BLUNT's official care page recommends thoroughly drying wet umbrellas, wiping marks with water and a clean cloth, and avoiding harsh detergents, bristle brushes and machine washing. Follow your own maker's care labels, particularly for automatic mechanisms and special finishes.

1. Remove the umbrella from your bag indoors and shake off droplets gently, away from other people.
2. Open the canopy or loosen its fabric tie in a safe, ventilated place until dry. Avoid blocking exits or sealing it wet in its sleeve.
3. Spot-wipe dirt with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid abrasive brushes, bleach, strong detergents and machine washing; check special coating care labels.
4. Visually inspect the folding ribs, joints and tips for bends or breaks. Never force a jammed automatic mechanism.
5. Wait for fabric, handle and folds to become dry. Avoid hot hairdryers, direct radiators and prolonged intense sun.
6. Fold along the original lines, fasten the tie and use the sleeve only when everything is dry. Check that the sleeve interior is dry as well.
