Every BLUNT has a 38-point check before it reaches you.

But there are some things you can do to ensure a great Blunt experience for years to come:

• BLUNT™ umbrellas feature high-performance, highly tensioned canopies. To ease the opening process in your new Blunt, leave it open overnight when first purchased.

• To maintain that silky smooth action, periodically wipe the shaft clean and apply a light layer of petroleum jelly (‘Vaseline’).

• The canopy can be cleaned with a damp cloth or soft brush.

• Avoid dragging the canopy edge along the ground, as this may damage it.

• The BLUNT™ Umbrella Tips combine a robust design with easy replacement: if they become detached by accident, they can be simply pushed back into place.
