Maintenance and cleaning
1. Maintenance and cleaning should only be done by official MAY dealers.
2. Cleaning the canopy: Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the canopy, or use a high-pressure hose
(max. 30° C, max. 30 bar, min. 30 cm distance between nozzle and canopy) and CleanoMay,
art. no. 350848. Afterwards rinse well with clear water so no soap residues remain on the fabric.
If not cleaned properly, the canopy fabric may get damaged.
• Follow our cleaning instructions for cleaning your parasol.
3. The MAY company will be pleased to overhaul your parasol and clean the canopy fabric for you.
However, this is only possible off-season, i.e. from October to December.
4. Please contact your local retailer to clarify the transport to the May company.
5. Please keep in mind, the lead time for spare canopies and other spare parts is shorter during winter
than in spring and summer time.
Caution
3. Store the parasol away from mice.
Mice like to gnaw on textiles. This causes material damage.
If the parasol is not protected from mice, they may damage the canopy. Please always check
each storage to make sure mice will not get in.
• Do not store a parasol in lying position on the floor.
• Cross arm racks (no connection to the ground) that are doweled into the wall are a good
solution, as long as the distance to the ground is big enough, so mice cannot climb up.
• A parasol that is stored in vertical position is protected from mice, as they cannot climb up
the centre pole.
