How do I care for my Alpha Phi Alpha umbrella?
To extend the life of your Alpha umbrella, allow it to dry completely before storing by leaving it open in a well-ventilated area after use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not needed. If your umbrella gets dirty, gently wipe the canopy with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or machine washing. Never force the umbrella mechanism, and handle it gently when opening and closing to maintain proper function.
