Care
Looking after your BLUNT is key to increasing its lifespan. Here are a few simple tips and tricks for keeping your BLUNT looking and performing at its best.
Your new BLUNT
Leave your new BLUNT open overnight. Just like stretching your muscles, expanding the opening mechanism will result in a quick and easy opening every time.
Drying your BLUNT
Allow your BLUNT to completely dry after being in the rain to reduce the chance of mildew and stains forming. Leave your umbrella fully open in a dry area until no moisture remains. If space is limited, your BLUNT can be dried standing with the handle facing up and the canopy tie released.
Storing your BLUNT
Store your BLUNT in its sleeve to avoid any nicks, holes or scuffs. This will also protect the canopy from sun fade and general wear and tear when not in use.
The BLUNT tips
If one of your tips looks pointy instead of curved when the umbrella is open, a tip may have become detached. This can simply be pushed back into place – see our tip replacement tutorial for guidance.
Cleaning your BLUNT
Use warm water and a clean cloth to wipe any marks off your canopy. Avoid the use of chemical detergents and bristle brushes as these can cause damage to the fabric. BLUNT canopies are not machine washable, we recommend washing by hand.
Opening your BLUNT
Dirt and debris can build up over time, creating friction as the umbrella is opened. Wipe the umbrella shaft with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean.
