Hello Egl, I need help in cleaning my meta parasol. It's white, and I seem to have brushed it against some material that has caused a couple of long black 'scratches' on it's material. I was wondering...the parasol. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can remove the scratches effectively without damaging it? Thanks in advance I searched the memories but I didn't see anything related to this >

I know a lot of people on this community love them, so I figured I'd made a little post on where you can find these, and some companies that make them. Sadly I don't know many places yet, and if someone...both Lisbeth Dahl (a black one) and H.Due.O (a black one with orange pinstripes) and I love them both.

Today my parasol got stolen in Pike Place Market of Seattle. I cried a bit, and then I got over it by thinking about the absolutely fantastic parasol I'll make in its place.

Is it really as simple as I think
