Removing the Stain
To successfully remove urine stains from umbrellas, you must follow these steps:
- Mix one part vinegar with two parts of water in a spray bottle. Spray it liberally onto the stain.
- Make a paste using baking soda and dish soap or detergent. Apply the paste directly onto the stain and allow it to sit for 15 minutes.
- Once the paste has had time to sit, use a clean cloth to scrub the stain gently. This will help to loosen stain. Rotate the cloth often to prevent spreading the stain.
- Rinse the area with cold water and allow the fabric to air dry.

It is a good idea to be proactive in avoiding future urine stains. There are several things you can do:
- Make sure umbrellas are properly stored so they are out of reach of children, pets, and other individuals who may cause stains.
- Spraying the umbrella with a fabric protector can help protect against dirt and spills.
