Umbrella Care

A London Undercover umbrella is not just for Christmas. It 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 provide protection from both rain and wind. However, they are not intended to withstand strong gusts. To prevent damage, 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

Weather the storm but not your weight

Avoid leaning on your umbrella to prevent damage to the shaft. Additionally, refrain from using it as a walking stick, as repeated impact with the ground may collapse the frame over time.

Step Three

Leave open to 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

Keep it cool

Stay clear of 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

Keep it clean

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

Step Six

Avoid 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.
