Knitted Polyester Saudi Arabia Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, avoiding bleach or harsh chemicals that may fade or damage the colours.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water and place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or weaken the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry, and safe location to prevent moisture damage or mould.
3. Folding the Saudi Arabia Flag:
   • Prepare a Clean Surface: Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface to prevent dirt or creases. Ensure the Shahada and sword are visible and properly aligned.
   • Initial Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise in half, taking care to align the edges precisely. The Shahada should remain fully visible, with the sword pointing to the left.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise again, creating a long, narrow rectangle. Ensure the Shahada and sword remain oriented correctly.
   • Horizontal Folds: Begin folding the flag horizontally into equal sections, starting from the side opposite the sword. Continue folding until the flag forms a compact rectangle.
   • Final Check: Ensure the folded flag is neat, with no creases obscuring the Shahada or sword. Adjust as needed to maintain a respectful and tidy appearance.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges or rough surfaces to prevent snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is firmly attached when displayed to avoid unnecessary strain on the material.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during extreme weather conditions or overnight to prolong its lifespan.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, take the flag to a professional seamstress for repair.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, consider replacing it to maintain its dignity and appearance.

Flying the Saudi Arabia Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops to the halyard clips or hooks, ensuring a secure connection. Pull the halyard steadily to raise the flag smoothly.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s sleeve over the pole, ensuring it fits snugly. Adjust the flag’s position to display the Shahada and sword properly before securing the pole in place.
  • During official ceremonies or events, accompany the raising of the flag with a moment of silence or the national anthem to honour its significance.
• Displaying the Flag
  • When displayed horizontally, ensure the Shahada is readable from left to right, and the sword points to the left.
  • Avoid placing the flag on the ground or using it as a covering, as this is considered disrespectful. Always display it in a prominent position above other flags.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole briefly, then lower it to a position where it is one-third of the way down the pole.
  • When lowering the flag from half-mast, raise it to the top of the pole again before bringing it down completely.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. Ensure it is not left flying in darkness unless it is illuminated appropriately.
  • During lowering, handle the flag with care, ensuring it does not touch the ground.
• Weather Conditions
  • Avoid flying the flag during extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or strong winds, to prevent damage.
  • If the flag becomes wet, dry it completely before storing or displaying it again to maintain its appearance and longevity.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the flag becomes too worn or damaged to be displayed respectfully, retire it with dignity. Never discard the flag casually; instead, consider a formal retirement ceremony.
  • The retired flag should be disposed of in a manner that honours its significance, such as burial or incineration, following local customs or guidelines.

By adhering to these care and handling guidelines, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and pristine condition for years to come. Proper care not only preserves the flag but also honours the heritage and pride it represents.
