Knitted Polyester Uzbekistan Flag

To preserve the flag’s vivid colours and ensure long-lasting quality, please follow these care recommendations:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Clean your flag with mild detergent to help maintain its bright colours. Avoid bleach or any strong chemicals that may harm the fabric.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, use a cold water gentle cycle. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snags.
   • Air Drying: Air dry the flag flat or hang it up. Avoid tumble drying as the heat can damage or shrink the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Make sure your flag is completely dry before putting it away. Store it in a dry, cool space to avoid moisture-related damage.
3. Folding the Uzbekistan Flag:
   • Begin with a clean, flat surface and make sure the flag is completely dry and free from creases.
   • Lay the flag face up, with the crescent and stars in the upper left corner (the blue stripe at the top).
   • Fold the flag vertically in half, bringing the green stripe up over the blue stripe. Align the edges neatly.
   • Fold vertically once more, this time bringing the white stripe over the green, maintaining alignment for a straight edge.
   • Now fold the flag horizontally, bringing the fly end (opposite the hoist) toward the hoist side.
   • Repeat the horizontal fold until the flag reaches a compact, rectangular shape that fits neatly for storage or presentation.
   • Make sure the crescent and stars remain visible on the top layer when folding for ceremonial or display purposes.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Prevent contact with sharp items or rough surfaces that might cause tearing or fraying.
   • Secure Installation: Display the flag with strong, stable attachments to reduce movement-related strain.
   • Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during heavy rain, strong winds, or overnight to prolong its life.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If you notice minor damage, retire the flag temporarily and consult a professional seamstress for mending.
   • Replacement: If the flag is significantly worn or faded, consider replacing it to maintain a respectable appearance.

Flying the Uzbekistan Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Using Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops at the top of the flag to the sister clips provided. Secure the clips to your halyard or rope and raise steadily.
  • Using Vertical Sleeve: Gently slide the flagpole through the side sleeve until fully extended. Properly align the sleeve and hang the flag smoothly before raising the pole upright.
  • Always hoist the flag briskly and with confidence, making sure it does not touch the ground or any objects during the process.
  • The flag should be attached securely to the halyard or pole fittings to prevent tangling or slipping.
  • On formal occasions, the raising should be accompanied by a respectful pause or the national anthem where appropriate.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • The Uzbekistan flag should be displayed with the blue stripe at the top and the crescent and stars positioned in the top-left corner (hoist side).
  • When hung vertically, rotate the flag so the blue stripe is on the right and the crescent faces downwards.
  • It must always be given prominence when flown with other flags — placed in the centre, above, or to the left of other banners depending on the arrangement.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the Uzbekistan flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole briefly, then lower it to the halfway position.
  • This position is typically used during periods of national mourning or to honour significant losses.
  • Before taking the flag down, raise it once more to the top of the mast before lowering it fully.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The flag should ideally be raised at sunrise and taken down at sunset unless illuminated properly for night display.
  • It should never be flown in total darkness unless a spotlight or floodlight keeps it clearly visible.
  • During lowering, do so slowly and with dignity, allowing for any ceremonial observance.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during extreme weather such as heavy rain, storms, or strong winds to prevent damage.
  • If a weather-resistant flag is used and left flying, inspect it regularly to ensure it remains in good condition.
  • A tattered or waterlogged flag should be taken down promptly to preserve its dignity.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired in a respectful manner.
  • Do not discard the flag in the rubbish — consider ceremonial burning or contact a relevant organisation for proper disposal.
  • Folding and storing the flag with respect until it can be retired appropriately reflects the national pride it symbolises.

By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant appearance and last through many memorable moments. Caring for your flag is a meaningful way to respect its symbolism and the nation it represents.
