To ensure the longevity and vibrant appearance of your product, please follow these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Clean your Torres Strait Islands flag with mild detergent to help preserve its vibrant colours. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, which can cause discolouration.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the product in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snags.
   • Drying: Air dry the product by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid tumble drying as high heat can lead to shrinkage and fabric damage.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep the flag in a cool, dry place to protect it from moisture and heat that could lead to damage.
3. Folding the Torres Strait Islands Flag:
   • Lay the flag out flat with the symbol side facing upwards.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, ensuring the top edge is aligned with the bottom edge.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise again, bringing the folded edge to meet the bottom.
   • Starting from the hoist (left) side, fold the flag into triangular sections until you reach the end.
   • Tuck the remaining fabric into the folds to secure the flag neatly for storage.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Protect your flag from sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that can lead to tears or snags.
   • Ensure Proper Installation: Always make sure the flags are raised securely and are able to fly freely without obstructions.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If small tears or fraying appear, promptly switch to a spare flag and consult a professional seamstress to repair the damage.
   • Replacement: When your flag shows significant wear, consider replacing it with a new one, especially before important events or ceremonies, to ensure it looks its best.

Flying the Torres Strait Islands Flag:

• Correct Orientation: Ensure the Dhari symbol is at the top centre with the white five-pointed star below, maintaining cultural significance.
• Flag Height: The Torres Strait Islands Flag should be hoisted on a flagpole tall enough to allow it to fly freely without touching the ground or any surrounding structures.
• Daylight Flying: Typically, the flag should be raised in the morning and taken down at dusk. However, if the flag is illuminated, it may remain flying throughout the night, ensuring it remains visible.
• Weather Conditions: Take the flag down in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, rain, or storms to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. Extreme conditions can cause the flag to fade, fray, or tear prematurely, so removing it during such times helps extend its life.
• Respectful Display: f flying multiple flags, the Torres Strait Islands Flag should be given a position of honour, typically on the left as viewed from the front, or on the highest pole if flown alongside other flags.
• Lowering: When lowering the Torres Strait Islands Flag, ensure that it is done with care, avoiding the flag touching the ground. Once lowered, fold the flag using the proper folding technique to ensure it remains in good condition.
• Half-Mast: When flying the flag at half-mast, raise it to the peak for a brief moment before lowering it to a position halfway down the flagpole. This symbolises respect and mourning for significant events or during periods of remembrance.

By following these care instructions, you’ll maintain the integrity and vibrancy of your Torres Strait Islands flag for many years. Caring for your flag reflects your respect and pride in your heritage, ensuring it remains a powerful symbol of identity and cultural pride.
