Umbrella Care and Maintenance
Regular care and maintenance of your umbrella is essential.
The following points will assist in keeping it looking smart and clean while also ensuring its ongoing performance and reliability.
Note that we recommend that the SU2 umbrella be closed in windy conditions and where the umbrella is not positioned through
an umbrella table, the umbrella base should be securely bolted to the ground for maximum stability.
• Always place the Protection Cover over the umbrella when not in use.
• Close and cover your umbrella in adverse conditions, this includes rain, snow, hail and high wind.
• Take care when opening or closing the umbrella, always check for obstacles fi rst (ie: trees, ladders, furniture, people).
• Umbrella should never be left stored/collapsed for long periods while wet. Always ensure that the fabric is thoroughly dried
before storing or closing for long periods of time.
• Any early signs of mould or mildew must be removed immediately.
• Umbrella canopy is removable and fully washable. Clean fabric using cold or warm water and mild natural soap. Always
rinse thoroughly and leave to dry in the open air – do not put in clothes dryer.
• Never clean any part of the umbrella with a corrosive/abrasive product or a high pressure hose.
• Never use waterproofi ng or cleaning sprays on umbrella fabric without seeking appropriate advice fi rst.
• All moving parts on the umbrella are best maintained with an annual application of dry lubricator, such as dry contact
silicone spray.
FABRIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
SHADOWSPEC Umbrella canopies are manufactured from some of the most durable and state-of-the-art marine fabrics and
threads available, including Sunbrella and Dickson-Constant acrylic fabrics, along with other proven high-performance, UV
stable materials. SHADOWSPEC Umbrella canopies should be cleaned regularly before dirt is allowed to accumulate and become
embedded in the fabric. The fabric canopy can be cleaned without being removed from the frame, however, the canopy can
be completely removed from the frame if preferred. Simply brush off any loose dirt or particles, hose down and clean with a
mild soap in lukewarm water (no more than 37° C.) Rinse thoroughly to remove soap. Allow fabric to air dry. Do not use heavy
detergents.
For stubborn stains, '303' Fabric Cleaner is recommended although as with any cleaner, it is advisable to trial a small area of the
fabric fi rst to ensure no adverse eff ect or discolouration occurs.
Following cleaning it is also then advisable to re-treat the fabric with a water repellency application again. We recommend '303'
Protectant for this purpose.
When washing or cleaning, DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT as the fabric will shrink. DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN
ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYERS, but allow air to dry. In cases where the umbrella is taken down and stored during the winter season,
the canopy should be cleaned, allowed to air dry, and stored in a dry, well ventilated area. A Protection Cover should be used at
all times when umbrella is not in use to ensure the longest serviceable life.
