Care and Maintenance
MOST STAINS ON SOLUTION-DYED FABRICS CAN BE CLEANED UP WITH A MILD SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. Solution-Dyed fabrics should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt, etc., are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the umbrella. Simply brush off any loose dirt, etc., clean with warm water (no more than 100° F) and a mild natural soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap. When using liquid detergent, it may be necessary to re-apply a water repellent treatment, such as 303 Hi Tech Fabric Guard. When washing or cleaning, DO NOT SUBJECT TO EXCESSIVE HEAT as the fabric will shrink. DO NOT STEAM PRESS OR DRY IN ELECTRIC OR GAS DRYERS. Allow fabric to air dry. In case SolutionDyed fabrics are stored during the winter season, it should be cleaned, allowed to air dry and stored in a dry, well ventilated area.
To keep Solefin fabric (Grade D)looking fresh and new it should be washed periodically with detergent and water. Most stains can and should be cleaned up immediately after they occur. If, however, a spot or stain remains, clean with a solution of warm water and a mild detergent then rinse thoroughly. If necessary, apply laundry prewash, leave in for 10 minutes and then reapply warm water and detergent. After cleaning, always rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry. The fabric will dry quickly because it is a naturally water repellent material.
