🧺 CARE INSTRUCTIONS — AMAZONAS “ARTE / BARBADOS / CARIOCA / GIGANTE / LAMBADA / PARADISO / SANTANA” HAMMOCKS
Material: 85 % cotton (recycled), 15 % polyester
Type: Classic fabric hammock (no spreader bars)

✅ Regular Use and Setup

Inspect the fabric, seams, and suspension ropes before each use.

Hang so the hammock forms a natural, deep curve (banana shape), never tight or flat.

Keep clear of sharp edges, rough walls, or abrasive ground surfaces.

Remove shoes, belts, or items that may snag or weaken the fabric.

Use only approved hanging systems rated for the hammock’s load capacity.

Protect the woven eyelets: these loops are made from many thin cotton strings braided together. When attaching the hammock to a fixing point, always connect using a smooth surface such as a carabiner, metal ring, or hammock hook. Do not attach the eyelets directly to rope or rough material, as friction can quickly wear through the thinner strands, causing the loop to fray and unravel.

🧼 Cleaning

Hand wash preferred using lukewarm water and mild detergent.

If machine washing:

Tie the suspension cords together to prevent tangling.

Place the hammock inside a large pillowcase or laundry bag.

Use a gentle 30 degree wash with mild detergent.

After washing, untie and shake out the hammock to restore shape.

Air dry flat or hang in a shaded, ventilated area until fully dry.

Do not tumble dry, bleach, or use fabric softener.

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight while drying, as UV can fade colours and weaken fibres over time.

🌧 Weather and Storage Care

Bring indoors or undercover during rain, frost, or prolonged damp weather.

Avoid leaving the hammock exposed in strong winds, as fabric can twist or strain the ropes.

Ensure the hammock is completely dry before folding or storing.

Store loosely rolled in a breathable fabric bag, never sealed plastic.

Avoid greenhouses, windowed sheds, or conservatories, as indirect sunlight through glass causes slow UV fading.

During winter, protect from rodents by storing in a sealed, rodent proof plastic container with a tight fitting lid.

Keep away from heaters and open flames, and choose a cool, shaded indoor storage location.

🔍 Maintenance

Regularly check the fabric and cords for wear, fraying, or mildew.

Spot clean minor marks with mild soap and water.

Repair or replace any worn suspension loops, knots, or ropes before use.

Retighten or re tie attachment points if they loosen with time.

⚠️ Safety and Longevity Tips

Do not jump, stand, or swing aggressively in the hammock.

Never exceed the stated weight capacity.

Lie diagonally for the most comfortable and supportive position.

Protect from prolonged UV exposure when not in use.

Rotate periodically to balance wear and colour fade.

Always store dry, shaded, and rodent safe to maintain lifespan.
