Whatever you put in into your patio is money earned the hard way. Every piece of seating and table surface in there amounts to several hours you spent in the office or in the workplace. You should, therefore, exercise care in your outdoor stuffs starting off with your patio umbrellas.
Patio umbrellas may look like simple outdoor accessories but they offer a lot of help in the patio space. They can provide shield for you against the heat and rain. They can keep glare away from your eyes and keep you also away from the sights of your next door neighbors. With all the help these simple pieces of outdoor equipment bring, you should know how to properly care for them.
The first thing that can ruin the look of your outdoor umbrellas is the sun. Though claims of UV-resistant fabrics can be made, the umbrellas would still experience quick fading if you let them expose to the sun all the time. When you're not using your patio, you can keep your umbrellas close and store it in your garage or in your outdoor shed. Bring them out only on those times when you will be using your patio for the day.
When patio umbrellas are exposed for quite some time in the backyard, they will likely collect dirt and dust in their surfaces. Take down the umbrellas and give them a scrubbing using soft brush and mild detergent. Remember, the dirt and grime will not only make your outdoor umbrellas look untidy but they will make it prone to fraying and having holes and tears on them later on.
Heavy rains can bring in some strong gusts of wind. Wind is the outdoor umbrellas worst enemy. It can sweep them up and destroy them in no time. It is necessary, therefore, that you keep your outdoor umbrellas close and store them whenever storms are coming in. Keeping them in storage when you're not around in the house is also important as your umbrellas can turn out to be flying weapons that can wreak damage to your glass windows or doors.
