With time, people are increasingly investing in furnishing their outdoor living spaces and considering them an extension of their homes. One such furnishing item, in addition to the outdoor furniture sets, is the outdoor patio umbrella, which adds a serene touch to your yard. Not only does it offer shade from direct sunlight and rain, but it also enhances the ambiance of your outdoor spaces.
Whether you're looking for patio umbrellas for your retail business, outdoor restaurant, beachside resort, or backyard, you have come to the right place. In this post, we'll look at everything you need to know before you finalize which patio umbrella you should buy and how to keep it in good condition. So, let's dive into it!
Market umbrellas have a canopy mounted on the center of the metal pole. They are ideal for protecting your patio conversation sets from direct sunlight and rain. Patio Market umbrellas by Sofwe have a 9-foot radius and 6 robust ribs that provide excellent support. They are made of UV-resistant fabric that protects you from the sun's harmful rays. They also come with a crank lift and tilt feature that allows you to adjust the umbrella's angle and control the shade it provides.
Offset hanging umbrellas, as the name suggests, have a hanging canopy attached to the side of the frame, like Cantilever umbrellas. Sofwe's large offset umbrellas have eight steel rust-resistant ribs and offer 360-rotation and 50+ UV protection. The canopy is made of waterproof polyester and is designed to withstand high winds and heavy rain. Colors and logos can be customized.
Regarding outdoor umbrellas, size, and type should be considered simultaneously instead of evaluating them separately. As a first consideration, determine how much space will be available for the umbrella. Measure the space where you intend to install the umbrella and calculate its size accordingly. Make sure to leave enough space between the umbrella and the furniture or other objects for it to move freely in the wind. For instance, if you are considering buying a patio umbrella for a small outdoor area with a 3-seat sofa set, a market umbrella would be better suited as it doesn't take up as much space as cantilever or offset patio umbrellas do. Finally, consider the umbrella's height to ensure it will provide adequate shade. That's because outdoor umbrellas serve different purposes and are suitable for diverse spaces.
Most of Sofwe's patio umbrellas are made with smooth, lightweight, and quick-drying fabric to be cleaned regularly easily. There are multiple ways to clean an umbrella, depending on the type of umbrella you have invested in and its fabric and build material.
Brushing—With the umbrella canopy still attached to the metal structure, take some cleaning products and scrub the surface with gentle movements using a soft bristle brush. The bristle brush helps remove dirt from the fabric that could pile up due to longer outdoor exposure. Regularly cleaning the outdoor patio umbrella prevents the dirt from settling deep into the canopy's weave.
Washing – Washing the umbrella fabric is a more convenient and simple option, but that's impossible for all outdoor patio umbrellas because washing means removing the canopy from the frame. The best way to find out whether the patio umbrella you're getting is machine-friendly is to see the fabric cleaning tag or instruction manual that comes with it. Remove the fabric and put it in the washing machine with cold water and a soft cycle setting for washing your umbrella. The gentle spin cycle on the machine is used because of the waterproof fabrics of patio umbrellas that trap water particles. If the umbrella is stained or hasn't been cleaned in a very long time, use spot remover or greaser along with common detergent.
Drying – No matter how you clean the outdoor patio umbrellas, the next step is drying. Dry the umbrella canopy in an airy area with adequate sunlight, even if you machine-wash it. That's because of the high temperature of machine dryers that could damage the synthetic nylon or polyester fabric.

Can patio umbrella fabric be washed?Yes, the patio umbrella fabric or canopy can be washed if it's removable from the pole. Once removed, you can machine wash the fabric in cold water (for some types of umbrellas) or use a soap and water solution to clean it.
Is pressure washing good for cleaning patio umbrellas?No, pressure washing is not a good option for patio umbrellas. In pressure washing, the pole or ribs inside the patio umbrella canopy can bend or get destroyed. Therefore, patio umbrellas need gentle wash for durability.
