Umbrella Care

A London Undercover umbrella is not just for Christmas. Yours has been carefully designed and crafted to be yours for a long time, with a little loving care.

The following tips should maximise the life of your umbrella.

Step One

Avoid Heavy Winds

Our umbrellas are built to protect from winds as well as rain. However, they will not protect from strong gusts. Avoid using your umbrella in heavy winds, particularly in large open areas, by sea/river fronts and bridges. Wind damage is not covered by our warranty.

Step Two

Dont lean

Avoid leaning on your umbrella and using it as a walking stick. Not only do you run the risk of snapping the shaft in half but repeatedly hitting the umbrella on the ground can eventually collapse and dismantle the frame.

Step Three

Let it dry

Always leave your umbrella open to dry to allow the fabric and materials to breathe. This will also prevent any potential rusting of metal parts.

Step Four

Dont stew

Keep away from radiators and hot places to prevent warping especially during the summer months. Avoid leaving in the back of your car, or sitting in a window.

Step Five

Clean gently

Clean only with plain water, as cleaning substances could remove proofing coatings.

Step Six

Not for battle

If you own one of our Telescopic Umbrellas, always carry it by the body when closed, not the handle.
Swinging and Extending the shaft by throwing it open like a lightsaber can potentially separate the sections of the shaft. Emulating a cricket bat or golf club is also bad for its health.
