British Indian Ocean Territory Flag Care Instructions

To help maintain the appearance and longevity of your British Indian Ocean Territory Flag, follow these simple care guidelines.

1. Cleaning
   • Gentle Washing: Wash with mild detergent to help preserve colour and fabric quality. Avoid bleach or harsh cleaning products.
   • Machine Washing: If machine washing is required, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place the flag in a mesh laundry bag for added protection.
   • Air Drying: Hang or lay the flag flat to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat may damage the fabric.
2. Storage
   • Store Dry: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing in a cool, dry location to help prevent moisture damage.
3. Folding the Flag
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean surface with the design facing upward.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the top and bottom edges.
   • Fold lengthwise again to create a long, narrow strip.
   • Starting from one end, fold diagonally to create a triangular shape, continuing until the entire flag is folded.
   • Tuck the remaining fabric neatly into the final fold for secure storage.
4. Handling
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from rough surfaces that may cause tears or snags.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is correctly attached when displayed to minimise unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Weather Protection: Remove the flag during severe weather conditions or when not in use for extended periods.
5. Repairs
   • Minor Repairs: Small tears or loose stitching should be repaired promptly to prevent further damage.
   • Replacement: If the flag becomes heavily worn or faded, replacement may be the best option for maintaining a professional display.

Flying the British Indian Ocean Territory Flag

• Raising the Flag
  • Ensure the flag is securely attached to the flagpole, halyard, or mounting hardware before raising.
  • Raise the flag carefully, ensuring it is fully unfurled and free from tangles.
• Displaying the Flag
  • Position the flag where it can fly freely without obstruction.
  • Ensure the design is correctly orientated and clearly visible.
• Flying at Half-Mast
  • Raise the flag to the top of the pole before lowering it to the half-mast position.
  • When returning to full display, raise the flag to the top before lowering it completely.
• Day and Night Display
  • Traditionally, flags are raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
  • If displayed overnight, appropriate illumination is recommended.
• Weather Conditions
  • Avoid displaying the flag during extreme weather, including strong winds, storms, or heavy rain.
  • Lower and store the flag if severe weather is expected.
