Key takeaways
- A parasol lasts longest if you keep the canopy clean, let it dry fully before closing it, and close it whenever the wind picks up.
- Brush off dust and leaves first, then wash the canopy gently with mild soapy water and rinse.
- Never store a parasol wet: let it dry fully open to avoid mould and marks.
- Over winter, store it closed, covered and somewhere dry, or keep it closed on days you don't need shade.
- We stock the Pacific 360° Parasol (€719) and the Hawaiian Parasol (€269), both in Natural or Black.
Looking after a parasol is simple: keep the canopy clean, make sure it's completely dry before you close it, and always close it in the wind and at the end of the day. A few minutes of care each season keeps the fabric looking fresh and the frame working smoothly for many summers.
Here's how to clean, protect and store your parasol, especially over the winter. See our parasols collection.
A simple parasol care routine
| Task | How often |
|---|---|
| Close the parasol | Every evening and whenever it's windy |
| Brush off leaves, dust and pollen | Weekly in use |
| Wash the canopy | A few times a season, and after bird droppings or tree sap |
| Check the frame and opening mechanism | At the start and end of each season |
| Check the base is secure | Every time you move the parasol |
How do you clean a parasol canopy?
- Open the parasol on a calm, dry day.
- Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush.
- Wash with lukewarm water, a little mild soap and a soft sponge, working gently.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap.
- Leave it open to dry completely in the sun before closing it.
Avoid bleach, solvents and stiff brushes, which can damage the fabric and its colour. For stubborn marks, ask our team before trying any specialist cleaner.
Why should a parasol always be dry before closing?
Folding a damp canopy traps moisture in the fabric, which can lead to mould, mildew and marks, especially in humid coastal areas. After rain or washing, leave it open until it's completely dry.
How do you look after a parasol in wind?
- Close it as soon as the wind picks up, and every evening.
- Use a base suited to the parasol's size; our team can advise on the right base.
- Don't leave it open while you're out, even on a calm day: coastal gusts can arrive quickly.
How should you store a parasol over winter?
- Clean and dry it fully first.
- Close it and secure the canopy so it can't flap.
- Use a protective cover if you have one.
- Store it somewhere dry and ventilated, such as a garage or storeroom, or leave it closed and covered in a sheltered spot.
- On sunny winter days, you can still open it for lunch outdoors, then close it again.
