When purchasing, you only need to choose according to your preferences and the size of the venue.
How to choose an outdoor umbrella with good sunshade effect
First of all, we should pay attention to the anti-ultraviolet performance of the umbrella fabric itself. Generally, the umbrella surface made of polyester fiber is selected. Second, pay attention to the thickness and compactness of the fabric.
Of course, it is difficult for people who do not know enough about outdoor umbrellas to distinguish the material of the umbrella surface. So here is a little trick for you. When purchasing, you can open the umbrella to see the shadow on the ground. The darker the shadow, the better the sunshade effect.
How to clean them after purchase
In fact, it is best not to wash theoutdoor umbrella, because it will affect the effect of the umbrella. If it must be cleaned, it is best to wash the umbrella surface with clean water. Or don’t buy a light-coloredoutdoor umbrella.
Make a cleaning solution foroutdoor umbrella. The cleaning solution only needs white vinegar and detergent. It should be noted that you must choose a detergent that does not contain alkali. Prepare another disposable paper cup. First of all, the detergent is put on the stage, pour the detergent into the disposable paper cup, as long as the detergent does not pass the bottom of the paper cup. Next is the white vinegar, pour half a cup of white vinegar into the glass.
Remember that it is half a cup, and the remaining half needs to be filled with warm water at about 40 degrees. Pour warm water of about 40 degrees into the cup. Only with warm water can they fully integrate and the power will be stronger. After preparing the detergent, we can use a towel dipped in the washing liquid to scrub the parasol. We also want to remind everyone that when wiping, wipe along the vertical direction of the umbrella stand, and the direction should be consistent. You can’t wipe vertically for a while, and then wipe horizontally for a while. That would destroy the sun protection layer of theoutdoor umbrella.
In addition, we choose a detergent that does not contain alkali, because this kind of detergent can not only wash off the stains on the umbrella, but also will not damage the sun protection layer of the parasol. As for white vinegar, it can keep the fabric of such an umbrella with its original luster, and with 40 degree warm water mixed with detergent and white vinegar, the decontamination effect is better. After brushing the surface of the umbrella, we have to clean it with clean water.
Remember, be sure to wash it thoroughly, otherwise after the umbrella dries, traces of detergent will be left on the surface, which is ugly. Next, put the cleaned umbrella in the shade to dry. By comparison, the effect is obvious. This method can clean the parasol without damaging the parasol, so you might as well try it.
