Umbrella Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Patio umbrellas are often the last thing anyone thinks to clean, yet their canopies catch tree sap, bird droppings, and creeping green mold all winter. We open each umbrella fully and treat the canopy top and underside with a fabric-safe solution that lifts organic staining. The ribs and center pole are wiped down so rust and grime do not transfer back onto clean fabric. Dried and re-tensioned, the umbrella looks sharp and shades properly again instead of sagging with trapped moisture.
