Essentials Tips For Maintaining Hammocks And Swing Chairs
If you maintain your hammock, it will last for many summer seasons. When you need to wash your hammock, you need to avoid twisting and tangling so simply tie the loops together with a string. Soak it in a bucket with warm water and mild detergent. Under no circumstances should you use bleach. Leave it too soak for about two hours, then hand rinse in clean water and hang. Always Dry your hammock before storing. If you are planning on using your hammock near the sea, rinse your hammock regularly in fresh water to minimise the effects of damage from sea salt in the air.
If you plan to hang your hammock outside in a very sunny location, we recommend that you take the hammock inside after each use. This way the hammock's colour will stay bright and colourful, also the cotton and nylon should not deteriorate and will last you many years.
