What causes Wildflower stains?

Wildflowers contain natural dyes which can stain fabrics without proper care. The staining occurs when wildflowers come in contact with water, causing their dyes to release onto the fabric of umbrellas. This is why it's important to be mindful when handling wildflowers near umbrellas.

How do I remove Wildflower stains?

Removing Wildflower stains can be tricky, but these simple steps should do the trick:

Mix together 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in a cup or bowl.
Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and dab it onto the stained area.
Continue to dab until stain starts to fade.
Rinse the cloth and repeat the process until the stain is removed.
Once the stain has been removed, rinse the umbrella with cool water.
If necessary, repeat the previous steps until stain is completely gone.

How do I prevent Wildflower stains?

It's always better to prevent a stain than to try to remove it. Here are a few tips to help you avoid Wildflower stains on your umbrella:

Choose an umbrella with a waterproof surface or coating.
Avoid carrying an umbrella near blooming wildflowers.
If you must carry an umbrella near wildflowers, shake off any excess water before storing it away.
