Care Guidelines for Your São Tomé and Príncipe Flag
Follow these care guidelines to help preserve the flag’s colours, fabric and overall condition.
Cleaning
Gentle washing: Wash with a mild detergent to minimise fading. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
Machine washing: If machine washing is necessary, use cold water on a gentle cycle and place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to reduce snagging.
Air drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat may damage or shrink the fabric.
Storage
Make sure the flag is completely dry before storing it.
Keep it in a cool, dry and protected location to reduce the risk of moisture damage.
Folding the São Tomé and Príncipe Flag
Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface with the front facing upward.
Fold it lengthwise, bringing the bottom edge up to meet the top edge and keeping the edges neatly aligned.
Fold it lengthwise again and smooth out any wrinkles or creases.
Continue folding widthwise into an even rectangular shape until it is compact enough for storage.
Store the folded flag in a protective bag or case to help prevent dust, dirt and damage.
Handling
Avoid sharp objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects and rough surfaces that could cause snags or tears.
Secure installation: Make sure the flag is properly fastened to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
Minimise exposure: Bring the flag indoors during extreme weather and when it is not being used.
Repairs and Replacement
Minor repairs: Small tears or areas of fraying may be repaired carefully or taken to a professional seamstress.
Replacement: Consider replacing the flag once it becomes significantly worn, torn or faded.
Flying the São Tomé and Príncipe Flag
Raising the Flag
Check that the flag is clean and free from damage before raising it.
Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops to the flagpole using the supplied clips or a suitable rope. Make sure the flag is centred and able to hang freely.
Vertical Sleeve: Slide the sleeve over the flagpole and align the flag so the red triangle appears on the left.
Raise the flag carefully and make sure it is fully unfurled and clearly visible.
Displaying the Flag
For horizontal display, position the red triangle on the left.
For vertical display, position the red triangle at the top.
Keep the flag clear of the ground and display it respectfully.
Flying the Flag at Half-Mast
When flying the flag at half-mast, first raise it fully before lowering it to the halfway position.
Before taking the flag down, raise it fully again and then lower it carefully.
Sunrise, Sunset and Overnight Display
The flag may be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
When displayed overnight, ensure it is properly illuminated and remains visible.
Weather Conditions
Avoid flying the flag during heavy rain, storms or high winds, as these conditions can place unnecessary strain on the fabric and fittings.
Lower the flag during severe weather to help reduce wear and damage.
Retiring the Flag
When the flag becomes worn, torn or faded beyond repair, remove it from display respectfully.
Fold and dispose of the flag in a dignified manner that reflects the customs and expectations of the owner or organisation.
Regular cleaning, careful handling and secure storage will help keep your São Tomé and Príncipe flag presentable for future events and displays.
