Knitted Polyester Russia Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Wash the flag using a mild detergent to preserve their colours. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can 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 up to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat may cause shrinkage or damage to the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Store the flag in a cool, dry place, away from moisture to prevent damage.
3. Folding the Russia Flag:
   • Begin by laying the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface with the flag facing upwards.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise from the hoist side (the side with the grommets or loops) to the fly side, aligning the edges neatly.
   • Once folded lengthwise, fold the flag in half again, ensuring the colours remains visible on the outside.
   • Continue folding the flag into a triangular shape, starting from the hoist side, making crisp, even folds.
   • As you fold, keep the folds tight and uniform, ensuring the flag’s colours remains intact.
   • The final result should be a neatly folded triangle, ready for storage or ceremonial display.
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 prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during extreme weather or overnight to preserve its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, repair the flag or take it to a professional seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, consider replacing it to maintain its appearance during important events.

Flying the Russia Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Ensure the flag is properly folded before raising it.
  • Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops at the top of the flag to the flagpole using clips or ropes, ensuring the flag is securely fastened and able to fly freely.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s side pocket (vertical sleeve) over the flagpole, ensuring it fits snugly and allows the flag to hang evenly.
  • Raise the flag briskly, ensuring it does not touch the ground, and allow it to fly freely at the top of the pole.
• Displaying the Flag
  • The Russia flag should be flown with the white stripe on the top followed by the blue and red stripes when displayed horizontally.
  • When displayed with other flags, the Russia flag should be positioned in the place of honour, to the left of the observer or at the top of a flagpole in a group of flags.
  • Never allow the flag to touch the ground or be used as a covering for objects or people.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast
  • To fly the Russia flag at half-mast, raise it to the top of the pole first, then lower it to the halfway point.
  • Ensure the flag remains in a respectful position and is not left at half-mast unnecessarily.
  • When lowering the flag from half-mast, raise it to the top briefly before bringing it down completely.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
  • If the flag is flown at night, it should be properly illuminated to maintain respect and visibility.
  • If the flag is flown outdoors overnight, ensure it is in good condition and illuminated if necessary.
• Weather Conditions
  • Avoid flying the flag in extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or strong winds, as these can damage the fabric.
  • During harsh weather, it is respectful to lower the flag or bring it inside until conditions improve.
  • If flying the flag during strong winds, ensure the flagpole and attachments are sturdy to avoid potential damage to the flag.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the flag becomes tattered, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • The flag can be burned in a private ceremony or cut into pieces and buried in a respectful manner.
  • It is important to retire the flag in a way that honours its symbolism and heritage, ensuring it is disposed of with dignity.

By following these guidelines, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for years to come. Proper care not only preserves the flag’s appearance but also honours the pride and heritage it represents.
