To maintain the quality and vibrancy of your Maldives flag, please follow these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use mild detergent to clean the flag, helping to preserve its bright colours. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can fade the fabric.
   • 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 any snags.
   • Air Drying: Lay flat or hang the flag to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can cause shrinkage or damage.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storage. Keep it in a cool, dry location to prevent moisture damage.
3. Folding the Maldives Flag:
   • Start by Preparing the Flag: Lay the Maldives flag flat on a clean, dry surface, ensuring that there are no creases or folds in the fabric.
   • First Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, carefully aligning the edges to ensure the crescent symbol is visible.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold it in half lengthwise once more, creating a narrow, elongated strip, with the crescent symbol positioned visibly on one side.
   • Begin Folding from the Striped End: Starting at the end, fold the flag in small, even sections towards the end with the emblem.
   • Secure the Fold: Once the flag is fully folded, smooth out any creases and gently press to maintain its shape. Avoid using any clips or fasteners that might damage the fabric.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp or rough surfaces that could cause tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely attached when displayed to avoid strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: For best preservation, bring the flag inside during extreme weather or overnight.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or frays, replace the flag temporarily and have it repaired by a professional if needed.
   • Replacement: If the flag shows significant wear, consider ordering a new one for a fresh display during key occasions.

Flying the Maldives Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Using the Header with Loops: Attach the flag’s reinforced loops to the flagpole’s hooks or clips, securing them tightly. Confirm that the clips are fastened evenly to avoid the flag twisting or sagging as it is raised.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flagpole through the vertical sleeve pocket, ensuring it is fully inserted and positioned correctly. This method provides a streamlined look and keeps the flag firmly in place during display.
  • Raise the flag briskly and confidently to the top of the pole, demonstrating respect for the symbol it represents. Avoid letting the flag touch the ground or any surrounding objects as it is raised.
• Displaying the Flag
  • When displayed, the Maldives flag should be in a prominent and respected position. If displayed with other flags, place it to the left of any other national flag (as viewed from the audience) or in a superior position to non-national flags.
  • Ensure the flag is hung or flown without obstruction, allowing it to move freely without tangling or becoming entangled in nearby structures.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast
  • For times of national mourning or other solemn occasions, the flag may be flown at half-mast. Begin by raising the flag to the top of the pole briefly, then lower it to a position halfway down the pole.
  • When lowering the flag from half-mast, first raise it back to the top of the pole before bringing it down completely. This honours the symbol of the flag and the occasion being marked.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • The Maldives flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset to honour the beginning and end of each day. When flown overnight, ensure the flag is well-lit to show respect and visibility.
  • Always handle the flag respectfully during these transitions, avoiding any contact with the ground or other objects during raising and lowering.
• Weather Conditions
  • Avoid flying the Maldives flag during severe weather conditions, such as storms or high winds, to prevent damage to the fabric and fastenings. Taking the flag down in poor weather protects it from wear and ensures its longevity.
  • Ensure that the flag is fully dry before refolding or storing to prevent any damage or moulding.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the Maldives flag becomes worn, faded, or damaged beyond repair, retire it respectfully. The preferred method for retirement is burning in a private, dignified manner.
  • For ceremonial or official retirements, consult local guidelines or practices that may offer specific steps to honour the flag’s symbolic significance appropriately.

By following these guidelines, your flag will stay vibrant and in great condition for years. Proper care is not just about maintenance but also showing respect for the pride and heritage it represents.
