What are the basic care instructions for umbrellas?

"I just noticed my umbrella smells kind of weird..."
"It was rusty in places, and the rust had even transferred to the fabric!"
"It was my favorite umbrella, but the fabric has discolored."
Have you ever had an experience like this? Leaving your umbrella unattended in the entryway or on the eaves after coming home, or improper maintenance, can lead to such a situation. Try the maintenance methods we'll introduce below, starting today.


■Minimum maintenance steps to take on the day you use your umbrella: ①Since rainwater contains dirt, rinse it lightly.
② Gently pat away any excess moisture with a towel, then hang it to dry in a relatively low-humidity area such as the entryway.

■The best skincare routine to follow on sunny days
① After drying in the shade to remove moisture, test the water-repellent spray (available at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building on an inconspicuous area first, then spray it evenly and let it dry thoroughly.

* Direct sunlight can cause the fabric to fade and damage the fibers, so we recommend drying it in the shade.

② Close the umbrella and fasten only the top clasp (the one on the handle) for storage.

* Prolonged use of the middle fastener may cause creases, leading to discoloration and damage to the fabric.

③ When dirt is noticeable, wash it with diluted neutral detergent and a sponge, dry it with a hairdryer, and apply a waterproofing spray to maintain its water-repellent effect.

If left wet and not properly dried, the joints of the bones can rust, weakening the bones and potentially causing odors and mold.
Performing maintenance on both rainy and sunny days will help prevent these problems. Since daily maintenance can be difficult for business people, we also recommend having a spare umbrella.

■Care Frequency <br>It is important to take good care of your umbrella so that it can be used for a long time. We recommend taking care of it on a regular basis, such as cleaning it after each use before putting it away.
