Knitted Polyester Qatar Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Wash the flag with a mild detergent to protect the colours from fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. To prevent snagging, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying as high heat may shrink or damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent damage.
3. Folding the Qatar Flag:
   • Lay the Flag Flat: Start by laying the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface, ensuring the fabric is free of wrinkles.
   • First Fold (Lengthwise): Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the hoist side (the side with the loops or sleeve) towards the fly side, aligning the edges neatly.
   • Second Fold (Lengthwise): Fold the flag in half again lengthwise, this time bringing the two long edges together, ensuring the colours remain visible and the edges are aligned.
   • Third Fold (Widthwise): Fold the flag in thirds, starting from the hoist side. Begin by folding one end towards the centre, then fold the other end over it, creating a compact rectangle.
   • Final Adjustments: Smooth out any creases or wrinkles to ensure the flag is folded neatly and securely, with the colours visible on the outside.
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 attached when displayed to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Bring the flag indoors during extreme weather or overnight to preserve its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider repairing the flag or taking it to a professional seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, it may be time to replace it to maintain its appearance during important events.

Flying the Qatar Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • When raising the flag, ensure it is securely attached to the flagpole with the hoist side (the side with the loops or sleeve) at the top.
  • Raise the flag briskly, ensuring it does not touch the ground during the process. It should be flown high, allowing the full design to be visible.
  • Ensure the flag is raised to the top of the pole, unless it is being flown at half-mast.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • The Qatar flag should be displayed with the white portion of the flag positioned at the hoist side (the side closest to the pole) and the maroon section facing outward.
  • The flag should be displayed fully extended, free from wrinkles or folds, ensuring it is clearly visible from all sides.
  • If flying multiple flags, the Qatar flag should be flown in a position of honour, at the same height or higher than other flags.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the Qatar flag at half-mast, first raise the flag to the top of the pole, then lower it to a position halfway between the top and bottom of the flagpole.
  • This is typically done to mark a period of mourning or remembrance. Once the flag is lowered, it should be flown at this position until it is time to raise it again.
  • Always ensure the flag is returned to full height after the period of mourning has ended.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. If the flag is displayed overnight, ensure it is illuminated by a light source to maintain proper visibility.
  • If flying the flag at night without proper lighting, it is recommended to take the flag down to prevent wear from exposure to the elements.
• Weather Conditions:
  • The Qatar flag should be flown in fair weather, but during strong winds, heavy rain, or storms, it is best to lower the flag to prevent damage.
  • If the flag is flown in harsh weather conditions, ensure it is checked regularly for any wear or tear, and consider bringing it down if necessary to protect its integrity.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the Qatar flag becomes worn, torn, or faded beyond repair, it should be retired in a respectful manner.
  • The flag should be carefully folded and either burned or disposed of in a dignified way, ensuring that it is treated with the respect it deserves.
  • Contact a local authority or community group for guidance on the proper retirement process if you are unsure of how to proceed.

By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and remain in top condition for many years. Taking care of your flag is not just about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
