Umbrella Care

To protect your Original Duckhead umbrella from damage, especially during strong gusts, always face it into the wind.

Strong gusts can still cause damage, so use with care.

After use, leave the umbrella open until it is fully dry. When cleaning, stick to plain water—detergents can compromise its water-repellent properties. Following these steps will help preserve your umbrella’s durability and performance.

Step 01

Always allow your umbrella to dry completely while fully open. This ensures the fabric breathes and prevents potential rusting of the metal parts.

Step 02

Store your umbrella in its protective sleeve, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Step 03

Clean your umbrella with a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid using chemical detergents or bristle brushes.

Step 04

To maintain smooth operation, periodically wipe the shaft clean and apply a very thin layer of petroleum jelly.
