Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Cleaning: Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Do not use harsh chemicals or detergents.
- Storage: Always place the umbrella in a protective case or secure slot in your bag to prevent snagging the fabric on zippers or keys.
- Handle Care: Keep the wooden handle dry and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces to prevent dings or splintering.
