On rainy days, the whole family comes home with dripping umbrellas and puts them in the umbrella stand. After a short time, a pool of water forms at the bottom of the umbrella stand, which, depending on the model of umbrella stand, overflows and floods the floor.

Puddles in the umbrella stand can be prevented: On rainy days, simply place a sponge of the appropriate size at the bottom of the umbrella stand on which the umbrellas are placed. The sponge absorbs the raindrops and prevents them from overflowing.

Don't forget: remove the sponge from time to time and squeeze it out.
