Knitted Polyester Romania Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Always use a mild detergent to clean the flag and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach that may cause fading or damage to the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. For extra protection, place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent any damage.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry naturally. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the high heat may shrink or distort the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry, and safe place, away from moisture, to prevent any potential damage.
3. Folding the Romania Flag:
   • Start with the flag flat: Lay the flag on a clean, flat surface with the blue stripe on the left, the yellow stripe in the middle, and the red stripe on the right.
   • First fold lengthwise: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the right edge (red stripe) over to align with the left edge (blue stripe). The yellow stripe should be on the inside, hidden from view.
   • Second fold lengthwise: Fold the flag in half again, this time aligning the top and bottom edges. The flag should now be a long, narrow strip with all three colours folded inside.
   • Fold in thirds: Starting from one end, fold the flag into thirds, ensuring the colours remain concealed. Each fold should be neat and even, maintaining the flag’s integrity.
   • Final fold: If the flag is large, you may need to fold it one more time to make it compact for storage. Ensure the flag is folded neatly with no wrinkles.
   • Store properly: Once folded, place the flag in a protective bag or box to avoid dust, moisture, and wear.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp or abrasive surfaces that may cause rips, tears, or snags.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly attached to prevent undue strain on the fabric, especially in windy conditions.
   • Minimise Exposure: During extreme weather or overnight, bring the flag down to preserve its colour and fabric integrity.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, it’s best to replace the flag. However, you can take it to a professional seamstress for repairs if necessary.
   • Replacement: If the flag becomes significantly worn, replacing it ensures it continues to reflect the pride and beauty of Romania during special occasions.

Flying the Romania Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Using the Header with Loops: Attach the flag’s reinforced loops to the flagpole using the appropriate clips or hooks. Raise the flag smoothly, ensuring it is securely fastened at the top.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s vertical sleeve over the flagpole, ensuring it is positioned properly and is secure. Once in place, raise the flag to the top of the pole, ensuring it is fully unfurled and displayed correctly.
  • The flag should be raised in a manner that allows it to fly freely without obstruction, ensuring the colours are clearly visible.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • When displayed horizontally, the flag should be positioned with the blue stripe on the left, followed by the yellow stripe in the centre and the red stripe on the right.
  • If displayed vertically, the blue stripe should be on the top, with the yellow stripe in the middle and the red stripe on the bottom.
  • The flag should be displayed in a prominent location, ensuring it is clearly visible and flown with respect.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, raise the flag to the top of the pole first, then lower it to the halfway point.
  • The flag should be flown at half-mast to honour a national or significant occasion such as a national day of mourning or a remembrance event.
  • Always return the flag to full mast after the period of mourning or commemoration has ended.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The Romania flag should be raised at sunrise and taken down at sunset, unless it is illuminated during the night.
  • If flown at night, ensure the flag is properly lit so it remains visible and maintains its dignity.
  • If the flag is to be taken down at sunset, do so promptly to avoid any risk of damage from the elements.
• Weather Conditions:
  • The flag should not be flown during inclement weather such as heavy rain, snow, or high winds, as these conditions can damage the fabric.
  • If possible, bring the flag down during severe weather to protect its colours and fabric.
  • In mild weather conditions, the flag can be displayed freely, but care should always be taken to prevent wear from prolonged exposure.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the Romania flag becomes worn, torn, or faded beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • The flag should be properly folded and disposed of in a dignified manner, ideally by burning or burying it in a private ceremony.
  • If you are unsure how to retire the flag, seek guidance from a local government or veteran organisation to ensure it is done respectfully.

By following these simple care instructions, your flag will remain vibrant and in top condition for years to come. Taking care of your flag honours the heritage and pride it represents.
