Caring for Umbrellas

CARING FOR YOUR UMBRELLAS

Brides: We highly recommend allocating someone specific to be responsible for the care and tracking of the umbrellas throughout your day.

Storing the Umbrellas

The umbrellas should be kept in a safe place all together in the black tube where possible. This prevents against loss and accidental breakage from someone stepping on them.

Please do not store umbrellas, particularly black or coloured ones, in direct sunlight for long periods of time. This may cause premature fading of colour.

Umbrellas can be stood on the handle or the head. It is not recommended to keep them lying down in case of accidental damage.

Using the Umbrellas

Always unclip the strap around the umbrella before attempting to open.

When opening, hold the umbrella pointing downwards and away from you. Shake it by twisting your wrist clockwise and anticlockwise back and forth in quick succession. This will open all the folds of the umbrella.

When in use, keep the umbrellas an appropriate distance from each other so to avoid bumping and accidental damage.

Always use the umbrellas in a responsible manner, taking care of the people around you.

Be aware of the tip and handle of the umbrella when placing it on the ground to avoid excessive chipping which could result in a damage fee.

After Using the Umbrellas

If umbrellas are wet, close the umbrella and stand it on it’s head out of direct sunlight until dry.

When dry, shake umbrellas as above, wrap strap around the body of the umbrella and clip. Smooth down folds if necessary.

Store back in the black tube provided.  To fit more umbrellas in the tube, alternate between head first and handle first.

PLEASE NOTE:

Packing wet or damp umbrellas away causes rust stains which are irremovable.

Umbrellas that develop rust stains are considered damaged and a $25 fee per umbrella will be charged.
