Storage: Always dry the umbrella completely before storing and fold carefully to avoid wrinkling the fabric. Protect it with a cover and lay on a hard, flat surface in a well-ventilated location.
Market Umbrella Wooden Pole & Frame: Our market umbrella’s simplicity of design requires little more than the General Maintenance and Storage instructions above. Any accidental scrapes or scratches on you wooden pole may be touched up a matching wood stain and covered with marine spar varnish.

General Information:Do not use bleach unless specifically listed as a cleaning agent for your specific fabric. The life of your fabric largely depends on its care and use. It is important to clean your fabric regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Also, fabric life can be extended by simply hosing down your umbrella regularly with water. For details on specific fabric types look up the Fabric description in this section.
