CARE & MAINTENANCE

The better care you take of your hammock the longer it lasts
and the less maintenance it requires. Here’s a practical guide to making it last.
✔️
-
always set up according to instructions
-
store in a cool, dry place when not in use
-
keep it clean and wash it if needed
-
keep the cords untwisted
-
when tightening the loops pull the line towards the hammock, not towards the carabiner (less friction and less stress on the bury)
-
always nicely roll the cords before storing to avoid tangles
-
make sure the tree straps are not wrapped around sharp objects (nails, rusty edges, sharp rocks)
-
when putting the tree huggers in the bag, roll them starting from the loops (labels in the centre of the roll)
-
keep the bag on the suspension system when pitching the hammock
❌
-
avoid prolonged sun exposure (both for yourself and the hammock)
-
avoid drinking and eating inside your hammock (or do it carefully)
-
don’t overtighten the suspension, more tension
-
don’t drag on the ground - especially through thorny plants/mud
-
avoid sharp objects (keys, knives, garments) inside the hammock
-
don’t put dirty boots on the fabric
-
don’t smoke ciggies inside your hammock (it’s yuck anyway)
-
keep away from fire (embers/radiating heat)
-
avoid exceeding the weight limit and swinging like a maniac
KEEP IT CLEAN
Full washing
If the spot is really big or you want to refresh the fabric, use a tub with warm water and a little bit of mild detergent and hand wash it. Air dry and store as usual once completely dry.
Minor stains
Gently scrub off the dirt with a wet sponge.
You can use a mild detergent if necessary.
