How do I clean the parasol?

Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or tips over.
Ensure the parasol is used with a sufficiently heavy and stable parasol base. Check that the base's securing mechanism is fully tightened around the parasol pole.
Canopy does not open or close smoothly.
Check for any obstructions around the opening mechanism or pole. Ensure the canopy fabric is not caught. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Water is pooling on the canopy.
While the material is waterproof, prolonged heavy rain can cause some water retention. Ensure the parasol is angled slightly to allow water runoff, or close it if the rain is heavy or prolonged. Dry thoroughly before storing.
Fading or wear on the fabric.
This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. To minimize this, close the parasol when not in use and consider storing it indoors during the off-season. For minor marks, clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible parasol base (sold separately) with adequate weight to support the parasol securely.
- Insert the parasol pole into the base and tighten any securing mechanisms.
- Extend the parasol canopy by using the integrated mechanism (typically a crank or pulley system, not specified in product details but common for this type of parasol).
Compatibility:
- This parasol is designed to be used with a dedicated parasol base. Ensure the base is heavy enough for the 2.7m diameter to prevent tipping.
- Check the diameter of your parasol base's opening to ensure it fits the pole of this parasol.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow it to dry completely before closing.
- Storage: When not in use, especially during high winds, rain, or the off-season, close the parasol securely and store it in a dry place to prolong its lifespan. Extended exposure to harsh weather can degrade the materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the pole and mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Tighten any loose fittings.
