Home Improvement - LAWN FURNITURE - SUN UMBRELLAS - CARE AND CLEANING

Sun Umbrellas--Care and Cleaning
Care
Close during heavy rain and high wind, but open after
storm so dirt won't collect in folds. Store for winter
clean and dry.

Cleaning
Clean either coarse fabric (sun protector) or vinyl
with mild detergent and water solution, and rinse with
hose. Dry completely before storing. Dry in open
position.

Vinyl umbrellas that will not come clean with
detergent, may be cleaned with an auto vinyl-top cleaner.
Protective vinyl finishes for auto tops or upholstery may
be applied when clean. This is easier to do if umbrella
is spread on a clean flat firm surface such as driveway
or garage floor.
