Umbrellas are often used in our daily life, but they often break down after a long time. In fact, this is not necessarily a quality problem. Most of the time, it is because we can't maintain them. Here's how to maintain umbrellas to prolong their service life.
Daily maintenance of umbrellas
1. Don't fold the umbrella with water after use. Open the umbrella, wipe the inner and outer poles and umbrella surface with soft cloth, hang upside down in a ventilated place to dry, then close the umbrella and put it away.
2. Before you open the umbrella, you should shake the umbrella surface, straighten the umbrella bone, and then slowly open it to prevent the umbrella bone from breaking. For ordinary umbrellas, it should be avoided to use in strong wind as far as possible, so as to avoid injury to the umbrella ribs due to reverse folding.
3. The umbrella cloth contains acid after dyeing. The newly bought umbrella must not be placed for a long time. It can only be placed after acid is removed by rain washing. If the umbrella is not hung on the lime wall containing alkali, it can prevent the umbrella surface from being brittle. When the umbrella is not in use, it is better to put it in the umbrella cover to prevent dust sticking.
4. Do not use umbrella to carry things, do not use umbrella as walking stick, keep umbrella close to high temperature, can prevent umbrella deformation. The surface of nylon umbrella should be prevented from splashing ash and sparks, so as to avoid breaking the surface.
Maintenance of sun umbrella
First of all, when you use it, try to touch the umbrella surface with your sweaty hands. Sun umbrella should also be wiped clean, air dry, put down at room temperature for a while, and then put it away. Do not put it away when it is too hot.
This will make the umbrella surface aging, brittle and easy to rot. Sunny umbrellas are best used separately. One is that the sun umbrella is more beautiful and will be dirty after being drenched. The other is that the sunscreen effect will be reduced after being drenched. It's not included in this list.
Umbrella decontamination tips
Cloth umbrellas and silk umbrellas should be washed with a soft brush dipped in alcohol solution, or washed with warm washing powder water, then washed with water and dried. If there are stains on the umbrella, wash it with half vinegar and half water. The silk umbrella can't open the brush, otherwise it is too tight and easy to crack.
Dark colored umbrellas can be washed with a brush dipped in strong tea or Ivy tea, while colored umbrellas can be washed with ammonia water to clean the stains on the umbrellas and keep their original color. Do not use gasoline, kerosene and other organic solvents to wash, it will fade. The main function of the sun umbrella is to resist ultraviolet rays. Because the fabric of the sun umbrella is fine and contains some small particles, the best washing method is to wash it with water instead of brush.
