Can a parasol be washed? What should I do if the parasol is caught in the rain?

Parasols are often used by everyone. Some parasols cannot be exposed to rain. If the umbrella surface is not dry after rain, it will not be able to protect against ultraviolet rays, so you must pay attention.

It can be washed with water. Parasols are a must-have for sun protection in summer. Compared with other sun protection methods, parasols are the best physical sun protection tool.

1. Add a little detergent and let it dry. As for the ribs, they generally won't rust. High-end parasols are made of all-steel, aluminum or chrome-plated.

2. The main function of a parasol is to block ultraviolet rays. Because the fabric used to make parasols is relatively fine and contains some tiny particles, the best way to wash it is to rinse it with clean water instead of using a brush.

3. Try not to get water on the umbrella frame to prevent it from rusting. In fact, the best way is not to buy light-colored umbrellas.

Try not to expose parasols to rain as they will become dirty, which will not only affect the appearance but also reduce the UV protection factor.

Sun umbrella protection measures:

1. When using a parasol, if your hands are sweating, try not to touch the umbrella surface.

2. After using the parasol, fold it up as soon as possible and put it in your carry-on bag. Before putting it in the bag, please cover it with an umbrella cover or a plastic cover. The plastic cover is easier to cover and can keep the umbrella clean.

3. When you store your umbrella after returning home, be sure to put it in an umbrella cover or plastic cover and then put it in a convenient place.

4. When you don't need an umbrella, it's best to put it in a wardrobe, bookcase or dressing cabinet. Of course, you should also put on an umbrella cover and a plastic cover. The umbrella cover is very important for protecting the umbrella.

1. Prepare cleaning solvent

Choose a detergent that does not contain alkali, and pour the detergent into a disposable paper cup. The detergent should just cover the bottom of the paper cup. Next is white vinegar. Pour half a cup of white vinegar into the cup. Remember it is half a cup, and the remaining half will be filled with warm water at about 40 degrees. Pour warm water at about 40 degrees into the cup. The warm water serves the white vinegar and detergent. With warm water, they can fully blend and become more powerful.

2. Master the way of scrubbing

When brushing, you should brush along the umbrella frame in the same direction. You cannot brush vertically and horizontally at the same time. That will damage the sunscreen of the parasol. In addition, we choose detergents that do not contain alkali because such detergents can not only wash away stains on the umbrella, but also will not damage the sunscreen of the parasol.

3. Rinse with clean water

After brushing the entire surface of the umbrella, rinse it with clean water. Make sure to rinse it thoroughly, otherwise after the umbrella dries, traces of detergent will remain on the surface, which is ugly.

4. Dry the umbrella

Open the cleaned umbrella and place it in a cool place to dry until it is completely dry before putting it away to prevent the umbrella frame from rusting.

1. Does sun protection mean protection from the sun?

Although we cannot see ultraviolet rays, it does not mean that there is no harm. Ultraviolet rays in the sun exist even on cloudy and hazy days, and many artificial ultraviolet rays are also harmful to our skin health, so it is a wrong concept to say that sun protection is to protect against the sun.

2. Is the higher the SPF of sunscreen, the better?

Of course not. Because sunscreens with a higher SPF generally tend to clog pores and hinder sweating.

3. How to apply sunscreen?

Many people always apply a thick layer of sunscreen. In fact, applying sunscreen is also wrong. Because applying sunscreen can easily clog pores and cause various skin problems. The correct way is to pat an appropriate amount of sunscreen on your face with your hands.
