Can I put this in the washing machine?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To deploy the umbrella, release the velcro strap and extend the telescopic shaft until it clicks into place. When closing, press the release catch near the handle to slide the shaft down. Always ensure the canopy is fully dry before storing it in a bag to maintain the integrity of the RPET fabric. Wipe the iron ribs periodically with a dry cloth if exposed to salt air or heavy rain to prevent oxidation.
