To maintain the flag’s durability and vibrant colours, follow these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to prevent fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may affect the fabric’s colours.
   • Machine Wash: If necessary, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Placing the flag in a mesh laundry bag helps prevent snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as heat may cause shrinkage or fabric damage.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: The flag should be completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry location to prevent moisture-related damage.
3. Folding the Sri Lanka Flag:
   • Lay the Flag Flat: Place the flag on a clean, flat surface with the lion emblem facing upwards to ensure proper alignment.
   • Fold Lengthwise: Carefully fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge, ensuring the emblem and symbols remain visible.
   • Fold Again Lengthwise: Repeat the fold lengthwise, keeping the lion emblem and other elements neatly aligned.
   • Create a Compact Rectangle: Fold the flag inward from both sides, ensuring the national symbols remain undistorted.
   • Store Respectfully: Place the neatly folded flag in a dry, safe location, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its fabric and colours.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep away from rough surfaces or sharp objects that could cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is firmly attached when displayed to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: To extend longevity, take the flag down during extreme weather or overnight.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, take the flag to a professional seamstress for repair.
   • Replacement: If the flag shows extensive wear, consider replacing it to maintain its vibrant appearance.

Flying the Sri Lanka Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Using the Header with Loops: Secure the reinforced loops to the halyard clips, ensuring a firm grip before raising the flag smoothly up the pole.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flagpole through the sleeve until it reaches the top, ensuring the flag hangs evenly without twisting.
  • Raise the flag briskly and confidently as a sign of respect. It should always be hoisted to the top of the pole without hesitation.
  • If raising multiple flags, the Sri Lanka flag must be positioned higher or to the right when displayed with other national flags.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • The flag should always be displayed in a dignified manner. The lion emblem and sword should face outward and are fully visible.
  • When mounted on a wall, the flag should be hung flat with the yellow border surrounding the design properly aligned.
  • If draped over a podium or table, avoid letting the flag touch the ground or be used as a covering.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To signal mourning, the flag should first be raised to the top of the pole before being slowly lowered to half-mast.
  • The flag should remain at half-mast from sunrise to sunset on designated national mourning days or in response to official government announcements.
  • Before lowering the flag for the day, it must first be raised to the top before being taken down completely.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The Sri Lanka flag should be raised in the morning at sunrise and lowered respectfully at sunset.
  • If displayed at night, it must be illuminated to ensure it remains clearly visible.
  • During lowering, the flag should be handled with care and folded properly before storage.
• Weather Conditions:
  • The flag should not be flown during extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain or strong winds, as this may cause damage.
  • If the flag becomes wet, it should be dried completely before being stored or raised again.
  • Regularly inspect the flag for wear and tear, ensuring it remains in good condition for public display.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • A flag that is damaged, torn, or faded should be replaced promptly to maintain the dignity of the national symbol.
  • The retired flag should be respectfully disposed of by burning or in accordance with official national guidelines.
  • Avoid discarding the flag in a disrespectful manner, such as throwing it away with general waste.

By following these care instructions, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for years to come. Caring for your flag is a meaningful way to honour the heritage and pride it represents.
