How do I care for my Zeta Phi Beta umbrella?
To ensure longevity, allow your umbrella to dry fully before closing it by leaving it partially open in well-ventilated areas. Never store wet umbrellas closed, as moisture promotes mildew and fabric deterioration. Store in cool, dry places away from direct heat. Once completely dry, close gently without forcing mechanisms. Proper drying extends umbrella life significantly.
