Bought a red umbrella this spring. Should have sprayed with scotch guard but did not. Now is faded and not so bright. Any suggestions on how to spruce up and preserve it for next spring? Would love to keep it red.

Use Rit liquid dye (scarlet #5).
Mix 1/2 bottle to one gallon water.
Place dye solution into a spray bottle.
Test for color match in inconspicuous area.
If necessary, adjust color saturation with increments of 25% of remaining dye until satisfied.
Best uniform results may come from application using a manual garden type sprayer.
Sponging, wiping or brushing risks "blotching"
Seal after new color has dried with something that has UV protection characteristics.
May find such a sealer by searching RV sites under "canvas awning"
