Tips for cleaning umbrellas: cloth umbrellas and silk umbrellas should be cleaned with a soft brush dipped in alcohol solution, or with warm detergent water, then rinsed with clean water and dried.

How to wash a dirty parasol

When brushing, brush along the umbrella frame in the same direction. Do not brush vertically and horizontally at the same time. Doing so will damage the sunscreen of the parasol. In addition, we choose detergents that do not contain alkali because such detergents can not only remove stains on the umbrella, but also do not damage the sunscreen of the parasol. After brushing the surface of the umbrella, rinse it with clean water. Be sure to wash it thoroughly, otherwise after the umbrella is dried, traces of detergent will be left on the surface, which is ugly. Open the cleaned umbrella in a cool place to dry until it is completely dry before putting it away, so that the umbrella frame will not rust.

Sun umbrella introduction

A parasol is an umbrella that is mainly used to block direct sunlight. A parasol can block about 70% of ultraviolet rays, but it cannot block reflected ultraviolet rays. If there is no umbrella with an anti-ultraviolet coating, you can also use an ordinary parasol. The black umbrella has a relatively good defense effect, followed by pink and goose yellow, while red has almost no anti-ultraviolet function. Choosing an anti-ultraviolet umbrella mainly depends on the fabric of the umbrella. Studies have shown that thick fabrics have better anti-ultraviolet performance than thin ones. Generally speaking, cotton, silk, nylon, viscose and other fabrics have poor anti-ultraviolet effects, while polyester is better; some consumers believe that the thicker the umbrella, the better the anti-ultraviolet performance, but this is not the case. For example, the Paradise Umbrella series has developed a thin but very tight fabric with far better protection than general fabrics; in addition, the darker the color of the anti-ultraviolet performance, the better, with satin fabric being the best, followed by twill and plain weave. In order to prevent ultraviolet damage to the skin, a parasol with anti-ultraviolet function is usually the choice of people. There are many types of parasols, and the anti-ultraviolet effect of parasols varies depending on the shading rate of the fabric.
