For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Sierra Leone flag, please follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning:
Gentle Washing: Always wash the flag with a mild detergent to minimise fading. Avoid bleach or any harsh chemicals that could damage the colours.
Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent damage.
Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat may shrink or damage the fabric.
Storage:
Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is fully dry before storing it. Keep the flag in a cool, dry, and safe location to prevent moisture damage.
Folding the Sierra Leone Flag:
Begin by laying the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface.
Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to align with the bottom edge.
Fold the flag in half again, this time aligning the top edge with the bottom edge.
Continue folding the flag in smaller, even sections, ensuring the folds are neat and aligned, until the flag is compact and easy to store.
For a more uniform fold, gently smooth out any creases as you go, keeping the flag's edges straight and tidy.
Handling:
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects or rough surfaces that may cause snags or tears.
Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened when displayed, preventing any unnecessary strain on the fabric.
Minimise Exposure: Bring the flag down during extreme weather or overnight to preserve its condition.
Repairs:
Minor Repairs: For any small tears or fraying, replace the flag and take the damaged one to a professional seamstress for repair.
Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, consider purchasing a new one to maintain its appearance during important occasions.
Flying the Sierra Leone Flag:
Raising the Flag
Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops to the halyard or pole, ensuring the flag is securely fastened.
Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag's vertical sleeve onto the flagpole, ensuring it fits snugly.
When raising the Sierra Leone flag, do so briskly and with purpose, ensuring it reaches the top of the pole without delay. This demonstrates respect for the national symbol.
Displaying the Flag
The Sierra Leone flag should always be displayed with the green section at the top, followed by the white and blue, ensuring it is properly oriented.
When displayed with other flags, the Sierra Leone flag must occupy the position of honour, typically on the far left or centre from the observer's view if multiple flags are flown at the same height.
Indoors, the flag should be positioned on the right side of the speaker or stage, symbolising prominence and respect.
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 approximately halfway down the pole.
Ensure the flag is not so low that it obstructs visibility or touches the ground.
When lowering the flag at the end of the day, raise it to the top of the pole before fully bringing it down.
Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
The Sierra Leone flag should only be flown from sunrise to sunset unless it is properly illuminated during the night.
If flown at night, ensure bright, focused lighting enhances its visibility without casting shadows or obscuring its design.
Weather Conditions
Avoid flying the flag during severe weather, such as strong winds, heavy rain, or storms, to prevent damage to the fabric.
If unexpected bad weather occurs, lower the flag promptly and store it in a dry, safe place to maintain its condition.
Retirement of the Flag
When the Sierra Leone flag becomes worn or damaged, retire it respectfully. Do not discard it in a casual manner.
Fold the flag neatly and consider recycling it through a flag disposal program or ceremonial burning, adhering to national customs and guidelines.
By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and remain in top condition for many years. Taking care of your flag is not just about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
