🧺 CARE INSTRUCTIONS — AMAZONAS “AMERICAN DREAM” HAMMOCK
✅ Regular Use & Setup

Inspect the fabric, stitching, and spreader bars before first use.

Hang so the hammock forms a gentle curve — never overly tight or flat.

Avoid dragging across rough ground or sharp surfaces.

Remove shoes, belts, or items that could snag the fabric.

Use only approved hanging systems rated for the hammock’s load capacity (approx. 180 kg).

🧼 Cleaning

Hand-wash only using lukewarm water and mild detergent.

Ideal method for spreader-bar hammocks:

Place the hammock gently in a clean bath or large tub.

Submerge the fabric section only — avoid soaking the wooden spreader bars for long periods.

If bars are fixed, support them on the bath edges so only the fabric sits in water.

Lightly agitate to loosen dirt, then rinse thoroughly.

Hang to air-dry in a shaded, ventilated area.

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause UV fading and fibre weakening.

Do not bleach, tumble-dry, or use harsh cleaners.

🌧 Weather & Storage Care

Bring indoors or under cover during rain, frost, or extended damp spells.

Ensure the hammock is completely dry before storage.

Store loosely folded in a breathable fabric bag — never sealed plastic.

Avoid storing in greenhouses, sheds with windows, or conservatories.
Even indirect sunlight through glass can cause slow, unseen UV damage during winter months.

In colder months, rodents may be attracted to the hammock fabric for nesting.
To prevent this, store inside a sealed, rodent-proof container such as a sturdy plastic box with a tight-fitting lid.
Avoid cardboard or open shelving in garages or lofts.

Keep away from heaters and open flames; choose a cool, shaded indoor space for long-term storage.

🔍 Maintenance

Regularly inspect fabric, ropes, and spreader bars for wear or mildew.

Replace or repair any damaged components before reuse.

If wooden spreader bars become weathered, treat them annually with a suitable wood oil or clear outdoor sealant.

Check hooks, carabiners, and chains for rust or bending.

⚠️ Safety & Longevity Tips

Avoid jumping or swinging excessively — hammocks are for gentle use.

Never exceed the stated weight limit.

Protect from prolonged UV exposure during use and storage.

Rotate occasionally to balance wear and colour fade.

Always store dry, shaded, and rodent-safe to preserve quality and lifespan.
