ensuring the flag is fully extended and the emblem is correctly aligned.
  • Hoist the flag briskly to the top of the pole to signify pride and respect for the nation.
• Displaying the Flag
  • When displayed horizontally, ensure the emblem is in the upper left corner, as viewed from the front.
  • Avoid letting the flag touch the ground or any other surface. If displayed with other flags, the Oman flag should always be in a position of prominence, such as the centre or at a higher elevation.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast
  • To signify mourning, first raise the flag briskly to the top of the pole, then lower it slowly to the half-mast position.
  • The flag should rest approximately one-third of the pole’s height from the top.
  • When removing the flag, raise it to the top again briefly before lowering it completely.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • The flag should be raised after sunrise and taken down before sunset.
  • If flown at night, ensure the flag is illuminated with appropriate lighting.
• Weather Conditions
  • Avoid flying the flag during inclement weather, such as heavy rain or strong winds, to prevent damage.
  • Always inspect the flag after exposure to adverse conditions and clean or repair it as needed.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the flag is no longer in a condition suitable for display, retire it respectfully.
  • The flag should be folded neatly and stored or disposed of in a dignified manner, such as ceremonial burning or recycling through a dedicated flag retirement program.

By adhering to these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant appearance and durability, allowing it to symbolise national pride for years to come. Proper care reflects the respect and honour that the Oman flag deserves.
