Some tips for using and maintaining your H2O umbrella...

Here are some useful ideas to help you keep an umbrella in top working condition, just like the day it left our workshop:

  • Dry your open umbrella after each use. Even inside a house, it does not bring bad luck, and it increases its life expectancy.
  • Fold it in the folds. This will keep your umbrella clean for the longest time and ensure a better seal.
  • Exposure to UV rays from the sun, but also from the moon, makes colors pass and strongly withers your pet. The rear shelves of vehicles are not recommended. To overcome these inconveniences, we recommend that you purchase a protective sleeve, with or without a shoulder strap (sold separately).
  • In the event of stains on the fabric, we recommend the use of slightly soapy water or gasoline F that you will find in hardware stores.
  • Over the course of a few years, your pet may not be very waterproof anymore. You can buy Re-waterproofing aerosols from the store, and repeat an induction in a well-ventilated room. You can also bring us your umbrella so that our services can take care of it for free.
  • Due to its warranty and longevity, H2O umbrellas become transferable goods, and therefore family goods, however the fabrics age or are no longer up to date, we can re-cover your old umbrellas, at your expense.
  • We remind you that our umbrellas protect from the rain but not from the wind. It is not recommended to go out with winds above 40 km / h as this may damage the umbrella or cause injury. However if such an adventure happens to you, we will repair the damaged ribs in our workshops.

CORRECT USE AND COMMON SENSE = LONGEVITY AND SAFETY
