🧺 CARE INSTRUCTIONS — AMAZONAS “ARUBA / TONGA / TOBAGO / SAMBA” HAMMOCKS
Material: ELLTex (Extra Long Lasting Textile) — 65 % recycled cotton, 35 % polyester
Type: Fabric hammocks with fixed wooden spreader bars

✅ Regular Use & Setup

Inspect fabric, stitching, ropes, and wooden spreader bars before first use.

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

Avoid dragging on rough ground or contact with sharp surfaces.

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

Use only approved hanging systems rated for the hammock’s load capacity (see product page).

🧼 Cleaning

Hand-wash only using lukewarm water and mild detergent.

Place the entire hammock in a clean bath or large tub — it’s fine if the wooden bars get wet, but dry them thoroughly afterwards.

Gently agitate the fabric to release dirt; avoid twisting or wringing.

Rinse well and hang to air-dry in a shaded, ventilated area.

Ensure the wooden bars are completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.

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

☀️ Avoid prolonged direct sunlight — UV can fade and weaken fibres.

🌧 Weather & Storage Care

Bring indoors or under cover during rain, frost, or long damp periods.

💨 Avoid leaving the hammock exposed in strong winds — spreader bars can act like sails and cause tipping, swinging, or damage. Always take down or secure during gusty or stormy weather.

Always dry completely before storage.

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

Avoid greenhouses, windowed sheds, or conservatories — even indirect sunlight through glass can cause unseen UV damage in winter.

During colder months, protect against rodents by storing in a sealed, rodent-proof plastic container with a tight lid.

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, mildew, or loose fittings.

Replace or repair any damaged components before reuse.

Treat wooden spreader bars annually with a clear outdoor wood oil or sealant if weathered.

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

⚠️ Safety & Longevity Tips

Avoid jumping, standing, or excessive swinging — hammocks are for gentle relaxation.

Never exceed the stated weight limit.

💨 Do not leave out in high winds — always take down or secure to prevent tipping or damage.

Protect from prolonged UV exposure during use and storage.

Rotate occasionally to balance wear and fade evenly.

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