Tip of the Day: Cleaning Outdoor Umbrellas
It doesn’t matter if you are packing away your outdoor umbrella until next season or just want to freshen it up for what’s left of this one, here’s a way to keep it clean: tip the umbrella on its side and sweep off any debris. Whatever else is left will come off with a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon of dish soap and 1 1/2 cups of water that you can put in a spray bottle to mist the umbrella. Wipe off with a wet sponge and air dry. If you have stains like bird poop, apply a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar and dish soap. This honey-like consistency will soak in then you can wipe away with a wet sponge.
