Cleaning Your Parasol Fabric
An Olefin parasol fabric is easy to clean:
- Remove loose dirt such as dust, sand, and pollen
- Gently clean with lukewarm water, a soft brush or sponge, and mild soap
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue
- Let the parasol dry completely in the open air before closing
⚠️ Warning: do not use pressure washers, abrasive brushes, bleach, or aggressive detergents, as these can damage the fibers and protective coating.
Proper storage at the end of the season is crucial
- Clean the Olefin fabric before winter
- Allow the fabric to dry completely
- Store the offset parasol with the protective cover in a dry, ventilated space
- Avoid storing in damp areas
