How to clean your balcony parasol?

With the arrival of the hot summer, your garden parasol is open all day long. But how often should you clean your parasol?

Parasols that have been open for a long time will accumulate a lot of fallen material such as leaves, branches, and bird dropping. These fallen materials will not only affect the aesthetics of the parasol for a long time but will also produce unpleasant smells and mildew stains.

It is generally recommended that you clean the umbrella thoroughly once before putting it away for the winter. If you are still using it in the spring when it is wet, clean it at least every other month. If it's near tall shrubs or trees, the parasol may need to be cleaned more often.
