Instruction manual
1
In a semi-folded state, soak the umbrella in warm, soapy water. Then open it and rinse thoroughly under the shower. After rinsing, wipe the surface with a sponge dipped in vinegar (dilute 2 tablespoons of vinegar in 1 liter of water) and dry open. If the umbrella is very dirty, clean it with a solution of ammonia (half a glass of ammonia per liter of water).
2
If the umbrella is slightly dusty, clean it with a soft brush dipped in a detergent solution for woolen and synthetic fabrics. Never use acetone, kerosene, gasoline or other solvents for cleaning.
3
If a redhead appears on a black umbrella, then take a brush, moisten it in a broth of strong tea and wipe the cloth. Thus, you will return the color of the umbrella. Wipe rust stains with lemon juice, then rinse the cleaned surface with water and hold over steam.
4
Polish the metal pole of the umbrella with car wax. It will not only protect the metal, but also facilitate cleaning. Only work with wax gently, if it gets on the fabric - stains will remain.
5
Proper drying is very important for umbrellas. Dry the umbrella half open, away from batteries and other heating appliances. If you leave the umbrella open completely, this leads to loosening of the spokes and deformation of the fabric. Then gently fold the dome fabric around the frame and pack it in the case. Never put a wet umbrella in a case, otherwise an unpleasant odor will appear, and spots may form on the fabric and mold will form.

A parasol also needs care. At the end of summer, it becomes dull and dusty. Open the umbrella and gently clean the cloth with mild detergents: soap or gel. Then rinse the umbrella thoroughly with running water, and after drying, fold it into a cover.
7
Store umbrellas in a dry place at a moderate temperature. They do not like heat above 30 ° C and cold below 10 ° C. Follow these recommendations and you will extend the life of your umbrella for a long time.
