Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your patio umbrella.
- Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before closing or storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, especially during off-seasons or severe weather, close the umbrella and secure it with the sewn-in strap. Store in a dry, protected area to prevent damage and prolong fabric life.
- Inspection: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and moving parts to ensure they are secure. Tighten as necessary.

Troubleshooting
