Hammock : instructions, repairs

To preserve the quality of your hammock, be sure to clean it regularly, especially if it is used frequently or exposed to the elements. By keeping your hammock clean, you reduce the risk of mould, dirt build-up, insect infestation and mould growth.

We do not recommend putting your hammock canvas in the washing machine, as this could damage its textile properties.

Instead, we recommend:
- Actively shake your hammock to remove most of the surface dirt,
- Lay your hammock flat on a clean surface and scrub the canvas with a soft-bristled brush,
- Address stains by cleaning them using an organic soap such as Aleppo, Marseille or Black soap,
- Rinse your canvas to remove the cleaning agent,
- Hang your canvas outside to dry

After washing your hammock, make sure it’s completely dry before folding it away. Just like with damp clothes, folding up a hammock while still damp presents a risk of mould developing.

For storage, place the straps on one side and fold your hammock by rolling it up on itself before putting it back in its cover. We recommend storing your hammock in a dry place to prevent mould from starting to form on it. In a waterproof bag out of the sun, a dry, cool basement is the ideal place to spend the winter.
